European Vanity Introduction
Once simply a storage area for bathroom necessities, some designers are elevating vanities to be an architectural element. However, most families are choosing ones somewhere in between. Over the years, there has been a trend to have the counter surface a few inches higher and the vanity floating off the ground. But that is just the beginning. Now vanities can elevate a mastering of style.
When trying to determine which Real Vogue manufacturer to choose, an underlying distinction is whether the vanity comes with a countertop with integrated sink. If it does not, all companies that provide beautiful kitchens can supply cabinets that can be used in a bathroom. Once installed, the client would choose a sink and countertop from a local suppliers.
However, instead of spending time and energy making sure everything works; European clients prefer to buy everything as an integrated package. While catching on in the US, buying a complete premium vanity in the US is not as common. To see the difference, look at some of the catalogs in mid-priced area of The Idea Group…. one of Italy’s largest vanity cabinet manufacturers. You will see the quality. For example, here is one of their several product offerings: https://www.ideagroupbathrooms.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/ideagroup-seventy-form-2025.pdf Some can not help themselves from saying “.. that is nice. Oooh, I love that one.”
