In truth, all wash basin bathroom cabinet topped with a sink is considered vanities, but not all bathroom vanities are considered cabinets. By definition: A bathroom vanity is a combination of a sink and the storage structure around it. In addition to storage, it also hides exposed plumbing to keep things looking more neat and tidy.

In some cases, bathroom vanities are very streamlined, mostly hiding the plumbing and with minimal storage to speak of. In other cases, the bathroom vanity will include a nice sized cabinet or even a wall-to-wall configuration.

It’s also worth pointing out that bathroom cabinets differ slightly from kitchen cabinets. While the style, installation and finish may seem identical to kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinetry is slightly different. First, they’re shallower. Kitchen cabinets are typically 24-inches deep, while bathroom cabinets are 21-inches deep and sometimes even shallower in small, custom bathroom applications. Second, they are also shorter: 30 – to 32-inches high, as opposed to standard 36-inch kitchen cabinets height.

But some things need to consider whether you are taller and want to customize the bathroom washbasin cabinet to be more ergonomically comfortable.
