There a few things that you need to look at before you purchase a custom type of bathroom vanity. First you need to see how much room you will need to work with as well as the amount of wall space above the sink. You can only do so much with a small sink so you may decide to go a bit larger. You might have a better chance working with a larger sink because you can purchase a larger vanity. Try to focus on what you're wanting the guests to get out of their experience while using your bathroom.

A framed bathroom vanity mirror should cover the entire width of the sink while keeping the amount of space it occupies to a minimal. An oval or round framed mirror could help straighten this problem out. To help cover empty wall space you can add a towel rack that goes with the framing of the mirror.

Always think of your theme when you set out to purchase a bathroom vanity. An example here is: wood trim in a bathroom will add a lot of warmth while adding a matching mirror can compliment the overall theme of the bathroom.
