   I need a new vanity for a narrow bathroom and want more storage without making the room feel crowded. What should I measure?

   Before choosing a vanity, it's worth measuring more than just the available wall width. A few key dimensions will help you find something that fits comfortably while maximizing storage.

   Here's what to measure:

   • Available width: Measure the maximum width the vanity can occupy, accounting for door trim, walls, and any obstacles.
   • Maximum depth: Measure from the wall into the room. In narrow bathrooms, a vanity that's 18–20 inches deep (instead of the standard 21–24 inches) can make a noticeable difference in walking space.
   • Height: Standard vanities are about 32–36 inches tall. Make sure a taller vanity won't interfere with mirrors, windows, or medicine cabinets.
   • Clearance in front: Aim for at least 30 inches of clear floor space in front of the vanity for comfortable use (more is even better if possible).
   • Door and drawer swing: Measure how much space is needed for the bathroom door, shower door, toilet, and vanity drawers to open without hitting each other.
   • Plumbing location: Measure the height and horizontal position of the drain and water supply lines from the wall. This helps ensure they'll fit inside the new cabinet without major modifications.
   • Sink centerline: Note where the drain is centered if you're replacing only the vanity and want to minimize plumbing changes.
   • Mirror and light placement: Measure the distance from the countertop to the mirror and light fixture so the new vanity and faucet won't interfere.

   For maximizing storage in a narrow space, consider:

   • Drawers instead of large cabinet doors—they make better use of the available space.
   • Full-extension drawers so you can reach items at the back.
   • A toe-kick drawer or tilt-out tray in front of the sink for small items.
   • A shallower vanity (18–20 inches deep) with vertical storage rather than extra depth.

   A simple sketch with all the measurements labeled is often enough to compare different vanities accurately.

   If you can share:

   1. the bathroom width,
   2. the maximum vanity width,
   3. the maximum depth you can accommodate, and
   4. whether the sink is centered or offset,

   I can help narrow down vanity sizes and storage layouts that will fit your space well.
