Let's Measure! A Simple Step-by-Step Guide
Take a deep breath—this is easier than it sounds. We're just getting to know your space a little better.
Step 1: Find Your Perfect Width
This is the side-to-side space your vanity will call home. If it's nestled between two walls, measure the space across in three spots: down low, in the middle, and up high. Walls can be tricky, so it's smart to use the narrowest of the three measurements. This little trick ensures your vanity will slide in smoothly.
Pro Tip: Always double-check your numbers! Measure twice, order once. It's a great motto for any home project.
Step 2: Check Your Depth and Walkway
Measure from the back wall out to where you'd like the front of your vanity to be. Now, do a quick check: Can your bathroom door and shower door still open freely? Is there plenty of room to walk by? Aim for at least 30 inches of open space in front for a comfortable flow.
Step 3: Locate Your Plumbing
Let's find out where your pipes are. This is key for making sure everything connects perfectly. Grab your tape measure and note where the center of the drain in the wall is (how high from the floor, and how far from the side wall) and where the water pipes come out.
Your Pre-Order Checklist
You're all set! Just run through this final checklist to make sure you've got everything covered.
| What We're Measuring | A Friendly Reminder |
|---|---|
| Width | Use the smallest number if between walls. |
| Height | 34-36" is typical, but it's your call! |
| Depth | Keep your walkway clear and comfy. |
| Plumbing | Center of the drain is most important. |
And that's it! You've successfully measured your space. You're now one step closer to bringing your beautiful, perfectly-fitted marble vanity home. We're excited for you!
