There are two types of vanity cabinets for vessel sinks; mounted and freestanding. Mounted cabinets are generally built out of a durable solid wood like pine, maple, and other hard woods. The counter top is usually made from particle board, which can sometimes be porous. Such cabinets tend to have a more stylish appearance, but if you want an all around vanity cabinet, these cabinets may not be your best choice.

A freestanding vanity cabinet for vessel sinks is simply a flat panel that is supported by the sink itself on one end and contains space for storage below the surface on the other. These types of cabinets typically use a high quality finish to make it look like a solid piece of furniture. These cabinets do not require any sort of a supporting structure to sit upon and can easily be moved from one location to another. Freestanding vanity cabinets are typically less expensive than the models that are supported upon the sink because of the cost of construction materials. It is possible to find freestanding cabinets that use multiple shelves or drawers in various areas for storage.

Vanity cabinets for vessel sinks can be found in many different styles, sizes, and colors. Before you decide on a particular model, it is important to examine the style and finish that you would like to have on your bathroom. You may also want to determine how much storage you will need for your cosmetics or other personal items.
