Slim 36" Bathroom Vanities Designed for Small and Shared Spaces
If you’re working with a small bathroom but still want a bit more surface space, slim 36" bathroom vanities are a good middle ground. The depth is trimmed down to 19 inches, compared to the standard 22 inches, which helps in smaller floor plans, but the width still gives you enough room for daily use. This size works well in powder rooms, guest baths, or smaller full bathrooms where space is limited but still functional.
Not sure which vanity size will work best in your space? It usually comes down to layout. A 36 inch vanity is common in bathrooms because it balances space and function without feeling oversized. If your plumbing isn’t centered or you’re working around a wall or door, a left side sink bathroom vanity or right side sink vanity can help make better use of the countertop. An offset sink vanity gives you more usable surface and avoids conflicts with nearby fixtures. It’s also worth checking that any doors or drawers can open fully without hitting anything.
Most people lean toward simple designs that work with what they already have. That might be a single sink vanity in a wood finish or something with a more minimal look. You’ll also see a lot of modern vanities and transitional bathroom vanities in this size because they’re easy to work with. If you’re short on storage, adding a floating shelf or wall cabinet nearby usually does the trick.
