Slim 48" Bathroom Vanities for Shared and Full-Size Bathrooms
There’s a sweet spot between too small and too bulky, and that’s where slim 48" bathroom vanities land. You get the width needed for more counter space, but with a shallower 19-inch depth that helps the room feel more open. It’s a practical pick for shared bathrooms like couples or parent and child setups where you want space for morning routines without giving up room to move.
If you’re deciding between a floating or freestanding vanity, it helps to understand how they work in a space. A floating vanity mounts to the wall, keeps the floor visible, and can make the bathroom feel lighter visually. It’s also easier to clean underneath. A freestanding vanity sits directly on the floor and usually gives you more enclosed storage. A 48 inch vanity comes in both options, so you can choose what suits your layout and how you like to use the room. If you’re leaning toward a floating style, a white oak floating vanity can keep things airy. For something more grounded, a dark walnut bathroom vanity in a freestanding style might be a better fit.
Not sure where to start? A good bathroom vanity buying guide begins with layout. Measure wall space, check plumbing, and think about what you need to store. A narrow vanity like this one still gives you enough room for a single vanity with sink configuration. It’s a size that keeps your options open, whether you’re adding storage, adjusting your layout, or just trying to make better use of the space you already have.
