60 Inch Bathroom Vanity Ideas

9 min read

Sixty inches is the width where a bathroom vanity stops being a compromise. It is wide enough for two sinks without crowding them, wide enough for a single sink with genuinely usable counter on both sides, and it still fits the standard alcove in most mid-century and later American homes. It is the most-requested size we ship, and it is also the size with the most decisions attached to it.

Below are nineteen 60-inch vanities currently in stock, one from each collection we carry, so you can see how differently the same width reads depending on finish, door style, and whether you put one sink on it or two. After the gallery there is a short section on the single-versus-double decision, which is the one most people get wrong.

One thing to check before you shop

Several of the vanities below are listed as a Vanity Cabinet rather than a Vanity. That is not a naming quirk. A cabinet ships without a countertop, which lets you choose your own stone and sink configuration later, and it means the price you see is not the finished price. A vanity listed without "Cabinet" includes its top. Both are legitimate ways to buy; just know which one you are looking at before you compare two numbers.

The second thing worth measuring twice is your plumbing. A 60-inch cabinet gives you room to move a drain a few inches, but a double-sink layout fixes both drains near the ends, and if your existing rough-in sits dead center you may be paying a plumber to move it.

1. Brittany 60" Double Vanity Cabinet, Pecan

Brittany is the broadest collection we stock, and the pecan finish is why. It is a mid-warmth brown that reads as wood rather than as a stain color, which makes it forgiving against both cream and gray tile. The double configuration puts a bank of drawers dead center, so the storage you actually reach for daily is between the two sinks rather than behind a door.

2. Breckenridge 60" Double Vanity, Bright White

Breckenridge 60-inch double vanity in bright white with shaker-style doors

Bright white is the safest color in a bathroom and the hardest to keep looking clean, and Breckenridge handles the second part better than most because the door profile is shallow. Fewer deep grooves means fewer places for toothpaste to collect. This one ships with its top, so the listed price is the price.

3. Brookfield 60" Double Vanity, Pecan

Brookfield 60-inch double vanity in pecan with traditional detailing

Brookfield in the same pecan as the Brittany above, and worth comparing side by side, the finish is shared but the door framing is heavier, which pushes it toward traditional where Brittany sits closer to transitional. If you have crown molding elsewhere in the house, this is the one that will look like it belongs.

4. Bristol 60" Single Vanity, Whitewashed Walnut

Bristol 60-inch single vanity in whitewashed walnut with open lower shelf

A 60-inch single is an underrated layout. You get one sink and roughly four feet of uninterrupted counter, which is more usable space for getting ready than two sinks and two small margins. Whitewashed walnut keeps the grain visible while reading almost as a neutral, so it works in a room that is otherwise all white.

5. Chicago 60" Double Vanity, Glossy White

Chicago 60-inch double vanity in glossy white with flat slab doors

Flat slab doors and a high-gloss lacquer make this the most contemporary 60-inch in the lineup. Gloss bounces light, which matters in an interior bathroom with no window. The trade-off is that gloss shows fingerprints near the pulls, so plan on hardware you are happy to touch.

6. Lorelai 60" Double Vanity, Black Onyx

Lorelai 60-inch double vanity in black onyx

Black anchors a room the way nothing else does, and it hides water marks around the handles that would show on white within a week. The thing to check is light: black absorbs it, so in a small or north-facing bathroom this needs good overhead lighting or it will feel heavy rather than dramatic.

7. Hudson 60" Double Vanity Cabinet, Honey Oak

Hudson 60-inch double vanity cabinet in honey oak

Honey oak is the warmest wood tone we carry and the one that most clearly reads as wood rather than as a finish. Hudson's proportions are squarer than Laurent's below, which suits a room with a lower ceiling.

8. Laurent 60" Double Vanity Cabinet, Honey Oak

Laurent 60-inch double vanity cabinet in honey oak with slim legs

Same honey oak as the Hudson, different stance. Laurent sits on visible legs, which lifts the whole piece off the floor and shows more tile. In a small bathroom that visual gap is worth more than the storage you give up underneath.

9. Myrrin 60" Double Vanity, Carbon Oak

Myrrin 60-inch double vanity in carbon oak, a dark gray wood finish

Carbon oak splits the difference between black and wood: you get the grain and the depth without the weight of a true black. It is the easiest dark finish to live with if you are nervous about committing to black onyx.

10. Addison 60" Double Vanity Cabinet, Glossy White

Addison 60-inch double vanity cabinet in glossy white

Addison is the more decorated take on glossy white. Where Chicago is a flat slab, this carries a framed door. If you want the brightness of gloss in a room that is otherwise traditional, this is the bridge.

11. Amberly 60" Double Vanity Cabinet, Mid-Century Walnut

Amberly 60-inch double vanity cabinet in mid-century walnut with tapered legs

The clearest mid-century piece at this width: tapered legs, warm walnut, minimal hardware. It wants brass or matte black pulls and will look wrong with chrome.

12. Portland 60" Double Vanity Cabinet, Whitewashed Walnut

Portland 60-inch double vanity cabinet in whitewashed walnut

Whitewashed walnut again, this time on a squarer, more utilitarian frame. Portland is the one to pick if you want wood tone without any period reference at all.

13. Malibu 60" Single Vanity Cabinet, Amber Birch

Malibu 60-inch single vanity cabinet in amber birch

Amber birch is lighter and yellower than the oaks above, which makes it the most coastal-reading finish we stock. As a 60-inch single it leaves a long clear run of counter, good for a guest bathroom that doubles as the one people actually get ready in.

14. Columbia 59" Double Vanity Cabinet, Latte Oak

Columbia 59-inch double vanity cabinet in latte oak with no hardware

This one ships with no hardware, by design, because the doors are push-to-open. If you like a completely uninterrupted front, that is the appeal; if you have children, push latches get sticky faster than pulls do. At 59 inches it fits a 60-inch opening with a little breathing room.

15. Athens 60" Single Vanity Cabinet, Glossy White

Athens 60-inch single vanity cabinet in glossy white

A glossy white single at 60 inches is a specific choice and a good one for a primary bathroom where only one person is ever at the sink. All that counter on one side becomes real working space instead of a second basin nobody uses.

16. Kensington 59.5" Double Sink Vanity, Metal Gray

Kensington 59.5-inch double sink vanity in metal gray with brushed nickel hardware

Metal gray is cooler than the carbon oak at number nine: less wood, more pigment. It pairs naturally with the brushed nickel it ships with, and it is the gray to choose if your tile is also cool-toned. Warm cream tile against a cool gray vanity reads as a mismatch rather than a neutral.

17. London 59.5" Double Sink Vanity, Desert Oak

London 59.5-inch double sink vanity in desert oak with matte black hardware

Desert oak with matte black hardware is about as current as a bathroom gets without dating itself in three years. This arrives as a complete vanity rather than a cabinet, so sinks and top are included.

18. Windsor 59.5" Double Sink Vanity, Navy Blue

Windsor 59.5-inch double sink vanity in navy blue with brushed gold hardware

Navy behaves like a neutral in a bathroom. It takes brass and chrome equally well and hides marks the way white cannot. The brushed gold on this one is the warmer of the two options and is what makes it read as considered rather than merely blue.

19. Linear 59" Double Vanity, Glossy White

Linear 59-inch double vanity in glossy white with a minimal horizontal profile

The most minimal piece here. Linear is all horizontal lines and no ornament, which makes it the natural partner for a large-format tile and a frameless mirror.

Single or double at 60 inches?

This is the decision people most often regret, and the honest answer is that two sinks are worth less than they sound and more than they cost you in counter.

Two basins at 60 inches leaves roughly 14 to 16 inches of clear counter at each end and almost nothing between them. That is enough for a soap dish and a toothbrush cup. It is not enough to lay out a hair dryer, a makeup bag, and a shaving kit at the same time. A single sink at the same width gives you a continuous run of around 40 inches, which is genuinely usable.

Pick two sinks if two people are at the vanity at the same time on a weekday morning. That is the only scenario where it wins. If you are staggered by even fifteen minutes, or if the second sink is really about resale, a single at 60 inches will serve you better every day you live there. Resale value tracks the quality of the room far more than the number of basins in it.

Common questions about 60-inch vanities

Will a 60-inch vanity fit a 60-inch opening?

Usually, but not always, and you should not assume it. Several vanities at this size are built at 59 or 59.5 inches precisely so they clear a 60-inch alcove. A true 60-inch unit in a 60-inch opening leaves zero tolerance for walls that are not plumb, and bathroom walls rarely are. Measure at the floor, at counter height, and at the back. If those three numbers differ, use the smallest.

What countertop overhang should I expect?

A top is typically an inch or so wider and deeper than the cabinet beneath it, so a 60-inch cabinet usually carries a 61-inch top. If your opening is exactly 60 inches, that overhang is the thing that will stop the piece going in. This is the single most common measuring mistake at this size.

Do I need two drains for a double vanity?

Yes, and that is the real cost of going double. Two basins need two drains and two sets of supply lines. If your bathroom was plumbed for one sink, budget for a plumber, the vanity price is not the project price.

Can I buy the cabinet now and the top later?

Yes. Any listing above with "Cabinet" in the name ships without a top, which is how most people pair a cabinet with a specific stone. Just confirm the top you choose matches the cabinet's depth as well as its width.

Still deciding?

If you are early in the process, how to choose a bathroom vanity runs the decisions in the order that avoids the expensive mistakes, starting with the three measurements people skip. For the full detail on sizes, materials, countertops and installation, see the bathroom vanity buying guide.
