Just because it's standard size or smaller than that - doesn't mean you need to have standard features! Make it feel larger with a floating vanity.

Make it stand out with a contrast in color, or an open shelf. Keep the pulls simple so it doesn't clutter up the room. You can find some great choices at tradewinds.com that give it a more modern feel.

Or tie it in with a simple color that fits nicely with the overall theme. Why skimp on a room we wake up to every morning?
