When it comes to remodeling your bathroom, deciding what to upgrade first can be overwhelming. But when it comes to maximizing impact, day-to-day convenience, and return on investment, designers say there’s only one place to begin.

Double sink vanities are officially on the rise, and between their luxurious look and practical features, it’s easy to see why they’re growing in popularity.

Our experts are here to spill on some of the biggest lifestyle and design benefits of incorporating double sinks into your bathroom space.

Easier Morning Routines

Whether you’re sharing a bathroom with a significant other or a sibling, the getting-ready rush every morning can feel chaotic—one person needs the sink to brush their teeth, the other needs to tackle their skincare regime, and there’s only one basin available for both tasks.

“Having a vanity with more than one sink can save lots of time when there are multiple family members using it,” designer Emily LaMarque adds.

Solving this daily stress point is where one of the biggest benefits of installing a double sink comes in.

“Double sink vanities help you carve out personal space in a shared world— with your own sink, your own soap, and no rogue beard trimmings where they shouldn’t be,” interior designer Ashlie Adam says.

More Countertop and Storage Space

Extending out your vanity unit to make room for double sinks can also mean having twice as much countertop area and under-sink cabinetry.

LaMarque believes having more breathing room and capacity for storing toiletries, linens, and cleaning supplies is something any bathroom in your home can benefit from—not just the one in the primary bedroom.

“These days, you will most often see double sinks on the vanity in the primary bathroom, however, some homeowners will add double sinks in their kids’ or guest bathrooms as well,” she says. “Everyone enjoys the luxury of being able to spread out at their own sink and vanity.”

Having extra countertop space means everyday essentials can stay within easy reach without feeling crowded. Plus, having additional storage space under each sink makes the process of bathroom organization, decluttering, and the weekly cleaning routine much easier to navigate.

A Luxurious, Spa-Like Feel

As we’ve seen over the past few years, the spa-style sanctuary bathroom has made the step from trendy to timeless; having a double sink vanity is a guaranteed way to bring a soothing, harmonious, and expensive-feeling hotel vibe to your space.

“On a stylistic note, double sinks provide symmetry and balance, making a room feel more expansive and welcoming,” interior designer Justin Miller explains.

Bring your luxury bathroom to the next level by incorporating chic materials and finishes in and around your double sink unit—whether it’s through marble countertops, brushed matte fixtures, or curated trays featuring candles and stoneware accessories.

Increased Property Value

Considering converting your space into a short-term rental or selling your home? The benefits of a double sink in the bathroom don’t end when your family’s time in your current residence does.

“Double sinks can absolutely provide a return on investment,” Adam says. “In a competitive market, little luxuries signal value.”

If your home can accommodate a larger family, double sinks could make all the difference in selling at a good price and reasonable time.

“On a lifestyle basis, they offer the convenience of multiple users being able to spend time in their routines at the same time,” Miller adds. “This can be particularly helpful in busy homes, or in for properties targeting a luxury image.”

To create maximum resale value and appeal, make sure to surround your new double sinks with as much countertop space as possible, select materials and paint that integrate the vanity unit into your bathroom’s aesthetic, and incorporate plenty of under-unit storage.
