The modern person wants a contemporary vanity that is considerate of their environment.  In other words, they want something that is eco- friendly.  The vanity is crafted of metals and woods that will not harm the environment.  They blend well with the environment and reflect the desire of the owner.  Teak wood is often the wood of choice.  It is light yet strong and if tossed out in a redecorate, it will decompose back to the earth.

The contemporary vanity sits not only in the bathroom but the bedroom and kitchen as well.  The bedroom might contain a quite simple vanity with storage.  It could be one with a mirror and stool.  Whatever the need there is a version to fill it.  The kitchen is not to be left out.  Along with the standard cabinets the design could include a separate contemporary vanity for accent as a sideboard or buffet.

One very interesting look is the clear glass shelf vanity.  The glass shelf is attached to the wall.  The sink is a vessel sink and all the faucet and pipes are visible.  Stored below the vanity shelf could be a bench or a separate vanity with storage or display area.  The vanity appears as if it is floating above the object below.  This style makes for easy cleaning.

Contemporary vanities must be easy to care for in order to meet the standards of the modern person.  Today’s person is very busy and does not have hours for the laborious job of cleaning.  Vanities are made of wood, metal or stone.  Because of the finish to the vanity, cleaning can be done with a wet cloth.  No scrubbing or abrasive cleaners required.  The only other cleaning need might be a glass cleaner or polish.

Since the design of the modern contemporary vanity is clean cut, the installation is often without much effort.  Most can be purchased and put together at home.  If you know anything about installing the faucet, you might be able to forgo the middle man altogether.  However, there is always the plumber to come and hook it all up once you get it put together.  The modern person is busy but desires hands on work.  Putting together your own contemporary vanity can be satisfying even if you have to call the plumber.

The contemporary style vanity can add a richness as well as simplicity to your décor.  It is ruled only by your imagination.  Most companies that sell the contemporary vanity have a consultant to help you plan the design.  They may also suggest what would be best for your needs.  If you are planning to redecorate it would improve the final look to consult with one of these experts.   If you are building new, the consultant may be able to help with all of your contemporary vanity needs.
