Living room: check. Bedroom: check. Bathroom: Still searching for the perfect mid-century look? Sleek, geometric decor and natural wood tones keep mid-century modern from going out of style, and they're easier to incorporate into your bathroom than you might expect. The minimalist legs, warm oak hues, and rattan accents of the Swiss Madison Classe Vanity, which is available at Home Depot, pack a lot of mid-century modern charm into a compact package. Plus, this freestanding vanity comes with mounting hardware, making assembly and installation straightforward.
The Swiss Madison vanity features a white ceramic single sink that sits atop a cabinet made out of medium-density fiberboard. Its two doors combine the modern convenience of soft-close hinges with the vintage charm of rattan panels. The 9-inch legs allow plenty of room to clean underneath while still offering storage space inside the cabinet. Reviewers praise the vanity's appearance and clear instructions. "Easy to level and it was squared up," writes one reviewer. "The directions were surprisingly good for put together furniture, but if you have a socket wrench, that will help for tightening the legs."
Choosing a Swiss Madison Classe vanity for a mid-century makeover
Even though the Swiss Madison Classe vanity requires assembly, reviewers were mostly satisfied with how quickly and easily it came together. Unlike upgrading your bathroom by installing a floating vanity, freestanding vanities are relatively simple to install yourself since they don't require wall stud anchors or plumbing fixes. Other easy DIY upgrades to complement this mid-century modern vanity include hanging up a minimalist brass-framed wall mirror and installing a geometric faucet like the MOEN Genta, also available at Home Depot. Take the look even further by adding a tile backsplash in mint green, pastel pink, or bold jewel tones.
If the vanity's warm oak shade isn't right for you, there are other options available. Choose from single or double sinks, white or black ceramic, and six unique wood finishes, though not all color combinations are available in all sizes. Make sure you choose the appropriate vanity configuration for your faucet, too, since it's available in 1-hole and 3-hole configurations. For example, this particular vanity can only be used with a single-hole faucet. The sink drain, drain trap, and faucet are also sold separately.
