If you’ve chosen a vanity, you’ll need to find a coordinating vanity top to complete the design. In general, there are two paths to choose a single top with a counter and an integrated lavatory or choose a countertop and a separate under-mount, drop-in or vessel lavatory.
Your lavatory faucet will determine the number of holes, if any, drilled into the vanity top or countertop. You will want to select a vanity top or countertop that is predrilled with the correct number of holes (zero, one or three) to accommodate your faucet choice.

Vanity tops come in several different materials. The number of material options increases if you decide to choose to combine a separate countertop and sink. Colors match perfectly across all bathroom fixtures, regardless of material.

Most vanities accommodate a single sink that is either seamlessly integrated into the vanity, fitted to a cutout in the countertop, or mounted on top of a solid countertop.
However, vanities that are 60” or more can be configured to hold two sinks for a master bathroom setting.
Integrated tops and sinks offer a seamless, easy-to-clean all-in-one solution for your space. Available with one or two basins in a range of sizes and complementary colors.
A countertop with a cutout is another option for your vanity. Selecting this option allows you to choose from a wide range of under-mount and drop-in sink designs and you may mix and match the color of your sink and countertop. Available with one or two basins in a range of sizes and complementary colors.
The final option for your vanity and sink combination is a solid countertop paired with a vessel-style sink. A vessel-style sink rests on the countertop and makes more of a statement. If the countertop and vanity are large enough, two vessel-style sinks are also an option.
