Double Sink Vanity in Los Angeles

You share a bathroom with someone every morning. You know the drill. One person is at the mirror while the other is waiting. There’s never enough counter space. Toothbrushes are everywhere. And that single sink is starting to feel like a design mistake.

A double sink vanity fixes all of that. It’s one of the most requested upgrades we install at JSN Construction across Los Angeles and for good reason. It makes your bathroom more functional, more stylish, and more valuable all at once.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything: the styles available, the cost to remodel bathroom spaces in LA, what goes into a master bathroom remodel, and how to get the most out of your space whether it’s spacious or tight. We serve homeowners across Los Angeles, Pasadena, Studio City, Burbank, and beyond, so all of this is built around what actually works in this city.

Let’s get into it.

What Is a Double Sink Vanity and Do You Actually Need One?

A double sink vanity is a bathroom vanity unit with two separate sinks side by side, typically set into a shared countertop and vanity cabinet. Standard sizes run from 60 inches wide up to 84 or 96 inches, depending on your layout.

Do you need one? Not everyone does. Here’s a simple way to think about it:

• If two or more people share a bathroom on the same morning schedule, a double sink vanity is almost always worth it.
• If the bathroom is used by one person or only occasionally by guests, a single sink works fine.
• If you’re remodeling a master bathroom, a double sink is one of the first things buyers notice and it adds real resale value.

In our experience working on bathrooms across Los Angeles from Silver Lake bungalows to master baths in Pasadena the double sink is the upgrade homeowners wish they had done sooner.

Double Sink Vanity Styles for Los Angeles Homes

Not every vanity fits every bathroom. Here are the most popular styles we install in Los Angeles, along with what makes each one work.

Modern Floating Vanity

The floating vanity (also called a wall-mounted vanity) is the most requested style right now in LA. It mounts directly to the wall with no legs touching the floor, which makes the bathroom feel larger and easier to clean. It’s a great fit for contemporary homes in areas like Silver Lake, Echo Park, and Mar Vista.

Installation does require wall anchoring into studs. In older Los Angeles homes, we always check for proper structural support and plumbing accessibility before mounting. This matters even more here in Southern California, where wall-mounted fixtures need to be secured properly given seismic activity.

Shaker Style Vanity

The shaker style vanity is timeless. Clean lines, recessed panel doors, and solid construction make it work in everything from Craftsman homes in Pasadena to newer builds in the San Fernando Valley. It’s equally at home in a classic white finish or a warm wood tone. Pair it with quartz countertops and brushed brass hardware for a clean, current look.

Mid Century Style Bathroom Vanity

The mid century style bathroom vanity is having a major moment in LA. This city has more mid-century homes than almost anywhere in the country, and these vanities are designed to match that architectural language perfectly. Think tapered legs, walnut wood tones, warm brass or matte black hardware, and clean horizontal lines. Locally crafted options in American walnut are available, and they look stunning in homes from Atwater Village to Culver City.

Antique Style Bathroom Vanity

The antique style bathroom vanity is a great fit for Spanish-style homes, Craftsman bungalows, and traditional interiors throughout Los Angeles. These vanities typically feature raised panel doors, ornate hardware, and furniture-style legs. They bring warmth and character to a bathroom that might otherwise feel too minimal. We’ve installed beautiful pieces like this in homes in Hancock Park and Los Feliz that perfectly match the original architecture.

Wall-Mounted Vanity vs. Freestanding: A Quick Comparison

Cost to Remodel Bathroom in Los Angeles (2025 Breakdown)

Let’s be direct about money. The cost to remodel bathroom spaces in Los Angeles runs higher than the national average, typically 25 to 40% more due to LA’s labor rates, permit requirements, and California energy code compliance.

Here’s a realistic picture of what you’ll pay in 2025:

Budget Bathroom Remodel: $20,000 to $28,000 Basic fixtures, prefab cabinets, porcelain tile, no layout changes. The vanity, shower, and toilet stay in their existing locations. Good results at a controlled cost.

Mid-Range Bathroom Remodel: $28,000 to $45,000 Semi-custom or custom vanity, quartz countertop, updated plumbing fixtures, tile shower, new flooring, and updated modern bathroom light fixtures. This is the most common range for a complete bathroom remodel in LA.

High-End / Luxury Remodel: $45,000 to $80,000 and up Custom cabinetry, natural stone surfaces, frameless glass shower doors, freestanding tub, rain shower head, heated floors, and premium fixtures throughout. Common in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, and Studio City.

Master Bathroom Remodel Cost

The master bathroom remodel cost sits at the higher end of these ranges. A standard master bath in LA typically runs $40,000 to $70,000 for a well-executed renovation. Per square foot, expect to pay $200 to $600 depending on finishes and complexity.

What drives the master bathroom remodel cost up:

• Adding a double sink vanity where only one sink existed (requires new plumbing rough-in)
• Installing frameless glass shower doors on a walk-in shower
• Changing the layout, moving the toilet, shower, or tub
• Custom cabinetry versus pre-made units
• Heated tile floors (popular in master baths across Pasadena and Woodland Hills)
• Freestanding tub installation

What can bring it down:

• Keeping the layout exactly as-is this avoids rerouting plumbing and electrical
• Choosing semi-custom cabinets over fully custom
• Using large-format porcelain tile instead of natural stone
• Keeping the same shower footprint with new tile and a new door

Double Sink Vanity Installation Cost

Just for the vanity itself, here’s what to expect:

• Double sink vanity unit (materials only): $600 to $3,000 and up, depending on style and finish
• Labor for installation: $300 to $700 for a standard installation
• Plumbing rough-in for second sink (if adding new): $500 to $2,000, depending on existing plumbing location
• Quartz or stone countertop: Typically priced per square foot, often $800 to $2,500 for a standard double vanity top

Plan for the full range. Older homes in Los Angeles frequently have outdated plumbing that needs updating once the walls open up.

Permits for Bathroom Remodeling in LA

Nearly every complete bathroom remodel in Los Angeles requires permits through LADBS or your local city building department. Any project involving plumbing changes, electrical work, or structural modifications needs proper permits. Cosmetic updates like swapping out fixtures without moving them may qualify for express permits or none at all.

Permit costs in LA typically run $500 to $2,000 for most bathroom remodels. We handle all permit applications at JSN Construction. You don’t need to worry about city paperwork or building department coordination we do that for you.

Frameless Glass Shower Doors: Worth the Investment?

Yes if your bathroom is the right fit. Frameless glass shower doors are one of the most popular upgrades we install in Los Angeles bathrooms, and here’s why homeowners love them:

• They make any bathroom feel larger and more open
• They’re easier to clean than framed doors with metal tracks
• They add a clean, hotel-quality look
• They increase perceived value when selling

Frameless glass shower doors typically cost $900 to $2,400 for a standard opening, using 3/8″ to 1/2″ thick tempered glass. Larger openings or specialty glass (frosted, bronze tint, rain texture) push the cost higher.

They work best in bathrooms with a dedicated walk-in shower. We’ve installed them in mid-century homes in Silverlake and contemporary master baths in Sherman Oaks. The difference before and after is dramatic.

Modern Bathroom Light Fixtures: Get the Layering Right

Most bathrooms in Los Angeles have a single vanity light bar above the mirror. That’s fine but it leaves shadows on your face, misses the shower entirely, and makes the room feel flat.

Modern bathroom light fixtures done right involve three layers:

Task lighting: Sconces on either side of the mirror, at eye level, eliminate shadows and give the most flattering light. This is especially important at a double sink vanity where two people need clear, even light.

Ambient lighting: Recessed ceiling lights or a flush ceiling fixture provide general illumination throughout the room.

Accent lighting: Under-cabinet or toe-kick LED strips add depth and warmth, especially effective below a floating double sink vanity.

Popular finishes right now in Los Angeles bathrooms include matte black, brushed brass, and warm brushed nickel. These coordinate well with both the mid century style bathroom vanity and contemporary floating designs.

California’s Title 24 energy code requires energy-efficient lighting in remodeled bathrooms meaning LED fixtures are the standard. This is actually good news, because today’s LED options look beautiful and last much longer.

Bathroom Storage Solutions That Actually Work

Storage is one of the top complaints we hear from homeowners before a remodel. A beautiful double sink vanity helps but it’s only part of the answer. Here are the bathroom storage solutions we use most in LA bathrooms:

Deep drawer stacks: Instead of two-door cabinets, deep pull-out drawers below each sink give you far better access and organization. Soft-close hardware makes them feel high-end.

Pull-out organizers: Drawer inserts for hair tools, toiletries, and makeup keep the space clutter-free.

Medicine cabinets with mirror fronts: Recessed medicine cabinets use zero floor or counter space and provide significant storage. They’re especially useful in bathrooms where you want to keep the double sink vanity surface clean.

Floating shelves: Open shelves above the toilet or on an empty wall work well in bathrooms where you want accessible storage without adding bulk.

Linen tower cabinet: A tall, narrow cabinet alongside the double sink vanity gives you towel and linen storage that keeps everything close and organized.

Shower niches: Built into the shower wall during the tile phase, niches eliminate the need for shower caddies and keep bottles off the floor.

In small Los Angeles bathrooms, especially in older bungalows and condos, bathroom storage solutions like vertical cabinetry and recessed niches make a meaningful difference in how the space feels and functions.

Small Bathroom Layout Plans: Making It Work in LA

Not every home in Los Angeles has a sprawling master suite. Plenty of bungalows in Highland Park, Silver Lake, and Atwater Village have tight bathrooms that haven’t been touched in decades. A smart small bathroom layout plan can make that room feel completely different.

Here’s what works:

Keep the layout. Moving plumbing adds significant cost often $2,000 to $5,000 or more in additional labor and permits. In a small bathroom, keeping fixtures where they are and focusing on finishes and storage gives you the best result per dollar spent.

Go vertical. Tall vanity towers, recessed medicine cabinets, and stacked shelving use wall space instead of floor space.

Use large-format tile. Fewer grout lines make a small bathroom feel cleaner and larger. A 12×24 or 24×24 tile on both the floor and lower walls works especially well.

Choose a compact double vanity. A 48-inch double sink vanity can fit in bathrooms where a standard 60-inch one won’t. We’ve done this in Burbank and West Hollywood bathrooms with tight footprints, and the results work beautifully.

Install a frameless glass shower door. Compared to a shower curtain, a clear glass door makes the room feel twice as large. It’s one of the highest-impact changes in a small bathroom.

Maximize natural light. In some small bathroom layout plans, we’ve added a skylight or replaced a solid exterior door with a frosted glass door to bring in natural light without sacrificing privacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size double sink vanity do I need?

A double sink vanity typically requires at least 60 inches of width to accommodate two sinks comfortably. Most master bathrooms in Los Angeles fit a 60 to 72-inch vanity with ease. Tighter spaces can work with a 48-inch double vanity if the sinks are compact. We measure your space carefully before recommending anything.

How much does a complete bathroom remodel cost in Los Angeles?

The cost to remodel bathroom spaces in LA typically ranges from $20,000 for a basic update to $80,000 and above for a full luxury master bathroom. Most mid-range complete bathroom remodels in Los Angeles run $28,000 to $45,000. The biggest cost factors are layout changes, fixture quality, and custom versus pre-made cabinetry.

What is the master bathroom remodel cost in Los Angeles?

The master bathroom remodel cost in Los Angeles typically runs $40,000 to $70,000 for a well-executed renovation. Projects with a double sink vanity, frameless glass shower doors, custom tile, and premium fixtures can exceed $80,000. Per square foot, expect $200 to $600, depending on finish level.

Do I need a permit to install a double sink vanity in Los Angeles?

Adding a second sink to an existing single-sink vanity requires moving or adding plumbing, which triggers a permit requirement in Los Angeles. Replacing a double sink vanity in the same location without plumbing changes may not require a permit, depending on your city. JSN Construction evaluates this at your consultation and handles all permitting.

What is the difference between frameless and framed shower doors?

Frameless glass shower doors use thick tempered glass (3/8″ to 1/2″) with minimal metal hardware. Framed doors use thinner glass within a full metal frame. Frameless doors look cleaner and are easier to maintain because there are no metal tracks to collect mildew. They cost more, typically $900 to $2,400 for standard frameless versus $400 to $800 for framed, but the visual difference is significant.

What bathroom vanity style works best in a Los Angeles home?

It depends on your home’s architecture. The mid-century style bathroom vanity is a natural fit for LA’s many mid-century properties. The shaker style works in Craftsman, contemporary, and transitional bathrooms. The antique style bathroom vanity suits Spanish-style and traditional homes. Floating modern vanities work well in new construction and renovated contemporary spaces. We help every client find the right fit at their in-home consultation.

How long does a bathroom remodel take in Los Angeles?

A standard bathroom remodel in Los Angeles takes 4 to 8 weeks of construction. Permitting adds 4 to 10 weeks before work begins, depending on scope and your local building department. Budget and cosmetic updates with no layout changes can sometimes be completed in 3 to 4 weeks. We give you a realistic timeline at the start of every project and we stick to it.
