How High Should a Bathroom Vanity Be?
-
The Standard Size
-
For some time, 29 inches to 34 inches has been the industry standard for bathroom vanity height. Most pre-made vanities are around 30 inches in height.

Room for Variation
-
Although the 29 inches to 34 inches is indeed the standard, many people--especially those who are taller--find the standard height a bit low and often opt for a higher vanity of 34 inches to 42 inches.
Bottom Line
-
Ultimately, while the standard height should be kept in mind, a bathroom vanity should be "sized" to fit the user's comfort level. Since most pre-made vanities are built to the 30-inch standard, however, taller vanities will often need to be custom made, likely resulting in a higher cost and a wait time.
