A 48-inch double sink bathroom vanity is the smallest practical way to get two sinks — a clever solution when you want a shared vanity but don’t have room for a 60". Here’s how to make a 48" double work. (See sizing in our buying guide.)
The compact double sink
At 48 inches, two basins sit close together with compact counter between them — perfect for couples in a mid-size bathroom who value two sinks over expansive counter space. It’s the entry point to double-sink living.
48" double vs 48" single
Choose the double if two people get ready at once and you can live with less counter; choose the single if you’d rather have one basin and lots of usable surface. Both come in solid teak and white oak.
Tips for a 48" double
- Use compact, wall-mounted or single-hole faucets to save counter space
- Add a tall mirror cabinet for storage you can’t fit on the counter
- Pick a light finish to keep a busy bathroom feeling open
Frequently asked questions
Can a 48-inch vanity have two sinks?
Yes — 48 inches is the smallest width that comfortably fits a double sink. The basins sit closer together than on a 60" model, with compact counter space between them.
Is a 48-inch double sink vanity too small?
It’s the practical minimum for two sinks. If you frequently need more counter space between basins, consider a 60" double instead; if space is tight, a 48" double is a smart compromise.
