Discover Your Very Own Bathroom Island

By Grout Medic Denver Staff | 7-1-2025

Usually when you hear the word island at home, you think about your kitchen. But your bathroom deserves a centerpiece too! So hold onto your grout floaties, because today we’re diving into an island of a different kind—the bathroom island. (Yep, you heard us right. Islands aren’t just for kitchens or deserted tropical locations. They’re coming to a bathroom near you.)

At Grout Medic, we see a lot of bathrooms (we’re kind of tile whisperers), and we’re obsessed with this new twist on layout design. So if you’re planning a bathroom renovation, read on for our interesting guide to bathroom island ideas that might just change your soak game forever.

What is a Bathroom Island?

Let’s break it down.

A bathroom island is a freestanding vanity or functional centerpiece placed in the middle of a large bathroom. It adds storage, style, and a whole lotta “whoa, I didn’t know you could do that in a bathroom!”

Think of it as the dramatic focal point your daily routine didn’t know it needed.

Bathroom Island Ideas That’ll Make You Say “Ooh!”

Vanity Island with Double Sinks

Tired of elbowing your partner while brushing your teeth? A central vanity with double sinks can give you space and style. Plus, you can both pretend you’re in a fancy hotel every morning.

Towel Storage Central

Keep your fluffy white towels front and center with a built-in shelf island. Bonus points if you roll them spa-style and pretend you're a guest in your own home.

Makeup Station Dreamboat

Get yourself a built-in stool, a little mirror, and boom—your bathroom island becomes your own personal glam zone. No more leaning into awkward wall mirrors or battling for counter space.

Sink-Free Surface for Zen Vibes

Some folks skip the plumbing and just go full feng shui. A marble-topped island with a plant, a candle, and a neatly folded robe? That’s what we call spa day every day.

Hidden Laundry Hamper Island

Functional and sneaky? Yes, please. Add drawers or cabinets to stash laundry baskets inside your island. Less mess, more chill.

The Grouty Details: Things to Consider

Now before you call us to plop a vanity in the middle of your bathroom like a bold design renegade, consider a few things:

• Size Matters – You’ll need a big bathroom for an island to make sense. We're talking luxury-level square footage. Otherwise, you’ll be bruising your shins every time you grab a towel.
• Plumbing Plans – Want a sink in your island? That means you need to run plumbing to the center of your bathroom. It's doable, but definitely a job for the pros (and we know exactly which grout-obsessed folks can help finish the job beautifully—hint: it's us).
• Tile Around It – The tile needs to flow around your island smoothly—no choppy cuts or weird seams. That’s where Grout Medic shines. We make sure your tile and grout look flawless from every angle. Like, Instagram-ready flawless.

Let Grout Medic Make It Shine

Whether your dream bathroom island involves quartz countertops, hidden storage, or a place to arrange your 47-step skincare routine—we’re here to make sure the foundation (aka your tile and grout) holds up to all that fabulousness.

We help with:

• ✔ Tile & grout repairs before your big bathroom makeover
• ✔ Regrouting or color-matching for that “brand-new bathroom” look
