Fluted Vanities

Composed of concave grooves that dip inward, fluting creates a hollowed-out effect that evokes movement and fluidity, its “dips” casting shadows that bring undeniable depth to a space. Dating back centuries, fluted architecture can be found in Greek and Roman columns and walls—a sleek choice with a timeless presence.

Ribbed Vanities

Defined by flat planks or “ribs” placed parallel to one another, a ribbed texture creates an eye-catching striped effect through material and shadow rather than two-dimensional color—a clean, sophisticated option that’s also referred to as a slatted texture.

Inlaid Vanities

Inlaying wood offers an array of distinct placement options, all creating an intriguing juxtaposition of organic grain patterns with a clean, precision-cut pattern. From herringbone and chevron to basket-woven and checkered, these timeless inlays create playful movement while putting a spotlight on craftsmanship.

Reeded Vanities

Featuring smoothly arched grooves or ridges that raise outward, reeding creates a scalloped effect that complements playful styles from maximalist to boho to organic modern. Entering the scene in the Art Deco era, reeding was used to embellish interiors from glass panels to trim work to furniture—a more modern option with a glamorous nod.

Dentil Molded Vanities

Derived from dentes (Latin for teeth), dentil molding originated in ancient Greece and Rome, adorning neoclassical columns and roof lines as an architectural crown. The technique features evenly spaced square blocks thought to resemble a row of teeth—a truly classic, refined option with rich historical significance.
