Way Day is back, and this bathroom editor is searching for a vanity to add rustic charm to my new build bathroom – here are the best pieces I found, starting from just $260
I found the perfect affordable rustic vanity for my currently characterless bathroom – and you might, too


If you're lucky enough to live in a period home, your bathroom is probably filled with beautiful details and nods to its history. However, my new build bathroom is far from characterful. It can best be described as a small white box. Totally uninspiring.
Wayfair was already top of my list as the best place to shop bathroom vanities, but with Wayfair's Way Day sale back and bigger than ever, I'm really taking the opportunity to find a beautiful design at a bargain price. I want something a bit rustic to bring in some much-needed character and vintage charm.
Sound appealing? My hours of searching through Wayfair's bathroom vanity sale have led me to these 6 pieces – and starting from $260, it seems silly not to make the most of the savings.
My favorite rustic bathroom vanities from Wayfair's Way Day sale 2025
Your bathroom vanity ideas instantly become the focal point of your scheme, especially if you have a small bathroom like I do. So, choosing the right design is paramount.
I'm really interested in finding something that feels a bit more rustic and characterful to add a bit more interest and personality to my bathroom, which is a very typical (and frankly boring) new-build design. I am after a more rustic bathroom aesthetic.
Before you start shopping, though, make sure you've measured your bathroom (at least twice) to ensure you know exactly which vanity sizes will fit. There's nothing worse than finding a hidden gem in the sale, only for it not to fit.
Once all the important steps are covered, you can start shopping the Way Day sale. There's a lot to look through, so I've found my 6 top buys that I know will bring the perfect amount of rustic charm to my bathroom, and perhaps yours too.

Size: height 33.67", width 24", depth 18.25"
The vintage style of this vanity instantly caught my eye. I love the darker wood tone paired with the lighter cane detail on the doors – it's a truly timeless design. It's the perfect size for my bathroom, which is on the smaller side, and has that rustic charm I was looking for. The footed detail also gives it a more freestanding look, something that is not only on trend, but will help to give the illusion of more space. And with a saving of $407, it's an absolute steal.
Size: height 34", width 30", depth 22"
This rich, smoke gray vanity, made from solid wood and wood veneer, instantly caught my eye while searching for a rustic vanity for my bathroom. It's moody yet feels really timeless. I know a lot of people appreciate drawer storage over cabinet storage, and this design features plenty of deep storage. Unlike the majority of the bathroom vanities in the Way Day sale, this design features a blue limestone countertop, which brings a deeper, more visually interesting finish to any space.
Size: height 34.5", width 48.5", depth 22"
Time for my wildcard vanity. This is a more luxurious option, but if I had a larger bathroom that could accommodate the size, it would be at the top of my wish list. I'm loving the fluted finishes that are cropping up in kitchen and bathroom furniture at the moment, and I think this vanity nails the trend. Paired with the curvaceous profile and the gorgeous marble countertop, it's a worthy investment, especially while it has just shy of $2000 off the original price.
Size: height 34", width 24", depth 18.13"
As you can probably tell from my selection of Way Day vanities, I'm a big fan of a wooden vanity, especially to bring in warmth and rustic charm. However, not everyone has the same style, so a white vanity like this design is a great alternative. While it's still quite minimal, the classic paneling on the doors and the curved legs have a more traditional feel than other contemporary designs. The white has the biggest discount of 58%, but it also comes in antique coffee and gray.
Size: height 33", width 24.5", depth 18.5"
There are different ways to bring rustic style into your bathroom – this vanity is a great choice if you prefer a more contemporary take on the style. The caning on the doors still brings in that more rustic texture, but the curved profile, gold hardware, and dark finish instantly gives the piece a more modern feel. What's great about this design is that it also comes in white and a light wood tone, as well as the choice between a white or black basin. Plus, it's currently 64% off!
Size: height 38", width 60", depth 22"
If you're shopping for a vanity to go in a large bathroom or ensuite, this design is perfect for introducing a more rustic feature. I love the textural finish of the wood paired with the subtle paneled design. There's plenty of storage too, with a cabinet beneath each sink and two drawers in the middle. The white counter instantly brightens the whole design, perfect for all design styles. I only need a single vanity, but I think this brings in the right amount of rustic style to a larger new build bathroom.
This is your sign to snag a bargain while Wayfair's biggest sale is still live. There are some great options here to suit every size and space, but there are plenty more to consider – the filtering options here are some of the best around.
If you're less concerned with buying a vanity in the sale and would prefer a wider selection, my edit of the best places to buy bathroom vanities features affordable options from the likes of Wayfair and Lowe's, as well as more luxurious vanities from Anthropologie and Pottery Barn.
