2. Seating Area at the Vanities - 50% of Parade of Homes Entries by Orange County Home Builders
- 7 of 14 Orange County new home entries, or 50%, had a seating area in the vanity.
- Orange County new home builders have had more requests for inclusion of a "make up" seating area in the Master Bath, between the two sink areas. This is usually placed at a slightly lower height, to allow comfortable use with a standard stool or chair. An open "window seat" style area can also be placed between the vanities, which allows separation of space.
Here's an example of what a seating area / make-up counter looks like in the master bath, from a Stanton Home in the Chapel Hill area:
3. Wrap Around Vanities - 21% of Parade of Homes Entries by Orange County Home Builders

4. Standard Vanities - 14% of Parade of Homes Entries by Orange County Home Builders
- The remaining new homes included a straight vanity with two sinks, of varying lengths and with varying features (some homes featured drawers in the vanity cabinets while others did not, for instance).
