Your cabinet finish sets the tone for the whole bathroom. Davenport offers both warm wood-grain finishes and soft matte solid colors, and each brings something different to the room.
The case for wood
Wood-grain finishes add warmth and texture to a room full of hard surfaces like tile, stone, glass, and metal. Our wood finishes range from light and airy to deep and dramatic. Ivory Infinite Oak and Desert Oak feel light and natural. Manhattan Oak and Raven Oak bring richer tones. Pure Walnut and Frozen Walnut add depth and character.
Wood works especially well in bathrooms with white or light tile, where it keeps the space from feeling cold.
The case for solid color
A solid matte finish gives a cleaner, more tailored look. Soft neutrals like Alabaster Matte, Arctic Matte, and Dove Matte keep a bathroom bright and calm. Deeper shades like Oceanic Matte, Rainforest Matte, and Ash Matte turn the vanity into a focal point.
Solid colors are a smart choice when your tile or stone already has a lot of pattern, since they give the eye a place to rest.
Start with what's staying
If you're keeping existing tile, flooring, or countertops, choose a finish that works with them. Look closely at undertones. Warm tile in cream, beige, or tan pairs naturally with oak and walnut. Cool tile in bright white, gray, or gray-veined marble can take a cool solid color, or a warm wood for contrast.
Look at it in your own light
Daylight shows color truthfully, while warm evening bulbs make everything look warmer. Before you decide, look at finish samples in your own bathroom at different times of day. Finish samples are available on request.
Finish with hardware
Hardware is the jewelry of a vanity. Satin Gold warms up both wood and deep solid colors. Matte Black gives crisp contrast on light finishes. Satin Nickel and Polished Chrome sit comfortably beside most faucets. Matching your hardware to your faucet is the simplest way to make the room feel pulled together.
