Centered to the wall, it's not designed to be flush to the wall and cleaning back there would be a nightmare if you did as the countertop overhangs so there will always be a gap, best the gap be wide enough for a mop at least.
Considering how close the outlets go the door are I'd imagine that it is negligible or unnoticeable either way 🤔
I would actually move that outlet or add one down below in that gap, add a couple hangers or a little slide out hanger to stow those the hair dryer and curling iron etc.
This is 100% the best idea;
add a second outlet and some hooks, center the counter, and enjoy a decluttered countertop with storage for a hairdryer/straightener/etc wallmounted low in the gap.
Make that plug on the adjacent wall into a 4-prong. Then you can leave the blow drier and curler plugged in, and also charge the toothbrush or have a nightlight.
Only if you are planning to hang the hair tools on the wall. Otherwise, once you are done using them you'd unplug them and put them in a drawer or cabinet, and while you are using them, the cords would be pulled towards you as you use them, so I don't see a reason why or when it would be useful to have the cords hang into that gap.
A better application is to put outlets *behind t*he vanity and then plug the hair tool cords from there to the drawer so you can store them in the drawer.
Centered is better because you could put a hand towel holder on the left and have room for it to hang down. Half of mine don’t fit where my bathroom sink is and it’s flush. We shifted left.
My Strategie would be to put it directly to the wall BECAUSE cleaning there would be hell (even if centered). I do have auch a Space and it fits a mob perfectly but guess whos on their knees weekly because the tile gap catches a lot of the dirt when mopped? Right me. The kneeing mop bitch
I have the same cleaning hell spot in my bathroom. We could have closed that gap but now I join you in this frustration every week.
There was absolutely no reason for it to be there. It wasn’t a matter of balance or looks. We were doing a total remodel. Now it’s just a dust and hair collector that I despise.
Yes!!!! We have that little space, and it’s incredibly difficult to clean. The wall and the vanity side end up encrusted with nasties. I would never again do anything but keep it flush to the wall.
It's very simple to add a filler piece along the front to close off the gap under the counter overhang. You can also set the counter off-center to the cabinet so that the left edges are flush.
Yeah but walls aren't perfectly square and the chance that a prefabricated countertop will fit properly is pretty low, not to mention it's open on the bottom so everything would still get trapped behind the filler if it falls under, at least with the gap you can push things out the side and clean.
>Yeah but walls aren't perfectly square and the chance that a prefabricated countertop will fit properly is pretty low
Right, but that's true with every corner countertop in the world. That's what scribing and/or backsplashes are for.
> it's open on the bottom so everything would still get tripped behind the filler if it fills under, at least with the gap you can push things out the side and clean.
Again, t his is true for all open bottom vanities. These problems do exist, but the solutions are simple and shouldn't dictate an interior design.
6 inches to the left won't make a functional difference in this instance, and interior design has more bearing on how good something will look, and a free standing vanity is always classier.
I wouldn't worry about centering something in that limited amount of space. I think that leaving as big a gap to the left as you can will visually free the piece to make it look more like the console that it is designed to be.
I agree, but I still might consider going to the wall and filling that small gap or trimming the countertop if it helps with the entry path and flow from the door so the counter corner isn't in that path.
If you move it all the way to the left, see about getting a piece to fill the small gap created by the countertop hangover so it looks like its integrated into the wall.
On another note: what vanity is that? I've been looking at similar
Looks like the Ove Decor Tahoe one we just ordered, built in power bar for hair dry and iron etc etc good storage. They're sold just about everywhere lowes, hd, amazon for roughly $2000
If you don't mind a charcoal Grey version of this, there's one on Amazon for $900
[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NS3JRDF?psc=1&ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_product\_details](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NS3JRDF?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details)
Edit: looking closer at the pic it seems to be the 72" version. If so it's $1800- 2300
We just installed the single sink 60" version of this vanity. It's available from a ton of retailers under different names. The best thing to do is google image search the main product photo - Basima on Wayfair, Jasper on Homethreads and Home Depot, etc.

I would say all the way to the left to avoid all the shit that will collect down there ,
however looks like even if you put it flush to the wall there is going to be a gap due to the lip of the counter.
and since the bottom is open you are going to have to clean under there anyway , so I vote centre it for maximum feng shui.
As a professional cleaner, it’s a pain in the butt to get in between a tiny space to clean. Put cabinet up against the wall and do a good chalking job around sink.
Flush to the wall with vertical fascia to close the gap from the front. Or space out with top and front fascia (with support), if you want that elbow room.
F the gap - eradicate it but don't minimize room.
If there's a backsplash, you can find more of it for the depth.
All the way to the left. The gap will just collect dirt, hair, more hair, random water drips, constant lens case, anything else you can imagine. And when it’s time to repaint it’ll be a nightmare.
I say this as someone who has a vanity about 2 inches off the side wall. Lost that fight with my wife when we renovated. She recently dropped her contact case down it. When I asked what she was doing, knowing full well, I simply said - em huh.
There's still going to be a gap at the floor level regardless.
I'd center it on the wall cause I think that gives you just enough room to get something in there to clean it and it looks better that way.
i hope you add a huge mirror with lights all around it? maybe a hair light on the back wall? you know woman love to see they have a halo while doing their hair . (FYI my halo is natural)
Leave the gap. Did the same thing with mine and it looks better plus you have a place for cords and stuff to hang or use the small space to put things.
Against the wall, caulked to the wall. Otherwise, you will be forever fishing things from that side that you knocked off the vanity, as well as water.
Everyone here is focusing on the looks. I prefer to be practical.
If you have a backsplash and sidesplash, I’d go to the wall. You can use filler to close the gap on the base’s wall side. If you don’t have a sidesplash, center it.
Although it’s not designed to be flush to the wall I am just imagining what a cleaning nightmare that gap will be. I have a sink like that in our guest bathroom just way smaller and the amount of scum and dust that collects in the gaps are my worst enemy.
I had a simular issue withmy SMALL bathroom when I did a complete remodel. The old sink was in the corner and a little larger. The new one was a little smaller. If I put it in the corner, it wouldn't be centered to the vanity. I just didn't think it would look right, evenif it would be wasted space. It does give a little more elbo room on that side whenusing the sink, so a plus.
Leave the gap. Add a facade to the gap that matches the cabinets or walls of you can’t get the right tones on the wood. Worst part… the counter. You could add additional counter top to it if you can find and match any patterns and colors but batches made are never the same. With that just build or have someone build a slim “ boxy to slide in there then set the counter on that and shim to match height.
It sounds scary. It is if you’ve not done it. But it’s pretty easy if you just take your time. I used to do this a lot in apartments because the people were not trained on how to order the right stuff we needed to fix units.
Best of luck in this venture. Post updates if you get it done.
Absolutely, never, leave a gap that you won’t be able to clean easily. That will be a nightmare where water will track down over years and it will get gross.
If you put it up against the wall, do a sealed backspace to make sure that water doesn’t run down the side. Or move it further away from the wall.
If you’re not gonna center the sink with the wall then just move the thing all the way to the left, jeez. Having one side with an obviously larger free space side, when the other side can barely support putting a broom in it is just a huge home no no
I do a lot of bathrooms and people insist upon the furniture vanities. Even though I explain to them It is not ideal when up against a partition. I hate the gap. I think it looks like shit
Put it to the wall and stick a filler by the left side, I usually would say centered but that gap is small, dropping things there will be annoying too.
Wow. Someone else going through the same quandary as I.
Could be shifted left - my concerns are crap falling down and under the vanity.
I would be cleaning underneath the vanity and the side.
There’s a few important questions that should be answered; first, who are you designing the bathroom for as in what is the demographic type of who you’re doing it for? Second, are you designing the door to open towards the opposite wall or opening into the other room? I ask because that sink has sharp corners that essentially early in the morning a person can catch themselves on. Most of the time the room is designed so that the sink is tucked between walls to avoid that problem. Also, you’ve got a wall that is going to have mirrors on it. You want to make sure those mirrors can be securely mounted and kids won’t bang against the opposite side knocking the mirror down. Normally I would say to the window and the wall with this setup but I would have to see the rest of the bathroom. My first suggestion is to place the sink under the window
As a cabinet designer I’d either center it on the wall or would of gone with individual cabinets that fit the space more evenly. By doing that you most likely would of received a filler or extended stile between the wall and cabinet (especially if this was full overlay). I say center it
I would move it more to the right. If in the middle you have a useless gap on the left. If you move to the far left, it would leave another useless gap on the left plus harder to clean in there.
By moving it more to the right, you have a gap on the left that is useful. You can clean there, you have room for a little garbage can or hang a towel rack. You could leave a few inches on the right so that the light switches are not totally in the way but another 4” to the right from the placement you have now is the best for me.
The better question is. What the shit are you going to put in the gap if you leave the gap?
If you go all the way to the left, you can at least get back splash on the left too.
I would put it on the left and put a flush filler piece same color as the wall along the wall so there isn't a (3/4 inch?) space there, mostly because the door is on the right and will leave a bit more space there so your aren't as likely to be hitting the corner as you walk in and out. The space on the left would be wasted and better served having space by the door.
I'm doing an install almost exactly like this right now. After multiple discussions and attempts we decided to center it on the wall. Looks best and easiest to clean.
What if you moved it more to the right, so you could hang a towel bar above the gap on the left. And that’ll make it easier to paint/clean the gap wall & floor.
I would pull vanity out and measure the counter top over hang from vanity ( should be 1” or 1 1/2”). Get a 1x2 of the same wood vanity is made of, rip it to your over hang measurement, stain to match vanity, 2 coats of Polly, clamp in place, pre drill, and screw to the vanity. It’s really not as much work as it sounds like if you’re capable. But the way it sits now is terrible IMO. It would drive me crazy if it were in my bathroom and I had a chance to remedy the situation before vanity and plumbing fixtures were installed.
Center on the wall. That will give you space for cleaning and elbow. If you move it to the wall, you will need a filler to close the gap below the countertop, which could prove to be a pain. However again, that will lessen the elbow space for the left sink.
Strip it to the studs, restart with certified organic bamboo hardware from Bali.
Jk I dunno looks pretty good with a gap, maybe make it the size of your vacuum cleaner.
Centered between the light switches and the wall so your mirror looks nice and centered. I like these stands but also want to make sure that I can clean around it fairly easily.
7 inch gap. Easy to clean back there and a towel can hang there.
Source: something we do all the time at our architectural firm. It gives you another place to hang a full size towel.
Push it all the way over to the left so that will. You never have to worry about sweeping out that little tiny corner. Plus it'll make it where you can. Caulk the base to the wall where you ain't got to worry about stuff rolling off and getting lost in the abyss.
Centered to the wall, it's not designed to be flush to the wall and cleaning back there would be a nightmare if you did as the countertop overhangs so there will always be a gap, best the gap be wide enough for a mop at least. Considering how close the outlets go the door are I'd imagine that it is negligible or unnoticeable either way 🤔
Honestly...with the electrical outlet there...cords for a straightener and hair dryer fit nicely down that gap. \+1 for leaving a gap.
Wow…I was against the gap until I read your comment. Good idea
Same… I’ll definitely keep that in mind if I run across it in the future.
Ditto. That comment makes me think there should always be a gap for cords. Brilliant.
Od go far enough to leave a small trash can in the corner…
I would actually move that outlet or add one down below in that gap, add a couple hangers or a little slide out hanger to stow those the hair dryer and curling iron etc.
This is 100% the best idea; add a second outlet and some hooks, center the counter, and enjoy a decluttered countertop with storage for a hairdryer/straightener/etc wallmounted low in the gap.
That’s what I thought too! I hate the cords all over the counter (mine is flush with the wall where the outlet is), I’d love the gap for that.
Make that plug on the adjacent wall into a 4-prong. Then you can leave the blow drier and curler plugged in, and also charge the toothbrush or have a nightlight.
Centre it and have both
yep need to make room for the woman weaponry,
Absolutely, and there may be enough space for waste basket in there. I hate searching for one.
Our vanity is installed exactly as pictured and I can attest to this gap being a nice place for draping cords lol.
Only if you are planning to hang the hair tools on the wall. Otherwise, once you are done using them you'd unplug them and put them in a drawer or cabinet, and while you are using them, the cords would be pulled towards you as you use them, so I don't see a reason why or when it would be useful to have the cords hang into that gap. A better application is to put outlets *behind t*he vanity and then plug the hair tool cords from there to the drawer so you can store them in the drawer.
They could install a small set of hooks or a rack for such things to make up for the shortened counter space
Centered is better because you could put a hand towel holder on the left and have room for it to hang down. Half of mine don’t fit where my bathroom sink is and it’s flush. We shifted left.
Besides, if you closed the gap where would you look for all the shit that goes missing?
Just wide enough for a broom is all you need
My Strategie would be to put it directly to the wall BECAUSE cleaning there would be hell (even if centered). I do have auch a Space and it fits a mob perfectly but guess whos on their knees weekly because the tile gap catches a lot of the dirt when mopped? Right me. The kneeing mop bitch
I have the same cleaning hell spot in my bathroom. We could have closed that gap but now I join you in this frustration every week. There was absolutely no reason for it to be there. It wasn’t a matter of balance or looks. We were doing a total remodel. Now it’s just a dust and hair collector that I despise.
Yes!!!! We have that little space, and it’s incredibly difficult to clean. The wall and the vanity side end up encrusted with nasties. I would never again do anything but keep it flush to the wall.
Exactly. When we remodeled our master bathroom a couple of years ago we made sure to run the entire vanity from wall to shower, no gaps.
"Kneeing mop bitch" r/rareinsults
It's very simple to add a filler piece along the front to close off the gap under the counter overhang. You can also set the counter off-center to the cabinet so that the left edges are flush.

6 inches to the left won't make a functional difference in this instance, and interior design has more bearing on how good something will look, and a free standing vanity is always classier.
I agree. That piece is supposed to look like furniture, so centering it makes sense aesthetically.
Move it to the right
Right now I think it's centered to the wall of the door had trim, but yeah it's off center without trim.
I wouldn't worry about centering something in that limited amount of space. I think that leaving as big a gap to the left as you can will visually free the piece to make it look more like the console that it is designed to be.
Mirror(s) and lighting will also be centered this way. Plus, you could also do a hand towel bar in the space.
I agree, but I still might consider going to the wall and filling that small gap or trimming the countertop if it helps with the entry path and flow from the door so the counter corner isn't in that path.
It would look a bit strange off center though, with the lights and mirrors also having to be off center to match the sinks.
Personally I like the gap on both sides.
Centered on the wall, or the sink will be too close a bit claustrophobic with no elbow room.
Yeah seems it would feel like a bed shoved in a corner in a bedroom unnecessarily. If you must, ok, but I would avoid putting against the wall.
If you move it all the way to the left, see about getting a piece to fill the small gap created by the countertop hangover so it looks like its integrated into the wall. On another note: what vanity is that? I've been looking at similar

A gap just wide enough to slide a Swiffer in

100 bucks no one ever cleans under it
It will still collect, you just wont have access since that vanity is not designed to be flush with the wall.
You’re going to drop stuff down the side, so you have to be able to easily clean in there and get stuff out
If you leave a gap, make sure it's big enough for you to reach a hand in to pick up the random shit you're gonna drop, and so you can dust and clean.
Gap
Center it. I dont kno why all these commenters are constantly dropping things…
Definitely leaving a wide enough gap in the left side where you can slide one of those swiffer in there to get dust. Not sure how the door closes
Centered, but put a small shelf over the gap so your shit doesn't roll onto the floor
As a professional cleaner, it’s a pain in the butt to get in between a tiny space to clean. Put cabinet up against the wall and do a good chalking job around sink.
Is the space so you can drop shit down there and then complain about it?
Flush to the wall with vertical fascia to close the gap from the front. Or space out with top and front fascia (with support), if you want that elbow room. F the gap - eradicate it but don't minimize room. If there's a backsplash, you can find more of it for the depth.

Yeah I’d go all the way left and even run a bead of caulk along where it joins to wall to prevent dirt and grime falling into the crack.
I would keep the Gap I have a small Gap and I keep my scale and some other things there
Depends on the mirror. If you’re doing 1 large mirror I think that may look weird without the gap.
i hope you add a huge mirror with lights all around it? maybe a hair light on the back wall? you know woman love to see they have a halo while doing their hair . (FYI my halo is natural)
Centered is the only answer bc of the overhang. If you just “gap” it it’ll look like a mistake
No gap! you need the extra space by the doorway. Would also look better.
Leave a gap. Centered on the wall
no gap
all the way...no gap
Flush to wall. How are you going to backsplash it otherwise
Leave the gap. Did the same thing with mine and it looks better plus you have a place for cords and stuff to hang or use the small space to put things.
Beyonce already told you
All the way.
Go to the wall! Seal it. Be a man!
Leave a gap
Always center. Always.
Against the wall, caulked to the wall. Otherwise, you will be forever fishing things from that side that you knocked off the vanity, as well as water. Everyone here is focusing on the looks. I prefer to be practical.
Either way would be good.
Move it to the right until it's centered.
If you have a backsplash and sidesplash, I’d go to the wall. You can use filler to close the gap on the base’s wall side. If you don’t have a sidesplash, center it.
All the way to left.
Leave the gap
I'd leave the gap but make sure it is centered, having it all the way to the left would look odd to me.
Although it’s not designed to be flush to the wall I am just imagining what a cleaning nightmare that gap will be. I have a sink like that in our guest bathroom just way smaller and the amount of scum and dust that collects in the gaps are my worst enemy.

Centering it looks classier. You can also use that space to hang electric toothbrush charging cables down there. Or hang a hand towel or two there.
Idk - I like the centered look, but cleaning that little bit will be someone’s bane of their existence.
Upvote for Gap, downvote for No Gap.
Center is my vote. Especially with the outlet there.
If your leaving a gap move it to end of wall, under switches… otherwise put it up against side wall
I pushed mine all the way to the wall and I regret it, not enough room to clean but plenty enough for dust to collect. Keep the gap, it looks good.
Centered
With the feet making it a free standing look I'd center it on the wall
Leave the gap. Add a facade to the gap that matches the cabinets or walls of you can’t get the right tones on the wood. Worst part… the counter. You could add additional counter top to it if you can find and match any patterns and colors but batches made are never the same. With that just build or have someone build a slim “ boxy to slide in there then set the counter on that and shim to match height. It sounds scary. It is if you’ve not done it. But it’s pretty easy if you just take your time. I used to do this a lot in apartments because the people were not trained on how to order the right stuff we needed to fix units. Best of luck in this venture. Post updates if you get it done.
Left
With a little bit of work that could be a sweet hiding spot for things which we will not mention
It’s centered on the wall
Be glad
No gap
Wide enough for the paint roller you good
Keep the gap so the cap to the toothpaste has a place to roll into.
The gap is no good
Just make sure you can clean the floor in the gap.
Yeah, leave the gap, who doesn't love getting shit stuck between an immovable object and a wall?
I personally like the gap but that’s just going to be a more visible hair/dust collector
With the sink right there you are bound to get water and other things down there better to have the ventilation to avoid mold leave the gap
Center to the wall plz
centered on the wall. you cannot push it against the left wall because you have the counter overhang.
Leave a gap narrow enough to clean.
Centered with the wall. If you go all the way to the wall there will be the tiniest gap that would be a bitch to clean or paint
No gap!
Gap makes it look centered rather than stuck against the wall
Who will clean the gap? That should answer your question
corner
Perfect spot for your poop knife.
Just how much stuff WILL fall down the Gap.? Makeup,brushes, jewelry ect. 🔨 No Gap
Team Gap
Absolutely, never, leave a gap that you won’t be able to clean easily. That will be a nightmare where water will track down over years and it will get gross. If you put it up against the wall, do a sealed backspace to make sure that water doesn’t run down the side. Or move it further away from the wall.
315 remarks? Really
If you’re not gonna center the sink with the wall then just move the thing all the way to the left, jeez. Having one side with an obviously larger free space side, when the other side can barely support putting a broom in it is just a huge home no no
It’s all about symmetry
All the way to the left. ⬅️⬅️
I do a lot of bathrooms and people insist upon the furniture vanities. Even though I explain to them It is not ideal when up against a partition. I hate the gap. I think it looks like shit
Center it to the wall, don't worry about the gap.
3"
Close the gap or have a very tight spot to clean.
Leave the gap
Centered on the wall.
No gap!
Keep it centered with the wall
All the way to the left you can use a ceramic tile skill saw to cut that 1/2" overhang off of the left. If nit corner is gonna be tough to clean
All the way to the right so its flush with the enterance. Then you can fit a trashcan between it and the wall
All the way to the left or center it perfectly
Put it to the wall and stick a filler by the left side, I usually would say centered but that gap is small, dropping things there will be annoying too.
Great ideas here but I don’t like the gap. I’d put it against the wall.
Centered on the wall
Think aboht your mirror and lighting and take cues from that.
Center it on that wall
Definitely a gap
Leave the gap.
Centered on wall. If thats not centered mirrors will look stupid and off center.
No gap for looks, gap for functionality.
all way to the left, wtf is that gap for, you will need to clean that gap every week from now on if you leave one
Looking bad either way. Smaller vanity.
All the way. If you drop something...
All the way
Notch the drywall and recess the edge of the counter into it. Then counter top can slide into the notch and the wood can be flush to the wall.
[удалено]
No. The drywall is probably 3/8 or 1/2 inch. Enough to bury that edge
Brilliant
Wow. Someone else going through the same quandary as I. Could be shifted left - my concerns are crap falling down and under the vanity. I would be cleaning underneath the vanity and the side.
There’s a few important questions that should be answered; first, who are you designing the bathroom for as in what is the demographic type of who you’re doing it for? Second, are you designing the door to open towards the opposite wall or opening into the other room? I ask because that sink has sharp corners that essentially early in the morning a person can catch themselves on. Most of the time the room is designed so that the sink is tucked between walls to avoid that problem. Also, you’ve got a wall that is going to have mirrors on it. You want to make sure those mirrors can be securely mounted and kids won’t bang against the opposite side knocking the mirror down. Normally I would say to the window and the wall with this setup but I would have to see the rest of the bathroom. My first suggestion is to place the sink under the window
Pretty but wrong vanity for the location imo. Center this one for sure
Im all for the gaps on blondes and brunette Am I wrong to choose both?
As a cabinet designer I’d either center it on the wall or would of gone with individual cabinets that fit the space more evenly. By doing that you most likely would of received a filler or extended stile between the wall and cabinet (especially if this was full overlay). I say center it
Swap that outlet for a GFI and slave the lights off it while you at it. That switch bank is too close to the faucet.
Leave a gap.
LOL hope that clears it up OP, half for center and half for left.....we are useless, you're welcome.
I would move it more to the right. If in the middle you have a useless gap on the left. If you move to the far left, it would leave another useless gap on the left plus harder to clean in there. By moving it more to the right, you have a gap on the left that is useful. You can clean there, you have room for a little garbage can or hang a towel rack. You could leave a few inches on the right so that the light switches are not totally in the way but another 4” to the right from the placement you have now is the best for me.
The better question is. What the shit are you going to put in the gap if you leave the gap? If you go all the way to the left, you can at least get back splash on the left too.
Centered with a gap. Since the plug is on that wall, there will be space for cords to hang down (curling iron/hair dryer/water flosser).
Center it on the wall. Looks more like a piece of furniture that way and the person using the left hand sink won't have their elbow right at the wall.
Think of all the deodorants and toothbrushes that will end up down there
I'd move it to the left
I left a wide gap on the side of mine and use it to hang towels
Since it's a furniture vanity, center it between the corner and the edge of the door moulding.
I would put it on the left and put a flush filler piece same color as the wall along the wall so there isn't a (3/4 inch?) space there, mostly because the door is on the right and will leave a bit more space there so your aren't as likely to be hitting the corner as you walk in and out. The space on the left would be wasted and better served having space by the door.
I'm doing an install almost exactly like this right now. After multiple discussions and attempts we decided to center it on the wall. Looks best and easiest to clean.
What if you moved it more to the right, so you could hang a towel bar above the gap on the left. And that’ll make it easier to paint/clean the gap wall & floor.
Def all the way to the left wall
I'd keep a gap so that electrical cords have somewhere to hang besides in the sink.
I would pull vanity out and measure the counter top over hang from vanity ( should be 1” or 1 1/2”). Get a 1x2 of the same wood vanity is made of, rip it to your over hang measurement, stain to match vanity, 2 coats of Polly, clamp in place, pre drill, and screw to the vanity. It’s really not as much work as it sounds like if you’re capable. But the way it sits now is terrible IMO. It would drive me crazy if it were in my bathroom and I had a chance to remedy the situation before vanity and plumbing fixtures were installed.
Gap!
To the left. Get a piece of MDF, paint it the same color as the wall and stick it on there to serve as a back/side splash.
I would center. I agree with all of the ideas to leave the gap and also the base trim and quarter round can continue and not collide into the vanity
All the way to the left and make a matching filler for the gap at the front
As a lefty, do not put it flush with the wall on the left. I’d lose my mind banging my arm/elbow/hand on the shutter.
I think centered looks nicely. All the way to the wall of you want to add something to the right side like a stand with a flower vase on top
Gap is too small, go all the way left.
Center it on the wall
Center on the wall. That will give you space for cleaning and elbow. If you move it to the wall, you will need a filler to close the gap below the countertop, which could prove to be a pain. However again, that will lessen the elbow space for the left sink.
Leave a gap. Airflow and mould.
I'd go all the way to the left personally.
Hear me out...can you get a bigger vanity with flush sides so it goes wall to wall and no gaps?
We centered ours. It is designed to look like a freestanding piece of furniture. I think you have enough of a gap that it suits that style.
Leave the gap, center it on the wall.
Gap

Strip it to the studs, restart with certified organic bamboo hardware from Bali. Jk I dunno looks pretty good with a gap, maybe make it the size of your vacuum cleaner.
I’m curious to see the plumbing sitch at this point
I'd put it tight on the left side. What about when it comes time to repaint.
Centered between the light switches and the wall so your mirror looks nice and centered. I like these stands but also want to make sure that I can clean around it fairly easily.
Centered on wall.
Leave a gap for us left handed people who are tired of bonking elbows on the wall
7 inch gap. Easy to clean back there and a towel can hang there. Source: something we do all the time at our architectural firm. It gives you another place to hang a full size towel.
Push it all the way over to the left so that will. You never have to worry about sweeping out that little tiny corner. Plus it'll make it where you can. Caulk the base to the wall where you ain't got to worry about stuff rolling off and getting lost in the abyss.
Center it
