How to Install Outlet in Bathroom Vanity Effortlessly

Adding an in-drawer outlet to your bathroom vanity is essential when it comes to creating a highly organized and functional space. Having drawer outlets inside your bathroom cabinets and bathroom drawers provides a designated space to stow and power hot tools like your hair dryer, curling iron, trimmer, shaver, and more. 

This effectively eliminates countertop cord and device clutter while allowing your styling accessories to remain plugged in and ready for use at all times. But where exactly is the best place to install your in-drawer vanity outlet?

In-drawer outlets for the vanity are almost always meant for the purpose of organizing and powering hot styling tools, shavers and other devices commonly used in the daily get-ready routine. The best and most common place to install an in-drawer vanity outlet is the center drawer, which is deep enough to fit and organize the devices most people are looking to plug in, like hair dryers and curling irons.

But why not the top drawer? The top drawer is typically the most shallow, and designed specifically for everyday hygiene items such as your toothbrush, toothpaste, Q-tips, combs, night creams, and so on. 

So, while electrical outlets can technically be installed into the top vanity drawer, this will only make sense if you (or your client) are looking to utilize the outlet box exclusively for plugging in smaller and lower voltage items like electric toothbrushes or trimmers.
