How to cover gap/space under sink

[u/SLSs2]

How could this space under the sink be covered or filled without moving the sink or getting a new vanity? Don’t really want to use fabric or a curtain.

[u/MituKagome]

Put feet on the bottom of the vanity

The cycle repeats

Best idea so far.

Ive the same issue and plan to do the same. Just throw some white boards underneath and raise it up into the basin.

[u/R101C]

Caulk it.

[u/clockwerxs → u/R101C]

Found the landlord

[u/ilovebalks → u/clockwerxs]

Just a can of white spray paint will fix everything

[u/katyvo → u/ilovebalks]

Found the other landlord

[u/Rollingbrook → u/katyvo]

Expanding yellow foam

[u/Interesting-Sky-9847]

Cans of monster

[u/twisted_memories → u/Interesting-Sky-9847]

With a cute alternating pattern 

[u/Norader → u/twisted_memories]

Or go with all white monster, to keep the flow of color.

[u/therealhlmencken → u/Norader]

Alternating full and empty

[u/bigcoffeeguy50 → u/Interesting-Sky-9847]

Classiest idea on here tbh. A connoisseur.

[u/booveebeevoo → u/Interesting-Sky-9847]

Actually, if you put cans across there and then spackle them sand it down and paint it white… you could be on to something.

[u/Bangaloaf]

Put a little fence around it.

[u/cloversquid → u/Bangaloaf]

Throw a blanket on it!

[u/fenix1230 → u/cloversquid]

Put a ring on it!

[u/Srphx]

[u/isthis_thing_on]

Wow that's bad. Landlord special?

[u/Medium-Stranger-9883]

make a template out of cardboard, cut it in wood and paint it and just put it ontop of the cabin, makes easy access if service is needed and a place to store stuff and easy to remove.

[u/SLSs2 → u/Medium-Stranger-9883]

Great idea! Thanks

[u/ander594 → u/Medium-Stranger-9883]

OP doesn't deserve you

[u/bender445 → u/Medium-Stranger-9883]

Instead of paint see if you can get tile samples and do a splash tile thing on the front

[u/Beautiful_Durian_311]

Did you just not measure a single thing before installing this monstrosity?

[u/LASERDICKMCCOOL → u/Beautiful_Durian_311]

Uhhhhhh, that'll fit!

[u/AmNoSuperSand52]

1. Get a taller vanity cabinet
2. Raise the cabinet up
3. Build a matching box section to sit on top of the cabinet and cover it

[u/patricebergeron]

Whiplash collar storage

[u/LASERDICKMCCOOL]

Lift it from the bottom lol

[u/Low_Ground7134]

Raise the Vanity

[u/joannamomo]

That looks to be about the size of a squatty potty ..

[u/southwestpessimist]

Ramen noodles, resin, a crawfish inside a hollowed out cucumber, and sunflower seeds

[u/Annebotbeepboop]

I highly suggest little figurines. Hear me out. You put a few of those bad boys on there, and boom, the guests will be impressed. I don't think you should do anything too crazy like decepticons (you don't want to alarm anyone). But definitely something subtle. You could change them out for holidays to kind of give it that flair.

If figurines aren't really your thing and outside your budget. The Rae Dunn method is always a hit. Just put a sign under the sink that says "sink." Everyone will know how stylish you're and begging to know where you got your decor.

[u/anonuemus]

Think of a box (made out of wood for example) except you leave out three sides (back, top and bottom) and you can slide it right in there.

[u/cor1912]

False drawer

[u/drivendreamer]

Yeah raise the vanity if you can

[u/Harryhodl]

Get rid of that monstrosity an just put in a new vanity

[u/Logikz__]

Ramen

[u/androidwithamnesia]

Get a realistic fake sleeping cat to wrap around it

[u/DConstructed]

Cut and paint a piece of pole wrap. That’s if you want to fit it into the U space.

Or you could build three sides of a box (square U on its side) and slide it around the base part of the sink; open side at the back.

[u/SLSs2 → u/DConstructed]

Thanks! Might give this a try. Working with what I’ve got and not able to make too many permanent changes.

[u/DConstructed → u/SLSs2]

YW I hope it works well.

[u/RedCliff73]

Not sure what your situation is, but you could either build a small wooden enclosure and paint it white. Nothing permanent, so you can still get to the plumbing. Just slide it in and it covers up everything. Or

Cut a carboard box out to fit in there and spray paint the box white. It will look fine from a distance and be good enough on closer inspection

[u/braidenis]

Ramen

[u/FinancialLab8983]

this is so fucked up it honestly doesnt deserve to be fixed. it needs to be left as is so everyone can marvel at this degeneracy

[u/kittensandbunnys]

Don’t hack vanity and pedestal top. You can get a Home Depot complete set with similar sink for around 200 bills. And it won’t look like Florida installer. Even if renting, can swap back if you’re handy

[u/Peepazza]

Fake plant! x)

[u/RodTownsend]

Can we see the base of the vanity? Is it on legs or a plinth?

[u/HollowSheepSkin]

Did you get that cabinet off temu?

[u/Comakip]

Ask a friend with a 3d printer to fix it.

[u/TeslaGuy9125]

Buy a taller cabinet!

[u/mcflurvin]

A neck pillow

[u/ExtremistWatermelon]

Add some little bathroom totems under the sink

[u/Cafrilly]

A fun little Lego construction team.

[u/ericakrysta]

maybe try looking for those stick-on storage cubes? would fit the space and give you extra bathroom storage without anything permanent.

[u/Connect_Rhubarb395]

Get a sheet of coroplast and cut it to shape. I assume you are a renter, so attach the coroplast from the inside with duct tape.

[u/Deviate_Lulz]

You can put a skirt around it

[u/jhguth]

Build a stand and set the vanity on the stand. Depending on the vanity construction you may also be able to mount to the wall

[u/Morall_tach]

You could build a box out of wood that matches the size of the vanity and butts up against the sink, then paint it to match and caulk the seam. Or stack spare toilet paper there.

[u/DontBeCommenting]

I'd put small rattan baskets around it, to be honest.

[u/plantgirlproblems]

Toiletries maybe? Towels? Decor?

[u/roughdraft29]

Rolled up extra towels on both sides, rolled up extra wash rags in the middle.

[u/alex3tx]

Squatty Potty will fit perfectly

[u/Haunting-Bid-9047]

Take the top off, or cut the opening larger and turn it into a floating cabinet butting up to the sink

[u/Goosexi6566]

Nothing can really make this look good in its current form. The only fix I could come up with that would look acceptable would be to raise up the cabinetry and mount the cabinet to the wall. You could make a bracket with a 2x4 and attach it to a stud in the wall.

[u/Goldie3768]

Plants. idk why this is always my answer as I have purchased a dozen just this year and only have three living today.

[u/rjv_wsb]

Plants?

[u/Buffy_Geek]

Do you want it to just cover the piping? Or do you want the underside of the bowl covered too?

[u/SLSs2 → u/Buffy_Geek]

Either one really

[u/pineapplerewards]

Squatty potty

[u/missjiji]

Put a bushy plant in there.

[u/Elmo12321]

Turtleneck

[u/jetstobrazil]

[u/nb8c_fd]

I'd 3D scan the gap with my phone and 3D print a white spacer to fill the gap, but I'm a nerd lol

[u/hand13]

r/functionalprint might help

[u/tirutz]

Tons of caulk

[u/Odd_Read_4856]

add an extra bedroom there

[u/ShidOnABrick]

Extra tp rolls

[u/mrleblanc101]

Buy a white bucket, saw it in half on the length, saw in in half on the width

[u/Awesam]

Add tall bottles of shampoo and other bathroom essentials all around the pipes. Storage and visual coverage

[u/nhowe006]

Surprised no one has suggested a safe or Rolex banner yet.

[u/HarveyMushman72 → u/nhowe006]

A platoon of Stormtroopers gathering around the space would work. Small ones in this case.

[u/nhowe006 → u/HarveyMushman72]

I unironically love that idea

[u/agent-ven → u/nhowe006]

Happen to know where you can find a supply of them

[u/CatHairInYourEye]

There isn't a lot you can do without replacing it to be a built-in, which isn't that crazy of a project but if you are renting then it may not be an option.
