First, because you're replacing an existing sink, you may want to choose a simple box vanity without drawers or shelving.
Since existing drain and water lines are roughed-in for a pedestal sink, an open base can give you extra room to reconnect the plumbing.
Now for the vanity base size recommendations. When replacing a single wall-hung or pedestal sink, in most cases your choice options will fall in the small to midsize categories.
The key factor is your bathroom size. If you have a tight fit, a smaller vanity base like 24 inches wide may be a good option. For larger family-use bathrooms, a midsize 30- to 36-inch-wide base may be your best fit.
Bottom line: When installing a vanity base and sink, don't overwhelm or underwhelm the sink area space in your bathroom ... size does matter.
