Wall-hung or floor-standing, single or double basin, timber or laminate. What to think about before you pick the centrepiece of your bathroom.

The vanity is usually the first thing you see in a bathroom. It also does a lot of the work: storage, bench space and a home for your basin and tapware.

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung vanities make a room feel bigger and are easy to clean under. They need solid wall framing to support them, which we plan for during the build. Floor-standing and freestanding vanities suit traditional and Hamptons-style bathrooms and offer more storage.

Size

Measure the space and allow room to move around the vanity and open the door. Single-basin vanities suit most ensuites and small bathrooms. If two people use the bathroom at the same time, a double vanity of at least 1500mm usually makes sense.

Materials

  • Timber veneer or timber-look fronts add warmth. Fluted and curved fronts are very popular right now.
  • Two-pack (painted) finishes give a smooth, solid colour.
  • Moisture-resistant board is essential for the carcass in a Queensland bathroom.

Tops and basins

Stone or engineered stone tops are hard-wearing and look premium. Above-counter basins make a statement, while under-mount or integrated basins are easier to wipe clean.

We can supply standard vanities or arrange custom joinery to suit your space. Ask us at your free onsite inspection.
