Our Guide to Choosing the right Vanity

Consider how you use your bathroom and the size available before choosing a vanity and basin. Start by measuring your wall space and thinking about how much bench room you want around your bathroom basin, whether you’re after a sleek inset basin that blends with the benchtop or a bold above-counter basin that makes a statement. Matching the vanity size with the perfect basin type ensures your layout feels balanced and functional.

Bathroom vanity sizes vary widely, from compact 600 mm units perfect for small bathrooms, to expansive double-basin vanities that suit family spaces. Choosing a vanity that fits well with your chosen basin, whether it’s a single basin or two basins side by side, not only enhances usability but also avoids overcrowding your room. Standard sizes give you flexibility, but custom options are great if you want a tailored fit.

When selecting a bathroom vanity, material choice matters for durability and maintenance. Look for vanities with solid benchtops that resist moisture and daily wear, especially around the basin area where water exposure is constant. Durable drawers, soft-close mechanisms, and moisture-resistant finishes ensure your vanity and basin area stay looking great for years.

Your vanity style should work harmoniously with your basin to elevate the overall aesthetic. Wall-hung vanities give a modern, streamlined look and can make small bathrooms feel larger, while freestanding vanities add character and depth. Pair these with basin shapes, from round above-counter designs to minimalist recessed basins, to create a cohesive look that reflects your taste.

A well-chosen vanity not only looks great but improves organisation in your bathroom. Think about drawers and cupboard space for storing toiletries, towels, and cleaning supplies, all while keeping your basin area clutter-free. Full-extension drawers, soft-close doors, and smart storage solutions make everyday routines smoother and ensure your vanity area stays tidy.
