800mm Vanities

An 800mm vanity sits in the sweet spot between compact and full-size, making it one of the most versatile bathroom vanity widths available in Australia. This page covers every 800mm vanity unit stocked at The Blue Space, including wall hung and floor-standing configurations, single basin options, available finishes, and the key specifications to check before buying.

Is 800mm a standard vanity size?

Yes. 800mm (80cm) is one of the most common bathroom vanity widths sold in Australia, sitting between the 750mm and 900mm brackets. It fits comfortably in a single-person bathroom of around 1500mm x 1800mm or larger, and is frequently specified in main bathrooms and ensuites where space allows for a basin plus storage without overcrowding the room.

The 800mm width also accommodates a full-size undermount or above-counter basin while leaving enough cabinet depth, typically 460mm to 500mm, for a functional drawer or door configuration underneath.

Wall hung or floor standing: which suits an 800mm vanity?

Wall hung 800mm vanities fix directly to the wall with no floor contact, which makes the floor area below the cabinet visible and easier to clean. Floor-standing units sit on the floor and are generally simpler to install because they do not require wall framing rated to carry the load. Both configurations are widely available at this width.

Wall hung units are more common in new builds and renovations where a plumber or builder can reinforce the wall noggin during the fit-out. Floor-standing units are a lower-risk replacement in an existing bathroom where the wall structure is unknown. Depth and projection from the wall are the same across most models regardless of mounting style.

What basin types come with an 800mm vanity unit?

At 800mm width, three basin configurations are common: integrated (the basin formed as part of the benchtop, often a stone or solid surface), undermount (a separate ceramic basin recessed below a stone or laminate top), and above-counter (a vessel basin sitting on top of the benchtop). Integrated and undermount tops keep the basin profile low, which suits contemporary bathrooms. Above-counter basins add visual height and are a feature in themselves.

Some 800mm vanity units are sold as a cabinet only and require a separate basin and top selection. Check the product listing carefully to confirm whether a basin and tap hole configuration are included, or whether the unit is a freestanding cabinet that needs a benchtop ordered separately.

What finishes are available in 800mm vanities?

The most common cabinet finishes across 800mm vanity units at The Blue Space are matte white, gloss white, natural oak timber look, dark charcoal, and light grey. Stone and solid surface benchtops in this size range typically come in white carrara, grey marble look, and matte black options, depending on the brand and range.

Timber-look foil wraps and real oak veneer cabinets are both available at this width. Real oak and walnut options carry a higher price point but offer more durable and moisture-resistant surfaces than foil over MDF. Always confirm the moisture rating of the cabinet material, particularly for ensuite and main bathroom use where humidity is higher.

What brands stock 800mm vanities?

Brands available in the 800mm vanity range at The Blue Space include Fienza, ADP, Otti, and Meir, among others. Fienza offers ranges such as Kaya, Tono, Koko, Joli, Alix, Eleanor, and Lillian across multiple finishes at this width. ADP covers floor-standing and wall hung configurations with a strong range of timber-look and matte cabinet options. Otti focuses on compact, complete vanity packages that include the basin and benchtop as standard.

What to check before buying an 800mm vanity

Confirm the external width is 800mm, not the basin bowl width. Some listings describe the basin size rather than the cabinet size, so verify the overall cabinet dimension in the product specifications. Check depth against your available floor space, as 800mm vanities typically project 460mm to 500mm from the wall, and you need at least 600mm of clear floor space in front for comfortable use to meet Australian bathroom design guidelines.

Also confirm the waste and overflow position, the tap hole location or whether it is a tap-hole-free benchtop that requires a wall or deck mixer, and whether the unit ships assembled or flat-pack. Flat-pack vanities require on-site assembly before installation and may add time to your plumber's labour cost.

How does an 800mm vanity compare to nearby sizes?

A 750mm vanity is 50mm narrower and is typically used when the bathroom width is tight or a second door or obstacle limits the available run. A 900mm vanity provides 100mm more benchtop width, which makes a noticeable difference for two people sharing a bathroom but requires a longer wall run. An 800mm unit is generally the minimum practical width for a main bathroom used by two adults, while a 750mm is more suited to a single-person ensuite.
