A wall hung bathroom vanity (also called a floating vanity or wall-mounted vanity) is a cabinet that is fixed directly to the wall rather than sitting on the floor. The key benefits for homeowners include a more spacious, modern aesthetic, because you can see the floor underneath, even small bathrooms feel larger and airier. Wall hung vanities are also much easier to clean, as you can sweep or mop straight underneath. They work particularly well in ensuites, powder rooms, and compact bathrooms where every centimetre counts.

Yes. Unlike floor-standing vanities, wall hung vanities must be anchored to solid structural support, ideally wall studs or a solid timber blocking frame installed within the wall cavity. Because the vanity carries the weight of the cabinet, basin, benchtop, and everything stored inside it, standard plasterboard alone is not sufficient. If you are renovating, it is essential to discuss blocking requirements with your builder or plumber before the walls are lined. A licensed plumber or carpenter should always perform the installation to ensure it meets Australian building standards.

The standard installation height for a wall hung vanity in Australia is approximately 850mm from the finished floor level to the top of the benchtop. However, this can be adjusted to suit the needs of your household, for example, lowering slightly for shorter users or households with young children, or raising to 900mm for taller adults. One major advantage of wall hung vanities is this flexibility: because height is set at installation, you can customise it to suit your family before the unit is fixed in place.

A shaving cabinet is a recessed or surface-mounted wall cabinet with a mirrored door (or doors) on the front. Unlike a flat bathroom mirror, a shaving cabinet provides internal storage for medicines, razors, skincare products, and other bathroom essentials. Many modern shaving cabinets also feature integrated LED lighting, shaving points, and demister pads, making them a highly functional addition to any bathroom.

Shaving cabinets typically range from 450mm to 1200mm wide. For a single-basin vanity, a 600–750mm wide cabinet is a popular choice. For double vanities, a wider 900–1200mm cabinet or two side-by-side units works well. Depth matters too, most cabinets are 100–150mm deep, which is enough for most toiletry storage.

Australian bathrooms commonly feature flat-mounted wall mirrors, LED-backlit mirrors, frameless mirrors, framed mirrors, and shaving cabinets with mirrored doors. Shape options include rectangular, round, oval, arch, and pill-shaped mirrors. The Blue Space stocks all of these styles from brands like Ingrain, with options that suit everything from minimalist to Hamptons-style bathrooms.

A freestanding bath is a bathtub that stands independently on the floor with no enclosing walls or built-in surround, it's visible on all sides and is typically the centrepiece of the bathroom. Freestanding baths suit larger bathrooms where there's adequate floor space around the unit. They are one of the most popular design choices in Australian master bathrooms and ensuites.

A back to wall bath has a flat back panel designed to sit flush against the bathroom wall, while the front and sides have a freestanding design that's visible. This gives the appearance of a freestanding bath while using the wall for structural support and plumbing concealment. Tapware is usually wall-mounted behind or beside the bath, and the waste is hidden within the wall or floor.

A corner bath is designed to fit into the corner of a bathroom, with the tub angling into the room and two flat sides sitting flush against the walls. This configuration is space-efficient in layouts where a standard alcove bath doesn't fit, and it opens up the centre of the bathroom.
