Marquis Custom Vanities

Marquis Australian Made Vanities and Furniture Buying Guide

A vanity does more than hold a basin, it anchors the entire bathroom, and Marquis builds with that role in mind, choosing considered materials and construction that hold up to the genuine daily wear of a family bathroom.

What sets Marquis apart

Being Australian-made carries real, practical advantages: soft-close drawers built to handle years of daily use, finishes chosen specifically to withstand steam and moisture, and a solid, furniture-grade feel rather than a flat-pack construction. The brand's design focus stays genuinely functional as much as visual, deep drawers that pull fully out, and internal layouts built around how a bathroom is actually used day to day.

Choosing a vanity type

Wall-hung vanities fix directly to the wall, letting the floor stay visible underneath for a more spacious, contemporary feel, and genuinely easier cleaning. Freestanding vanities stand on the floor and offer the greatest storage capacity, well suited to a busy family bathroom. Slimline vanities suit a narrow bathroom, reducing front-to-back depth without sacrificing storage. Fluted and curved vanities bring genuine textural or sculptural character, a considered personality piece for a bathroom wanting more than a purely functional cabinet.

A closer look at named ranges

Marquis' range spans Bay, Cove, Gold, Lake, Shore, Avion, Marq (available in compact, all-drawer and floor-standing configurations), Marlo, Oxford, Pier, Arco, Palm, Reef, Camden, Chifley, Bowral and Shortland, each with its own proportions and detailing. Matching shaving cabinets, including the Frameless, Watson and Tide ranges, complete the room.

Choosing a benchtop

Marquis vanities are available with a ceramic top with integrated basin, a single continuous piece, or a stone-look top in Caesarstone, Vasari or Dekton with a separate basin sitting above it, alongside the brand's own Symphony solid surface and Casa top options. Each gives a genuinely different look, worth comparing directly before deciding.

Going custom

Marquis offers genuine custom vanity manufacturing for a space that's awkward, or a vision that's specific: width, drawer and door layout, colour and benchtop can all be specified, giving a result built exactly for the room rather than adapted to fit it.

Choosing the right size

Marquis vanities span a genuinely wide range, from compact 400mm to 600mm units suited to a powder room, through popular 750mm, 800mm and 900mm widths, up to larger 1000mm to 1800mm options, and a genuine 2100mm statement piece for a larger bathroom. Measuring the available space carefully, and allowing room to open doors and drawers comfortably, matters before committing to a size.

Wall hung vanity buying guide

What is a wall-hung vanity, and why choose one? A wall-hung (or floating) vanity fixes directly to the wall rather than sitting on the floor, giving a more spacious, modern look since the floor stays visible underneath. It's also considerably easier to clean, and suits an ensuite, powder room or compact bathroom particularly well.

Does a wall-hung vanity need special wall preparation?

Yes. A wall-hung unit must be anchored to solid structural support, ideally wall studs or a solid timber blocking frame installed within the wall cavity, since standard plasterboard alone won't support the combined weight of the cabinet, basin, benchtop and contents. Discussing blocking requirements with a builder or plumber before the walls are lined is essential, and a licensed plumber or carpenter should carry out the installation.

What size vanity suits my bathroom?

750mm and 900mm remain the most popular widths: 750mm suits a single ensuite or powder room, while 900mm gives a more generous benchtop and drawer space for one person in a main bathroom. For a shared bathroom, stepping up to a 1200mm or 1500mm double-basin configuration is worth considering. Standard vanities run 460mm to 550mm deep, with slimline 400mm options available for tighter spaces.

What size mirror should I hang above the vanity?

What size mirror should I hang above the vanity? A bathroom mirror should generally be the same width as the vanity, or up to 50mm to 100mm narrower. A 600mm vanity suits a 550mm to 600mm mirror, while a 1200mm double vanity suits a 1100mm to 1200mm mirror, or two individual mirrors positioned side by side.

What makes Marquis vanities a premium choice for bathrooms?

Marquis vanities are known for genuine craftsmanship, quality materials and timeless design, offering both style and function as a considered addition to any bathroom.

Are Marquis vanities suitable for small bathrooms?

Yes. Marquis offers a genuine range of compact vanities suited to a smaller bathroom or powder room, designed to maximise space without compromising on style or function.

How do I maintain a Marquis vanity?

Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and mild detergent is generally sufficient. The materials used are genuinely resistant to staining and moisture, helping the vanity hold its condition over time.

Completing the bathroom

A Marquis vanity is easiest to finalise once the basin and tapware direction are settled, since basin configuration and benchtop cut-outs both depend on those earlier decisions. The Blue Space's Basin Taps and Mirrors collections are worth reviewing alongside a Marquis selection to bring the full bathroom together.
