Vanities 650mm - 950mm

Bathroom Vanities, 650mm to 950mm, Buying Guide

This size bracket covers the most common range for a main bathroom or ensuite, wide enough for genuine bench and drawer space while staying well within a standard room's wall length.

Choosing between 650mm and 950mm

650mm sits at the tighter end of the bracket, workable in a smaller ensuite where floor or wall space is genuinely limited. 950mm gives noticeably more bench and storage without yet needing the floor space a double vanity requires, a practical upgrade for a main bathroom used by one person at a time.

Choosing wall-hung or freestanding

Wall-hung vanities mount directly to the wall, leaving the floor clear underneath for a more spacious feel and genuinely easier cleaning. Freestanding vanities sit on the floor, generally offering deeper drawers and greater overall storage, suited to a more traditional bathroom.

A closer look at named products

Timberline's range is genuinely extensive at this size, spanning Bargo, Nevada, Nevada Plus, Nevada Plus Classic, Kingsley, Victoria, Oxbow, Saba and the Sutherland House collection (in Deco, Farmhouse, Regency and Retro styles), with tops including Silksurface, Alpha Ceramic, Regal Acrylic and a SilkSurface Box Top. Marquis's Pier, Cove and Tide, the latter a genuine Blue Space exclusive, round out the wall-hung and freestanding range. ADP's Petite Rail, Clifton and Waverley bring a further considered option at this size. Turner Hastings' Coventry, in 75cm and 90cm single-bowl configurations, pairs with a genuine white marble top for a more classic, statement finish.

Made to order versus off the shelf

Because these vanities are built to order, finish, handle style and configuration can be adjusted to the room rather than settling for the closest stock size, a genuine advantage over an imported, fixed-dimension alternative.

Choosing a benchtop

Alpha Ceramic gives a classic, moulded top-and-basin-in-one, genuinely easy to clean with no seams. Silksurface and Regal Acrylic bring a stone-look surface paired with a separate basin. White marble, available on Turner Hastings' Coventry range, brings genuine natural stone character for a more traditional or heritage-leaning bathroom.

What is a wall hung bathroom vanity and what are the benefits?

A wall hung bathroom vanity (also called a floating or wall-mounted vanity) is a cabinet fixed directly to the wall rather than sitting on the floor. The key benefits include a more spacious, modern aesthetic, since the floor stays visible underneath, and considerably easier cleaning, since the space beneath can be swept or mopped straight through. Wall hung vanities work particularly well in ensuites, powder rooms and compact bathrooms.

Do wall hung vanities require special wall preparation before installation?

Yes. Unlike a floor-standing vanity, a wall hung vanity must be anchored to solid structural support, ideally wall studs or a solid timber blocking frame installed within the wall cavity. Since the vanity carries the weight of the cabinet, basin, benchtop and everything stored inside it, standard plasterboard alone isn't sufficient. Discussing blocking requirements with a builder or plumber before the walls are lined is essential, and a licensed plumber or carpenter should always carry out the installation.

What height should a wall hung vanity be installed at?

The standard installation height for a wall hung vanity in Australia is approximately 850mm from the finished floor to the top of the benchtop, adjustable to suit the household, lowered slightly for shorter users or children, or raised to around 900mm for taller adults.

What size wall hung vanity do I need for my bathroom?

The most popular wall hung vanity sizes in Australian bathrooms are 750mm and 900mm wide, with 750mm suiting a single ensuite or powder room and 900mm giving a more generous benchtop and drawer space for one person in a main bathroom. Standard vanities run 460mm to 550mm deep, with slim 400mm options available for tighter spaces.

What size mirror should I hang above a 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 900mm vanity suits an 800mm to 900mm mirror. Height is flexible, with most bathroom mirrors sitting between 700mm and 900mm tall depending on ceiling height and personal preference.

What is a shaving cabinet and how is it different from a bathroom mirror?

A shaving cabinet is a recessed or surface-mounted wall cabinet with a mirrored door on the front. Unlike a flat bathroom mirror, a shaving cabinet provides internal storage for medicines, razors, skincare products and other bathroom essentials, and many current models feature integrated LED lighting and a demister pad.

What size shaving cabinet do I need?

Shaving cabinets typically range from 450mm to 1200mm wide. For a single-basin vanity in the 650mm to 950mm range, a 600mm to 750mm cabinet is a popular match. Depth matters too, with most cabinets running 100mm to 150mm deep, enough for most toiletry storage.

Completing the bathroom

A vanity in this size range is easiest to finalise once the basin and tapware direction are settled, since top material and taphole configuration both depend on those earlier decisions. For a wider option, the Blue Space's 1000mm - 1800mm Vanities collection is worth reviewing, alongside Basin Taps and Mirrors to bring the full bathroom together.
