Choosing your Bathroom Vanity Unit - Where to start?

Although a smaller space than your Kitchen, the Bathroom Vanity does need careful consideration and planning to get right first time. This crucial element of your bathroom design plays a significant role in defining the overall aesthetic and functionality of the space. With limited room to work with, it is essential to maximise every inch while still maintaining a visually pleasing design. From selecting the right materials to ensuring ample storage, each decision must be made thoughtfully to create a bathroom vanity that is both beautiful and practical.

  1. When thinking of your space, it is essential to consider who will be using it and how they will utilise it. By taking into account factors such as age, mobility, and daily routines you can distinguish whether you need one sink or two sinks in your ensuite for example. You also need to consider how you will be using your vanity. If you are someone who likes to do their makeup and hair, you’ll want more counter space and storage to accommodate supplies.


2. Plumbing will dictate where your vanity will be located. Moving the plumbing is not impossible but it does depend on the budget you have set aside for the overall project. Keeping your original plumbing will help you narrow down the styles which will work for you.

3. There are a few things you’ll need to consider when choosing the size of your new vanity unit..

  • If your bathroom door swings inwards, will this hit the vanity?

  • Are you opting for a shower with a door instead of a curtain? This is another swing you should account for when deciding where to place your vanity.

  • Do you want the vanity in front of, beside, or far from the toilet?

  • Your vanity shouldn’t make navigating the rest of your bathroom a bother. If you’re constantly bumping into it trying to avoid something else, it’s not practical.

4. Sure a smaller bathroom is more of a challenge? But that doesn’t stop you from getting a unit which will provide you with all the basics you need.
