Vanities

Freestanding Vanities: These are independent units that rest on the floor, providing ample storage space. They are versatile and work well in larger bathrooms.

Wall-Mounted (Floating) Vanities: These are attached to the wall, creating a modern, sleek look while also saving floor space. Ideal for smaller bathrooms, wall-mounted vanities can make a room feel more spacious.

Double Vanities: Perfect for shared or larger bathrooms, double vanities provide two sinks and additional storage. They are a great option for families or couples.

Corner Vanities: These space-efficient vanities fit snugly into corners, making them ideal for compact bathrooms or powder rooms.

Measure Your Space: Ensure you have accurate measurements of your bathroom to choose a vanity that fits well. Consider the height, width, and depth to ensure the vanity complements the layout without overcrowding.

Height: Standard vanity height in Australia is typically around 850-900mm, but you can opt for custom heights based on personal preferences or user needs.

Width: Vanities come in a variety of widths, ranging from compact 600mm vanities to larger models up to 1800mm or more. Choose a size that suits your space and requirements.

Depth: Standard depths range between 450-500mm, ensuring the vanity doesn’t obstruct movement in the bathroom.

Timber and Timber-Look: Offers a natural, warm finish that’s popular in modern and classic bathroom designs. Ensure it is sealed and treated for moisture resistance.

MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard): An affordable and durable option that can be finished in various laminates and colours.

Plywood: A more durable alternative to MDF, plywood offers better water resistance, making it a good choice for high-moisture areas.

Stone (Natural or Engineered): Stone countertops like marble, granite, or engineered quartz offer a luxurious, durable finish. They are resistant to water and scratches but can be pricier.

Ceramic or Porcelain: Popular for countertops or integrated basins due to their water resistance and ease of cleaning.

Drawers vs. Cabinets: Decide whether you need more drawer space for small items or cabinet space for larger items like towels. Some vanities come with a mix of both.

Soft-Close Features: Look for vanities with soft-close drawers and doors to add a touch of luxury and prevent wear and tear.

Internal Dividers and Organizers: Many vanities come with built-in organizers, which are great for keeping small items tidy and easily accessible.

Modern: Clean lines, sleek finishes, and minimalistic handles or handle-free designs. Floating vanities are popular in modern bathrooms.

Traditional: Features such as raised panel doors, ornate hardware, and classic shapes. Timber vanities are common in traditional designs.

Hamptons or Coastal: Typically white or light-colored vanities with shaker-style doors and natural stone tops. These designs are perfect for creating a light, airy bathroom atmosphere.

Industrial: Characterized by raw materials like concrete, exposed metal accents, and darker finishes. An industrial-style vanity adds a contemporary, edgy look.

Integrated Basin: Some vanities come with built-in basins, which can simplify installation. These basins are typically made from ceramic, porcelain, or stone.

Countertop Basin: Countertop or vessel basins sit on top of the vanity, adding a stylish touch. Ensure you select tapware that is tall enough to reach over the basin.

Undermount Basin: An undermount basin is installed beneath the countertop, offering a seamless and minimalist look.

Tap Holes: Make sure the vanity and basin are compatible with the number of tap holes required by your faucet. Some modern designs may have one or no tap holes for wall-mounted tapware.

Wall-Mounted Vanities: These often require more precise plumbing work to hide pipes and create a floating effect. Make sure your plumbing is positioned to accommodate the design.

Freestanding Vanities: Easier to install since they generally allow more flexibility with plumbing placement. Always ensure there is access to water and drainage.

Basic Vanities: Starting from budget-friendly options made from MDF or laminate, these vanities provide functional design at affordable prices.

Mid-Range Vanities: These include solid materials like plywood, with better finishes, more storage options, and often come with soft-close drawers and doors.

High-End Vanities: Made from premium materials like solid timber, stone, or high-quality laminates, these vanities offer luxurious design, superior craftsmanship, and additional features like built-in lighting or mirrors.
