Should I choose a floor-standing or wall-hung vanity unit for my bathroom?
Floor-standing vanities are best if you want maximum storage and a more traditional look. Wall-hung vanities free up floor space, making the bathroom feel larger and more modern.
What clearance space is needed under wall-hung vanity units?
Most wall-hung vanities should be installed at a height that leaves at least 20–30cm of visible floor space underneath. This improves the sense of space and makes cleaning easier.
How do I measure my bathroom to ensure a vanity unit will fit?
Measure the width, depth, and height of your available space. Check for obstacles like doors, radiators, or towel rails, and make sure you allow room for drawers or doors to open fully.
Can I install a vanity unit myself, or should I hire a professional?
Flat-pack vanity units can often be assembled by confident DIYers, but if plumbing or electrical work is required, it’s recommended to hire a qualified tradesperson.
What’s the difference between countertop basin vanity units and inset basin vanity units?
Countertop basin vanities feature a basin that sits on top of the unit, creating a modern, designer look. Inset basin vanities have the basin built in, offering a more streamlined and practical option.
Vanity units are more than just storage—they define the look, feel, and functionality of your bathroom.
Floor-standing units offer more storage and presence, while wall-hung styles save floor space and create a lighter feel.
Double basins suit shared spaces, and 2-in-1 toilet and basin combos are ideal for small or cloakroom bathrooms.
