Built with premium plywood and featuring a sintered stone countertop, this vanity unit is made to last with a timeless aesthetic. The sturdy materials guarantee it will maintain its pristine look even with regular use.
The package includes the bathroom vanity cabinet, a slate ceramic basin, and all the necessary mounting hardware for a straightforward installation. However, the mirror is not included, allowing you to select the perfect mirror* that suits your taste and budget.
*If you like the mirror you see in the image, you can purchase the mirror here.
The sintered stone vanity top boasts an undermount white ceramic basin, which adds to its elegance and also makes cleaning easy. The smooth black colour of the vanity unit can easily blend with any modern bathroom decor, adding a touch of sophistication.
For hygiene reasons, this vanity unit is designed without an overflow hole, thereby eliminating the probability of bacteria proliferation and reducing unnecessary water spillage. Cleaning is a breeze thanks to the ceramic slate tops, which are resistant to stains and super easy to maintain.
The embedded handle design ensures a sleek and streamlined appearance while offering safety. Unlike those jut-out handles, there’s no chance of catching and ripping your pants pockets by accident. Nor will you have to worry about getting nasty cuts or bruises from accidental bumps. And you also saved valuable bathroom space. Though insignificant in the overall area size, it is huge in safety.
Moreover, the drawers are installed with buffered rails that operate smoothly and safely. When closing the drawers, it will slow down towards the end. Thus getting pinched or slammed by the drawer is no concern at all.
However, it is not a compact bathroom vanity unit. It will be a tad too big for small bathrooms. But for most regular-size bathrooms, this is a great piece of bathroom furniture to consider for its exterior and storage functionality.
If you are upgrading your bathroom, consider this wall-mounted vanity unit that combines practicality, durability, and aesthetic appeal. You will love the convenience of ample storage, easy maintenance, and a sophisticated black finish that will elevate the overall ambience of your bathroom.
This bathroom vanity unit also comes in Grey and White. Back to Top 10 Bathroom Vanity Units | TOC
800mm White Wall-Mount Bathroom Vanity Faux Marble Top Ceramic Basin
800mm White Wall-mount Floating Bathroom Vanity Faux Marble Top Ceramic Basin
PROS
CONS
The best way to describe this vanity unit is, What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG). That’s what some users claimed in their reviews. This has a lot to do with the faux marble finish, which offers a pristine look, and if well maintained, it will continue to shine for years.
The body is made of premium-grade plywood with a moisture-resistant coating that promises durability and longevity in the bathroom’s high-humidity environment. And with 2 cabinets and 2 drawers, you will have ample storage capacity for all your toiletries. They will be well-kept and protected from the aerosols of coughing, sneezing, toilet flushing and water vapour from a hot shower.
Cleaning is effortless with all the smooth surfaces. But make sure that no harsh chemicals are used or spilt onto the surfaces. For regular cleaning, a soft cloth with a mild cleaning solution or just water is good enough to keep the unit sparkling clean.
Though it claims to be scratch-resistant, it’s best to avoid using abrasive sponges to clean the faux marble surface. The faux marble surface is non-porous, so it’s not easily stained and needs scrubbing.
However, one drawback of faux marble is its susceptibility to heat. So, never place the hairdryer directly on the countertop surface immediately after use. Over time, it can cause discolouration or damage to the surface.
The other disadvantage is the countertop basin which creates a blind spot against the wall. Cleaning the area between the basin and the wall can be difficult since it is not visible easily and is hard to reach.
This vanity unit measures 800mm (W) x 400mm (D) x 420mm (H). The size should fit into any regular size (and shape) bathroom. If this is your first attempt at buying a bathroom vanity unit, you may want to get an idea about plotting your bathroom layout first to know the ideal size for a vanity.
Without the overflow feature, it makes cleaning and maintenance easier as it only means one less area to take care of. But for those who like to fill the basin with water for washing, the overflow would mean spilling water onto the countertop and floor. So, if the overflow is a must-have feature, consider swapping the sink or basin for one with an overflow.
Another feature is a pre-drilled hole for a 1.38 inches (35mm) single-hole tap (not included in the set) that offers easy installation for your chosen faucet. So don’t forget to shop for a faucet when ordering this exquisite wall hung vanity unit.
The colour option for this bathroom vanity unit is Black or White. Back to Top 10 Bathroom Vanity Units | TOC

This bathroom vanity has a nice modern vibe that serves as an excellent foundation for building a stylish and contemporary bathroom. Besides its looks, it is also designed to enhance overall bathroom hygiene. With all enclosed storage, all your personal items are protected from the bathroom’s high-humidity environment and other undesirable elements lurking in the air.
With its expansive 1000mm width, this vanity unit provides ample countertop space for everyday essentials like toothpaste, toothbrush, and hand soap. And there’s still plenty of room for decorative items or plants to liven up the space. Pair it with a mirror cabinet, and you’ll find it nearly impossible to clutter up the countertop, maintaining a clean and organised appearance.
The unit is designed with a sleek rectangular silhouette and boasts generous storage space, integrating two soft-closing full-extension solid wood drawers and a pair of cabinets. The storage capacity is ideal for organising and accommodating all your daily essentials, ensuring a safe, neat and clutter-free bathroom environment.
The stone vanity top and the undermount ceramic basin are seamlessly integrated, making cleaning the basin edge extremely easy. And the basin is pre-drilled for a 1.38 inches (35mm) single-hole tap making for an easy installation of your preferred tap choice. So remember to include the tap when ordering this 1m wide wall hung vanity unit.
Installation of this vanity set is straightforward, with minimal assembly required, providing convenience and saving valuable time. The safety aspect of the design includes smoothed and rounded countertop corners and drawers on buffer slide rails to prevent slamming and pinching incidents.
However, not all can appreciate the T-bar handle design. Though it blends well with the vanity outlook, its safety factor concerns some people. Especially for those with hyperactive kids in the house, the sharp end of the handlebar can really hurt when bumped into. So a handleless option would be perfect for those more concerned with safety than aesthetics.
And if your bathroom theme requires a light colour vanity unit to stand out, the unit has a White colour option. Back to Top 10 Bathroom Vanity Units | TOC

This wall-mounted vanity set is glowing with elegance that combines the charm of minimalism with its multifunctional grandeur, making it a versatile choice that blends well with various bathroom styles.
The integrated rectangular basin seamlessly fuses with the sintered stone countertop is evidence of good construction quality. And for added convenience, a single hole is pre-drilled, allowing you to install the tap of your choice to complete the ensemble.
And the sleek countertop is the central piece that casts the overall aesthetic and provides a practical space to store your essential items for your morning routine. From skincare products to grooming essentials, this vanity set provides a designated space for all your bathroom must-haves.
With a 900mm wide drawer, this vanity set offers ample storage capacity for clothing, toiletries, hairdryers, and other miscellaneous items. Additionally, a convenient shelf provides a perfect spot for towels, bathroom accessories, or even your favourite gadgets.
However, the mirror cabinet is not part of the deal, unfortunately.
Its dimensions of 1500mm (W) x 450mm (D) x 400mm (H) provide generous storage space, both open and enclosed, sufficient to cater to all your storage organisational needs.
The sintered stone vanity top simplifies cleaning and maintenance. It offers a smooth surface that is easy to clean with a soft cloth and water or a mild cleaning solution. That is enough to keep the vanity pristine with minimal effort.
An overflow hole in the ceramic basin is provided and is good when you need to fill the sink and not worry about water spilling out. But some people may prefer without it as they view it as an additional area to keep clean. It may be trivial to most people, but not to some with an obsession for cleanliness and germs.
The package includes a ceramic basin, a sintered stone top, and a wooden drawer, encompassing all the essential elements needed for a complete and functional vanity set. Installation is straightforward, requiring minimal assembly and ensuring a hassle-free experience. Back to Top 10 Bathroom Vanity Units | TOC

The overall design of this wall hung vanity unit is so simple you may have thought of it but unsure if it’s feasible to implement. Or, you probably gave up the idea given the high cost and long lead time usually associated with bespoke designs. Well now, you can fulfil your dream within a week, and your pocket damage is minimal.
Only a countertop basin will match the entire setup, and the overall outlook is perfect for any modern and contemporary bathroom design. The minimalists will love the design, but the pragmatic user may find the drawer a tad too shallow due to the drain piping at the rear. But it still offers ample space for your towels, rolls and other essentials that must be tucked away.
The space between the countertop and the drawer is yours to make according to your needs. However, it is important to consider the installation of the drain pipe to achieve the optimal position that allows for sufficient storage height while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
A pre-drilled hole is made for a monobloc tap, but the tap is not included in the package. So you have to buy a tap separately. And the basin does not have an overflow hole which is good because then you will have one less area to pay attention to in your cleaning routine.
It is available in two width sizes – 900mm and 1000mm– providing options for different bathroom layouts and storage requirements.
This vanity set measures 900mm (W) x 450mm (Countertop Depth), ensuring generous storage space to accommodate your belongings. And the drawer is designed with a mechanism that allows it to close smoothly and quietly. It incorporates a buffer or dampening system that ensures the drawer glides softly and closes gently without slamming shut. This design feature helps to protect the contents of the drawer and prevents any potential damage or disruption caused by abrupt closing.
Though the drawer depth is a little shallow, the 900mm or 1000mm width makes up for the lost depth. It still provides sufficient space to store and organise your essential items, allowing you to keep your items neatly tucked away and easily accessible when needed.
The package includes a ceramic countertop basin, a faux marble top, and a wooden drawer, encompassing all the necessary elements for a complete and functional vanity unit. Installation is hassle-free, requiring minimal assembly and a smooth and straightforward process.
This vanity unit has 3 colour options – White and Natural, White and Black, White and Walnut.
Love the design but would prefer a dark colour countertop? No problem, here you go.

If you’re looking to break away from traditional wall hung vanity unit designs, this particular bathroom furniture may just satisfy your expectations. Its unique selling point is its flexible design, allowing it to fit effortlessly into any space.
This unit can be customised to suit your preferences with an adjustable width of 800mm to 1500mm. Whether you prefer it on the left or right or stacked to resemble other wall hung vanity basin units, you can configure it as desired.
Overall Dimensions: 800mm-1500mm (W) x 500mm (D) x 580mm (H)
However, to achieve the exact look shown in the image, a wall-to-wall space of at least 1500mm wide is required, and more space may be needed if you have fixtures like a toilet beside. This ensures optimal open storage space and maintains the desired aesthetics.
The dark grey exterior exudes an aura that uplifts any boring bathroom decor to one that’s modern and minimalistic. Its elegance is further enhanced by the integrated single ceramic basin and premium pure white ceramic countertop. And the side handlebars spell intensively of one classy piece of bathroom furniture.
One drawback here is water can spill onto the top of the bottom drawer adding extra effort to clean and keep dry. Especially when the water flow is strong, it’ll cause splashing. In that case, you may want to use an aerator or water flow restrictor to tone down the flow. Or a waterfall tap can be a good idea to minimise splashing.
The smooth ceramic vanity top and ample wooden surface provide plenty of space for your daily necessities. In terms of functionality, the unit includes two spacious drawers, providing ample hidden storage for items like fresh towels, cleaning supplies, and other essentials.
This vanity is made from high-end ceramic that promises durability and is easy to clean.
Installation is made easy with a pre-drilled hole for a single-hole tap, saving you from investing in special drill bits and delicate drilling to avoid cracking the ceramic top. And you either hate or love it, as this unique wall hung vanity unit comes with a basin that has an overflow hole.
Overall, the vanity includes a ceramic integrated basin, and two full-extension recessed drawers fitted with soft-close hardware, all of which are easy to install with minimal assembly required.
Do note that the mirror, tap, and bathroom shelving shown in the image are not included in the set. There are no other colour options other than grey. Back to Top 10 Bathroom Vanity Units | TOC

If you have a penchant for white or light-themed decor, you may occasionally find an all-white bathroom to be a bit monotonous. Adding a touch of texture and a hint of pastel colour can bring vibrancy and contrast to the space, breaking away from the uniformity of white.
This vanity unit blends well with a dark-colour theme as well.
In this regard, this wall hung vanity unit could be the perfect solution. The beige cabinet it features adds depth and layers to any white-dominated bathroom. Enhanced by a small cabinet and top holder in the middle cuts a perfect symmetry between the 2 drawers with extra storage space for shampoos and other bottled essentials.

By incorporating this vanity unit, you are making a fashion statement and showcasing your voguish sense of style. It’s a subtle yet impactful way to infuse personality and visual interest into your bathroom decor. It’s a great way to start your day with your loved ones at this wall hung double vanity unit.
Measuring 1600mm (W) x 450mm (D) x 470mm (H), this vanity holds 2 large soft-closing drawers and a small but deep side cabinet. You will have ample concealed storage space to accommodate your towels, rolls, hair dryer and other personal items. Plus, a countertop holder to stash your morning routine essentials.
However, the countertop holder needs to be cleaned and kept dry regularly. It is set between the 2 basins so it can collect water and dirt that may lead to mould and bacteria growth if left unattended. Besides this little imperfection, the unit is still easy to clean and maintain. A quick wipe and dry that takes less than 5 minutes a week is good enough to keep this vanity unit pristine.
The ceramic vanity top is pre-drilled for a single-hole tap, offering convenience for whoever is doing the installation. And the white ceramic basins come with an overflow hole that helps regulate the water level and prevent accidental spills or flooding.
Any experienced installer should be able to breeze through the installation as the set requires minimal assembly that ensures a straightforward setup process. And like the other vanity units featured here, the set does not include the tap and mirror. Back to Top 10 Bathroom Vanity Units | TOC

Don’t be confused by the image above that shows a double basin unit. This vanity has 2 versions, a single and double basin design. The 2-basin model is 300mm wider and perfect for the main bedroom if there is sufficient width, including clearance space. You will have more storage space, and you and your spouse can use it simultaneously during rush hour, saving precious time.
The white ceramic countertop basin, black marble top, and rustic grey cabinet create a cool and stylish vibe that will fit into any modern and contemporary bathroom theme. Both designs come with three large drawers that offer generous hidden storage for towels, cleaning supplies and more.
However, it’s important to note that although the spacious wooden top provides additional storage space, it is not recommended to place any items there. Open storage in the bathroom raises hygiene concerns and can contribute to a cluttered and less visually appealing space. Therefore, it is best to keep the top empty, allowing for easy cleaning and maintaining a neat and organised look.
This distinctive arrangement is destined to become the centrepiece of your bathroom. The countertop and drawer appear to hover in place, exuding a zen-like tranquillity permeating the room. It creates an atmosphere of serenity and calm, transforming your bathroom into a haven of relaxation and peace. After a demanding day, this oasis becomes an inviting sanctuary where you can unwind and relieve stress.
The dimension for this single basin wall hung vanity unit is 1220mm (W) x 550mm (D) x 250mm (H).
As usual, the vanity top is pre-drilled for a monobloc tap which you will have to purchase separately. And the basin does not have an overflow, so you have to be mindful not to leave the tap on with the waste shut and walk away. The mirror is also not included in the set.
The package includes one ceramic countertop basin, a marble top, and three full-extension, soft-closing recessed drawers, offering all the necessary components for a complete vanity setup.
This vanity set does not offer other colour options. It is available only in a rustic grey finish for the wood drawer, white ceramic basin, and black marble top. Back to Top 10 Bathroom Vanity Units | TOC

The overall dimension of this bathroom cabinet vanity is 600mm (W) x 420mm (D) x 640mm (H).
For the convenience of installation, the vanity top is pre-drilled for a 35mm single-hole tap or faucet.

If weight is the main reason that holds you back from having a wall hung vanity unit, you may want to consider this vanity set. It is constructed with aluminium alloy, which gives its lightweight body and sturdiness. And aluminium is much more durable than wood with its intrinsic water-resistant property. At the same time, if you want to be least concerned with rust, decay, or any damage caused by water, this is made for you.
PLUS, it’s a lot more economical than those wood-based bathroom cabinets and sink units.
This vanity set features a ceramic drop-in sink and mounting hardware for easy wall-mount installation. It combines practicality with convenience. Its timeless design makes it a versatile choice that complements any modern-style bathroom decor. With its evergreen exterior, this bathroom vanity offers a classic and enduring aesthetic that will remain stylish and relevant for years.
Apart from its elegant exterior, this vanity set boasts generous cabinet storage for all your toiletries, towels, and other bathroom essentials. The ceramic countertop is thoughtfully designed with smooth, rounded corners, ensuring safety and making cleaning a breeze.
Moreover, the counter surface area offers just the right space to accommodate a handwash lotion, a decorative item, or a plant for a neat look. Of course, there is enough space to ‘squeeze’ in more items, but that will certainly lead to counter clutter.
The cabinet door is designed to be splashproof to protect the content from mould and moisture. At the same time, maintaining a fresh and clean appearance always. However, the ridged surface of the doors and sides can easily collect dust. Fortunately, it is fairly easy to maintain and clean with a dry rag and a spray bottle with water or a mild cleaner.
Pre-drilled for a 1.38 in. single-hole faucet for installation convenience, and the basin has an overflow feature to prevent water from flowing onto the countertop and floor.
There are 3 sizes or widths to choose from. They are 710mm, 910mm and 1010mm. The height and depth are uniform across the 3 widths – 450mm and 470mm. However, the usual pet peeve is, it is only available in one colour, Black. Or perhaps it is more like Dark Brown, according to some users.
Advantages of Wall Hung Vanity Unit Compared to Freestanding Vanity Unit
Wall hung vanity units and floor-mounted vanity units each has their own sets of advantages and drawbacks. Here are some advantages of wall hung vanity units compared to floor-mounted vanity units:
Space Efficiency. Wall hung vanity unit is generally more space-efficient, particularly in small bathrooms. Because they’re mounted on the wall, they ‘float’ and create a feeling of space. They can make a small bathroom feel more open and spacious.
Height Flexibility. The height of a wall hung vanity unit can be customised according to the user’s preference. This can be particularly helpful for people with unique height requirements, such as taller individuals or those with disabilities.
Easy Cleaning. Wall hung units make cleaning the bathroom floor easier, as you can mop or sweep right under the unit without obstructions. This can also reduce the chance of mould or mildew building up in corners that are hard to reach.
Modern Aesthetics. Wall hung vanity units offer a sleek, modern aesthetic that many people find appealing. They can give your bathroom a more minimalist and contemporary look.
Accessible Plumbing. In some cases, the plumbing under a wall hung vanity is easier to access than under a freestanding vanity, which can simplify repairs and maintenance.
Potential for Additional Storage. Though this depends on the specific unit, some wall hung vanity designs allow storage baskets or shelving units to be placed underneath, giving you the option of additional storage without taking up more floor space.
Of course, your choice should ultimately depend on your preferences, your bathroom’s design, and your specific space, storage, and aesthetics needs. It’s worth considering these factors when deciding between a wall hung vanity unit and a floor-mounted unit. TOC
Disadvantages of Wall Hung Vanity Units
While wall hung vanity units offer many benefits, they also have some potential disadvantages you may want to consider before installing them. Here are some of the potential drawbacks:
Installation. Wall hung units can be more difficult and time-consuming to install than floor-mounted units. They need to be properly mounted on the wall with the right hardware and brackets to ensure they can safely hold the unit’s weight, plus whatever it stores.
Wall Strength. Not all walls can support the weight of a wall hung vanity unit. If the wall is not strong enough or the vanity is not correctly installed, it could potentially pull away from the wall and cause damage.
Plumbing Adjustments. In some cases, plumbing may need to be relocated to suit the design of a wall hung unit. This could add complexity and cost to the installation process.
Less Storage Space. While some wall-mounted units offer ample storage, they may generally provide less space than floor-mounted units, particularly those that aim for a minimalist or streamlined look.
Cost. Wall hung vanity units can sometimes be more expensive than their floor-mounted counterparts, particularly when considering the installation cost and any necessary plumbing alterations.
Remember, these are potential disadvantages, and much depends on the specifics of the unit you choose, the nature of your bathroom, and the quality of the installation. TOC

Provides Ample Storage
One of the primary advantages of a vanity unit is the additional storage it provides.

Improved Aesthetics And Ambience
Vanity units offer diverse designs, materials, and finishes, allowing you to select a style that harmonises with your bathroom décor.

Important Considerations Before Purchase
Before investing in a bathroom vanity unit, it’s crucial to consider a few key factors to ensure that you make the right choice for your specific needs. Whether you want to enhance the aesthetics or seek functional bathroom storage, evaluating these pre-purchase factors can save you from regrets and frustrations later.
Assessing Available Space
Before making a purchase, measuring the area where the vanity unit will be placed is important. Consider both the width and depth of the space, ensuring enough room for the vanity unit to fit comfortably without obstructing other fixtures or creating a cramped environment.
By accurately assessing the available space, you can select a vanity unit that meets your storage needs and style preferences and fits perfectly within your bathroom layout. Leave ample clearance around the vanity unit for easy movement and access to other bathroom essentials.
Style And Design
The style and design of a bathroom vanity unit play a crucial role in creating the desired aesthetic appeal and harmonising with the overall bathroom décor. Consider your bathroom’s existing theme or style when considering style and design.
Whether you prefer a modern, traditional, or contemporary look, choose a vanity unit that complements the overall ambience and enhances the visual appeal of the space. Pay attention to details such as the vanity unit’s shape, colour, and finish, ensuring it aligns with your taste and desired bathroom atmosphere.
You can create a cohesive and visually pleasing bathroom environment by selecting a vanity unit that blends seamlessly with the existing décor.
Storage Needs
Assessing your storage needs is essential when choosing a bathroom vanity unit. Consider the items you typically keep in your bathroom, such as toiletries, towels, cleaning supplies, and other essentials.
Determine how much storage space you need to keep these items organised and easily accessible. Consider features like drawers, shelves, or cabinets offered by the vanity unit to accommodate your storage needs.
Having a vanity unit with ample storage capacity can help declutter your bathroom and create a tidy and functional space. By evaluating your storage requirements, you can choose a basin unit that balances aesthetics and practicality for your bathroom.
A cluttered and untidy bathroom is never comfortable to clean and groom yourself. So start exploring some bathroom storage ideas, and you can’t go wrong with a basin unit with ample storage space.
Durability and Quality
When selecting a bathroom vanity unit, durability and quality are paramount considerations. Since the bathroom is a space exposed to moisture and frequent use, choosing a vanity unit made from high-quality materials that can withstand these conditions is essential.
Look for materials like solid wood, engineered wood, or moisture-resistant MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard), known for their durability and resistance to warping or damage from humidity. Additionally, pay attention to the construction and craftsmanship of the vanity unit, ensuring it is sturdy and built to last.
Investing in a durable and high-quality vanity unit will ensure its longevity and provide a reliable and functional addition to your bathroom for years.
Budget Considerations
Budgeting is what really influences your decision when choosing a bathroom vanity unit. Determine the amount you are willing to spend, and remember that prices can vary widely depending on factors such as materials, size, brand, and additional features.
Setting a budget range helps narrow down your options and prevents overspending. While opting for the most luxurious or feature-rich vanity basin unit is tempting, finding a balance between quality and affordability is important.
Explore different options within your budget range, considering the durability, design, and functionality offered by each. A carefully considered budget will lead to a pragmatic decision in getting a vanity unit that meets your requirements and prevent impulsive buying.
Installation and Maintenance
Before committing to a purchase, consider the installation and maintenance requirements. Determine whether the basin combo unit comes pre-assembled or requires assembly upon delivery. Some may require professional installation, which means additional cost, while others offer straightforward DIY installation options. Consider your own capabilities and preferences when it comes to installation.
And take into account the maintenance needs of the basin cabinet. Different materials and finishes may require specific cleaning methods or regular upkeep. Look for one that is easy to clean and maintain, allowing you to keep it in pristine condition over time.
Understanding the installation process and maintenance requirements upfront will help ensure a hassle-free experience and long-lasting satisfaction with your chosen sink cabinet. TOC
Custom-Made Vanity Unit for a Truly Personalised Bathroom Design
While ready-made units provide convenience and a range of pre-designed styles, opting for a bespoke vanity unit offers many benefits that cater to your tastes and requirements. But you will need a bigger budget as bespoke designs usually cost much more than those factory produced.
Choosing a custom-made vanity unit allows you to create a unique look that reflects your style.
Unlike mass-produced options, a bespoke basin cabinet unit allows you to collaborate with designers or artisans to bring your vision to life. The possibilities are virtually endless, and the process is fun, from selecting materials, finishes, and sizes to including personalised features.
The key advantage of a customised unit is the ability to align with your layout plan and dimensions regardless of area shape and size. The seamless integration offers not only the desired aesthetics but also the functionality of your choosing. No wasted space or compromise on the design!
Moreover, customising a vanity unit offers the freedom to incorporate design elements that reflect your personality and style. You can choose from extensive materials, such as reclaimed wood, sleek glass, or luxurious marble, ensuring your vanity unit stands out as a true statement piece. You can also include personalised touches like integrated lighting, built-in organisers, or even custom engravings, adding a distinctive flair that is truly yours.
While off-the-shelf options provide convenience and a quicker turnaround time, a bespoke vanity unit is about creating a bathroom space that meets your style preferences and usage requirements. There are no I-can-live-with-that compromises. It also offers a level of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and exclusivity that can’t be replicated by mass-produced units.
So, if you’re contemplating a bathroom design that goes beyond the ordinary and desires a truly personalised touch, consider embracing the uniqueness of a custom-made vanity unit. Let loose your imagination and creativity as you create a bathroom that is a testament to your individuality and style. TOC
