Planning a bathroom renovation or looking for a change? We’ll break down the process of picking the ideal bathroom vanity unit for your space.

Step 1: Assess Your Space

Take a moment to assess your bathroom space. Consider the size of your bathroom, the layout, and the existing plumbing, water and electrical fixtures. Don’t forget to consider the windows and door clearance space!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2: Measure Twice, Purchase Once

Accurate measurements are crucial when selecting a bathroom vanity. Measure the available space for the vanity, taking into account the width, depth, and height. This will ensure that the chosen vanity fits seamlessly into your bathroom without any installation issues.

Step 3: Define your style preferences

Determine whether you prefer a modern, transitional or traditional cabinet style. This step will help narrow down your options and guide your decision-making process.

 

Step 4: Choose the Right Type of Vanity

Bathroom vanities come in various types, each catering to different needs and preferences. Common options include wall-mounted cabinets, freestanding units, and corner vanities. Bathroom wall cabinets are ideal for smaller bathrooms, creating a spacious and airy feel. Freestanding vanities offer ample storage and a classic look, while corner vanities optimize space in tight quarters.

 

Step 5: Select a Suitable Basin and Vanity Top

The basin and vanity top are key components of any bathroom vanity. Choose a basin (if not included / built in to your vanity) that complements the overall style of your bathroom – options include undermount, vessel, and integrated basins. Consider the material and colour of the bathroom basin cabinet top. Ensure that it coordinates with your chosen aesthetic and is durable enough to withstand daily use.

 

Step 6: Optimize Storage with Bathroom Cabinets and Cupboards

Efficient bathroom storage is a crucial aspect. Explore the variety of storage options available, including drawers, shelves, cabinets and bathroom cupboards. Custom bathroom storage cabinets allow you to personalize the storage space according to your specific needs. Evaluate the amount of storage you require for toiletries, towels, and other essentials.

 

Step 7: Explore Cabinet Styles and Finishes

Bathroom vanities are available in a wide range of styles and finishes. Whether you prefer a sleek, minimalist design or a more traditional look, there’s a style to suit every taste. Consider finishes such as wood, laminate, or painted surfaces, and choose a colour that complements your bathroom decor.

 

Step 8: Set a Budget and Shop Around

Once you’ve identified your preferences, set a budget for your bathroom vanity. Keep an eye out for bathroom cabinets for sale or special promotions that may help you get the best value for your investment.

 

Step 9: Complete with matching accessories

Once you’ve chosen or created your perfect bathroom vanity, add the final touches. Choose a basin (if sold separately), taps, and accessories that compliment the style and colour. Make sure everything blends seamlessly with your bathroom’s overall theme. Don’t forget a well-matched mirror to enhance the overall look.
