Ten Modern and Traditional Vanity-Unit Ideas

A vanity unit combines the most-used basin area with valuable storage. The best format depends on room width, plumbing, cleaning access and what the household needs to keep close at hand.

1. Compact wall-hung unit

Keeps the floor visible and suits smaller rooms.

2. Deep single-drawer unit

Provides accessible storage, but check the internal waste cut-out.

3. Double-drawer unit

Separates everyday items and makes better use of vertical space.

4. Floor-standing unit

Creates a more substantial appearance and can suit traditional schemes.

5. Framed Shaker vanity

Adds classic detail while retaining contemporary storage.

6. Fluted contemporary unit

Introduces texture; confirm how the grooves should be cleaned.

7. Countertop-basin console

Offers flexibility in basin shape, but total working height must be calculated.

8. Double vanity

Supports two users where the room, plumbing and circulation are generous enough.

9. Asymmetric vanity

Places useful worktop space beside the basin and can suit an offset layout.

10. Bespoke-width arrangement

Filler panels or modular furniture can create a fitted appearance where walls are not perfectly square.

Details to confirm

Check overall projection, door and drawer clearances, basin and tap compatibility, waste access, wall strength and resistance to water around exposed edges. Bathwise can help compare the full combination before services are fixed.
