Extra Long Bathroom Vanity
Guide To Vanity Units
What is a Vanity Unit?
A bathroom vanity unit is a piece of furniture combining the bathroom basin with a useful storage cabinet. These units are specifically designed for the bathroom environment. An environment that's more humid and challenging to endure.
If it's floor standing furniture, most bathroom manufacturers will use a waterproof base (such as Burlington). Or they'll use a water-resistant coating and smart, enduring materials (such as VitrA, Crosswater and Villeroy and Boch).

Wall Hung Vanity Units
Wall-mounted sink units have a lovely modern and clean aesthetic. They tend to be more contemporary in style and come in a wide range of styles and finishes. The wall-hung design lifts the unit off the floor. This creates the illusion of space in any bathroom. Units can be complimented with the addition of LED lighting. Adding interest and depth to any bathroom design.
The image above illustrates the lovely illumination on the VitrA Frame furniture shown here in stylish black.
An increasing number of wall hung units now have illumination. For example the Legato range from Villeroy and Boch and bathroom furniture from brands such as Crosswater and Vitra.
Floor Standing Vanity Units
Floor standing sink units tend to be more traditional in style and suited to Victorian Bathrooms. There are more modern designs available often with a sit on vanity basin. Floor-standing units tend to have doors rather than drawers and internal shelves to make the most of the unit's shape. Look for features such as soft closing hinges and illumination for a luxe feel.

Built-in Bathroom Furniture
Burlington fitted furniture as in the image above is functional and stylish, finished with a Burlington worktop
Built in bathroom furniture is floorstanding and designed to be fitted in a "run" of units, often with a single countertop across the top. This is a lovely way to create a well-coordinated bathroom with plenty of storage space. We offer fitted furniture in both modern and traditional styles from Roper Rhodes, Burlington and many more brands. Contact us for more details on fitted furniture!
Roper Rhodes make a wide range of lovely fitted furniture ranges from modern to traditional and industrial bathroom styles, featured above the Burford.
Traditional Vanity Units
Bathroom units in a traditional style tend to be floor mounted. However, some contemporary units are wall-mounted for a fresh take on the classical look such as those from Imperial Bathrooms.
Illustrated above is the charming Burlington wall hung curved wall vanity unit
Shaker style doors and traditional wood grains feature. There are also lovely painted finishes with optional gold handles. The popular VitrA Valarte collection comes in a wide range of sizes either wall-mounted or floor standing.

Vanity Washstands
Washstands are increasingly popular. We offer traditional bathroom washstands from Burlington, Imperial, Victoria + Albert and VitrA. For a stunning black bathroom look, VitrA and Britton produce modern washstand designs. We have plenty of size and finish options - small cloakroom washbasin stands to double sized washstands such as the 1200mm Burlington washstand.
Washstands come in more traditional styles but also beautiful contemporary designs such as the VitrA Plural range illustrated above
Vanity Units for Cloakrooms
The image above shows the clever design of the Crosswater Zion cloakroom unit which is compact in-depth but move the tap to the side.
Cloakroom vanity units are often cleverly designed with compact basins and smart shapes. Often the tap position is moved to the side so not to lose hand washing space. These smarter designs can also be used with a standard basin tap - rather than a cloakroom mixer (which has a shorter projection).
Vanity Units for Small Bathrooms
Illustrated here is the Villeroy and Boch Avento unit for small bathrooms, with a soft closing drawer and well-proportioned basin
Small sink units are sometimes a little more compact but not to the extent of cloakroom units. These sink units can be wall hung or floor-standing. They tend to be 500mm or under and have a smaller washbasin suitable for washing rather than hand washing only. They make good use of space in smaller widths.
Vanity Units for Countertop
Crosswater Infinity is a gorgeous bathroom collection with a huge range of options!
Countertop vanity units are a real eye-catcher in bathroom design and allow you to showcase a countertop basin. For example, the Crosswater Infinity range can be built to your requirements from component parts and finished with one of their stunning worktops. Worktop finishes such as marble and an assortment of wood grains are popular. Use a coloured bathroom countertop basin for an up to date, elegant bathroom look.
