Pure indulgence: a guide to vanity units
21st July 2022
The bathroom is a sacred space. It’s where we prepare for a new day, and where we seek restorative solace at the end of it, which is why it’s so important to create a space that has the power to both energise and revitalise. A luxury bathroom’s appeal is through clean lines, clutter-free surfaces, and high-functioning but visually stunning bathroom furniture. So how do you achieve a nurturing spa-like sanctuary in your own home?
Whether you are going for a complete bathroom renovation or looking to refresh your bathroom interior design, changing your bathroom basin is a game changer. If you want an easy way to transform your bathroom into a tranquil and indulgent space and enhance its functional performance, a vanity unit is the solution.
What is a vanity unit?
A vanity unit is a stylish alternative to traditional basin pedestals. A piece of bathroom furniture that not only houses the bathroom sink and provides storage, but cleverly hides the pipework too. Available in a wealth of colour and finish options and with the opportunity to choose from an inset basin, semi-recessed or countertop bathroom sink, vanity units are a versatile luxury bathroom storage solution.
Which is the best, a floorstanding or floating vanity unit?
Wall hung vanity units and floorstanding vanities have unique qualities, so it’s important you consider them not simply as an individual piece of stylish basin furniture, but as a part of the wider cohesive bathroom interior design aesthetic.
Wall hung vanities
Wall hung vanities are mounted to the wall and raised from the floor adding to the illusion of space – a minimalist contemporary basin and storage solution for any luxury bathroom where space is a premium. They also offer the opportunity for enhanced user comfort – you can install the floating vanity unit to the best ergonomic height for your needs.
Floorstanding vanity units
Floorstanding vanity units have more storage space than their floating counterparts, which makes them more appealing for busy households. But this can mean the units appear heavy and not unified within a streamlined contemporary bathroom décor.
So, which is best? The good news is your bathroom style goals do not have to be compromised. The Morley is a hybrid luxe bathroom vanity unit, combining the benefits of the floorstanding with those of the floating vanity units. With exceptional storage, custom styling for handles, basin type and finish, plus optional legs, the Morley is highly practical yet exudes your unique minimalist style – the best of bespoke contemporary bathroom furniture design.
Should you choose an inset or countertop stone basin?
Functionality should always be the greatest driver in your decision, but thankfully practicality and having a luxury bathroom design are not mutually exclusive.
