Bathroom Vanity Unit – How to Choose the Right One?
A bathroom vanity unit is the heart of any bathroom. It combines a sink, storage and style in a single piece of furniture – and choosing the right one makes an enormous difference to how your bathroom looks and functions every day. In this guide we'll walk you through everything worth considering before you buy. You can also browse our full range of bathroom vanity units right away.
1. Start With Measurements
Before you fall in love with a design, measure your bathroom. Our vanity units are available in a wide range of sizes – from 40 to 160 cm – so you'll find the perfect fit for a compact cloakroom or a generous family bathroom alike. Key dimensions to check:
- Width – available sizes: 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140 and 160 cm. A wider unit gives more storage but needs more floor space
- Depth – standard units are around 45–50 cm deep – make sure there's enough room to open the doors and move freely
- Height – factor in the space you plan to use for a mirror or wall cabinet above
- Plumbing position – confirm that the unit allows access to your waste and supply connections
2. Configurator – Design Your Bathroom Yourself
Every vanity unit in our shop has a built-in configurator that lets you choose every element of your set in just a few steps – before you place your order. The configurator lets you select:
- Unit width – from 40 to 160 cm, depending on the space available
- Worktop or basin – pick the option that suits your bathroom style and needs
- Handle colour – gold, black or chrome, with no guesswork needed
- Matching accessories – mirror, tall cabinet, wall cabinet, countertop basin – all colour-coordinated, no risk of a mismatch
No need to visit a showroom or mix and match yourself – the configurator guides you step by step so you can be sure every element fits together perfectly. Go to our vanity units with configurator and start designing.
3. Style and Finish – Match Your Bathroom
The finish sets the tone for the whole room. Our range covers several distinct style directions – from classic and timeless to bold and contemporary:
- Matt White – clean, timeless, suits virtually any style. A classic that never goes out of fashion
- Cashmere – an elegant, warm shade of beige that gives the bathroom a luxurious, inviting feel
- Sand / Beige – a soft, natural tone perfect for spa-inspired or Scandinavian-style bathrooms
- Ocean – a deep, muted colour inspired by water – modern and striking
- Wotan Oak – natural wood in a contemporary finish, warmth and style in one
- Matt Black – bold and modern, pairs beautifully with gold or chrome fittings
Whatever your preference, you'll find the perfect finish in our range. Browse all available vanity units and choose the style that inspires you.
4. What to Add via the Configurator? Storage and Accessories
A vanity unit is often the only dedicated storage in a bathroom – so it's worth planning the full set from the start. Through the configurator you can add matching pieces from the same collection to any unit:
- Tall cabinet (column unit) – ideal for towels, toiletries and supplies, available in the same finish as the main unit
- Wall cabinets – extra storage on the wall without taking up floor space
- Mirror or mirrored cabinet – matched to the collection, with optional LED lighting
- Countertop basin – if you choose a worktop instead of an integrated basin
With the configurator, every element is coordinated – no need to worry about whether colours and handles will match.
5. Configure Exactly What You Need
Rather than scrolling through hundreds of ready-made sets, our shop lets you design your bathroom precisely to your needs. Through the configurator on the product page you simply choose:
- The vanity unit in the right width and finish
- A basin or worktop – depending on your preference
- A mirror, tall cabinet or wall cabinet – if you'd like to include them
It's the ideal approach whether you're fitting a bathroom from scratch or just adding one specific piece. Go to our vanity units with configurator and start by choosing the collection that suits you.
6. Wall-Hung or Freestanding?
This is both a practical and an aesthetic decision:
- Freestanding units – stable, easier to install, suitable for most floor types
- Wall-hung units – float above the floor, making the bathroom feel larger and easier to clean. They require a solid wall
In smaller bathrooms a wall-hung unit makes a significant visual difference – the exposed floor makes the space feel more open and airy.
Summary – Pre-Purchase Checklist

- Checked the position of the plumbing connections
- Chosen a collection and finish to match the bathroom
