A Welcome Renaissance of Vanity Units

Vanity units are having what can only be described as a renaissance when it comes to bathroom design, with both traditional and contemporary styles coming to the forefront.

So why are they proving popular and what do they offer a consumer?

Fitting into just about any space – sizes start at just 600mm for a Bayswater Cabinet – vanity units take up pretty much the same amount of space as a pedestal basin, and yet offer added surface area and useful storage, usually in the form of doors or cupboard space beneath the basin.

As well as an impressive choice of sizes – Bayswater’s largest is 1200mm - , there’s also a great range of styles available too including modern and traditional. Modern bathroom sink units feature clean lines, concealed drawer or door handles, and glossy finishes in a variety of colours.

A traditional vanity basin unit is ideal for those who want to add class and elegance to their bathroom. These typically feature wood effect panelled doors, decorative handles and a floorstanding design. They come in a choice of natural finishes such as ivory for a timeless feel. Traditional style vanity units are also perfect for country bathrooms, and for adding a rustic touch.

Available to purchase in Farrow & Ball’s Stiffkey Blue, Plummet grey or white, it brings both interest and texture to the room with its hand painted wood finish, as well as adding warming tones that are hugely popular within interior design. Blue has been the standout colour for 2020, as picked by Farrow and Ball.

Vanity units aren’t confined to smaller spaces to make the most of storage either. For those customers lucky enough to be able to go large, they could take full advantage with a two-basin vanity unit. Adding a real sense of luxury normally found in five star hotels, double vanity units provide his and her sinks and helps to provide an escape from life's hustle and bustle.
