Wall hung bathroom units
Comments (2)Hi Daniel, The cabinets in the top photo are custom-made from Crystal Cabinetry in the US: shown is a veneer of lyptus wood over a slab substrate. Wall hung vanity units are available from Ikea and some Italian cabinetry lines. Pine cabinetry may be had, but it is a softer wood than oak or maple (and others). Maple or alder may be an alternative as each can take a light stain well. Do you have some pictures of the space you're trying to design--is it new construction or renovation? Folks might suggest some more good options for you upon seeing some context. I hope this helps. Thanks, Scott...See MoreNeed bathroom inspirations for compact bathroom
Comments (10)Hi. I'm a bit confused, have you bought the vanity and are looking to paint it? Is the rest of the bathroom fitted as you could add brass or copper taps for instance with a matching mirror? Accessories will also warm it. I like a little wooden stool in a bathroom which you can add accessories to i.e. A candle, natural sponge, flannel etc which has some texture. A plant on the window sill if you have one and then nice accessories for the sink and either some coloured towels or I like hammam ones. I've found a couple of pics but they may not post as houzz has issues :( These are using deep rich colours which may bring the cabinet towards you a little. A darker top for the vanity would also work...See MoreBathroom Wall Hung Vanity Unit
Comments (6)Something else to consider with the wall hung units and heavy tops, is the wall that you want to hang it on. If you were having a stone top then I would advise you to have the type of unit , that looks floating, but that has supports underneath to take the weight. ( Your second pic is one like that ). You will not be able to hang a unit on a stud wall, unless you can find the studs in the wall and hang it from those. A brick wall poses no problems as you will be able to put whatever supports you like on that. The weight of a top and two sinks is a lot, one sink on it's own weighs quite a bit, so do consider the 'how to hang' conundrum before you purchase something that cannot be put in to your particular bathroom....See MoreMake one bathroom smaller?

Comments (18)I've been thinking about options to cover all basis and came up with this. To allow guests to use a bath/shower the ensuite would be shared. I added a wall in the master bedroom to divide it and add privacy so guests don't have to walk into the bedroom to get to the bath/shower. The upsides are that the ensuite is larger, includes a bath and shower and has more vanity room. Also, by diving the bedroom I can add sort of a walk-in wardrobe. The downsides are that there's only one bath/shower that has to be shared and guests have to walk through the walk-in wardrobe to get to it. Also, it reduces the size of the master bedroom but it's quite a long room anyway and it would cut out the light from the windows in the bedroom. Personally I don't see these as big problems but I guess some people won't like it. Do you think this is a good idea?...See MorePip

6 years agoWe actually had ours made my a company on eBay and the chap will make to any size you want and any paint colour you want. The top is solid oak and really beautifully made. I can probably find the link if it helps.
Our room isn't done yet, just waiting for the plasterer to come and re-do all the walls, so excuse the terrible state but you'll get the general idea.
The one pic is how it arrived and clearly the other is now we've fitted a Lusso Stone matt white sink on top.
They do fully enclosed ones too, my preference was to have it open and will put some pretty baskets down at the bottom.
