Bathroom Wall Hung Vanity Unit

6 years ago

Hi,We are currently trying to do our main bathroom and are looking for a long double sink vanity unit. Most of the ones stocked in bathroom shops look cheap, even though they aren't! We are thinking of a light wood finish preferably with a stone / composite top. Sounds silly but we are struggling to find one that isn't £100 to the other extreme £15k. Any suggestions on where to get one designed / made or even off the shelf?Thanks again,Ed

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.

I'd decide on which specific basin you prefer, choose the top and then ask a joiner to make the cupboards and fit the top.

what colours will go with this vanity unit in my bathroom?
Q

My personal preference is only to tile the necessary areas in a bathroom especially in the UK, a totally tiled bathroom will feel much colder and harder. It's also possible to wallpaper in a bathroom as long as the ventilation is good and you coat the wallpaper in a wallpaper matt varnish, 4 coats rolled on will protect it (see pic.). The bathroom scheme all depends on your personal preference and how you want it to feel e.g. calm and serene or dramatic and exciting. Match in the vanity colour (see tips from Man About The House) for a calm palette.

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

how about continue boxing all the way to the window and use it to house concealed shower pipes and taps also. adding a niche for shampoo and soaps / candles. to have a mirror cabinets above the sink and toilet and under sink cabinet. also fill the gap on the other side of the bath adding a cabinet for laundry / cleaning stuff.
