In the market for a new aesthetically pleasing yet equally practical vanity unit? Floorstanding solutions offer the best of both worlds…

If you are looking to breathe life back into your space, the vanity unit is one of the key design elements which can help complete the look of your bathroom. “Floorstanding vanity units are a popular choice among homeowners, offering a range of key benefits,” says Jorge Hernandez, head of design at Crosswater. “They provide more storage space than wall-mounted units, utilising the full base for cabinets and drawers. This makes them ideal for storing bathroom essentials, particularly in smaller bathrooms with limited space.

“Additionally, floorstanding units are typically more stable than wall-mounted alternatives, securely anchored to the floor to minimise the risk of shifting,” he explains.

Thanks to the wide variety of styles, sizes, shades, and shape options available these days, you are bound to find a design to suit your scheme. However, there are a few practicalities to keep in mind, which will help make choosing a new floorstanding vanity unit a breeze. “When choosing a floorstanding vanity unit, prioritise longevity and quality,” advises Fabrizia D’Autilia, trade marketing manager UK and global projects at Villeroy & Boch. “Beyond durability, consider colour and functionality.

“Muted, earthy tones inspired by nature, such as olive or sand, create a sophisticated yet inviting ambience, while wood finishes add warmth. Ensure the vanity unit offers ample storage, sturdy construction, and easy maintenance for everyday convenience.”
