Bathroom Vanity Units
1. Open Shelf Freestanding Vanity Units
A freestanding vanity with an open shelf will create an airy feel and provide space for decorative baskets or towels, blending functionality and aesthetics to perfection.
The installation of open shelving is also simple, as complex fittings or alignments aren’t needed.
Recommended Product:
The strong and dependable Jasmine Floor-standing Cashmere Vanity Unit with LED Lights is made from solid MDF wood.
The convenient feature of this vanity unit includes two deep drawers with motion-sensor LED lights and soft-closing runners.
The open shelf below the two drawers makes it easy to locate your items. In addition, the optional features include a black tap and waste.
2. Integrated Lighting Under Wall-Hung Vanity
You can easily install integrated LED lighting underneath a wall-hung vanity.
Depending on the vanity unit you choose, it may take some planning. While the installation is relatively simple for a rectangular-shaped unit, it’s trickier if the vanity is more stylised.
The main advantage of installing integrated LED lighting underneath a wall-hung vanity unit is that it provides safe, reliable night-time lighting.
Under vanity lighting is especially useful if there are young children and older adults in your household.

The value-for-money unit comes with sturdy wall-fixing brackets. The lighting pack includes an LED strip, motion sensor, and transformer.
Your family members and guests will no longer have to grope around in darkness, as the LED light is activated as soon as the bathroom door is opened.
3. Classic Double Sink Vanity Units
A double-sink vanity unit is designed to fulfil the needs of individual family members, providing each one with separate personal space and storage. It can be a huge time-saver, especially during rush hour.
Since a double-sink vanity unit contains two sinks and provides more counter space compared to a normal single-sink vanity unit, it allows two people to get ready simultaneously.
Combination Products:
a. The two luxury sit-on basins of the Sonix White Double Vanity Unit with Solid Oak Worktop and the two optional basin taps add an element of high-end design.
The adhesive feature of the LED lighting strip makes it easy to stick it on the tops of drawers or the underside of the vanity unit, ensuring fast installation.
b. The timeless Forzalaqua Roma Natural Stone Basin Cloudy Marble is a true statement piece.
The flawlessly round shape of the hand-sculpted twin stone basins will add splendour and sophistication to your bathroom.
Bathroom Storage and Cabinets
4. Space-Saving Bathroom Tallboy Storage
A tallboy is the best storage solution to effectively maximise the wall space in your bathroom.
Tallboys are available in an assortment of aesthetically pleasing styles and designs. Since this fixture takes up minimal wall and floor space but provides generous storage, you can use it to eliminate clutter.
Recommended Product:

The grey unit can complement a range of matching Patello bathroom furniture.
5. Mirrored Cabinet as Additional Storage
A mirrored cabinet is typically installed above the sink or vanity unit, offering a fashionable solution to your storage needs.
Most modern mirrored cabinets are multi-functional, as they serve as an all-in-one unit: a mirror, storage cabinet, and light.
Combination Products:
a. The 2-door Grove Mirror Cabinet with Open Shelves provides spacious internal storage. The reversible design unit is supplied fully assembled for quick installation.
b. The space-saving Grove Basin and Toilet Combination Vanity Unit gives you maximum flexibility. The mirrored cabinet and a matching tallboy are optional fixtures.
6. Bathroom Bench with Storage
Comfortable seating is the most overlooked element in a bathroom. And extra storage space could also be useful.
So, a bathroom bench is the perfect fixture, as it offers both comfortable seating and added storage underneath the seat. In this space, you can keep bath essentials, such as towels, shampoos, shower gels, and lotions.

Cloakroom Furniture
7. Stylish Corner Sink Vanity Units
If you consider a typical cloakroom layout, corners are often overlooked. But these spaces are precisely where a corner sink vanity unit can be accommodated to present your cloakroom with a sleek, compact look.
Additionally, installing a corner sink vanity unit is the best way to add a distinctive touch and personality to your cloakroom.

Fitted Bathroom Furniture
9. Versatile Fitted Bathroom Furniture
Adaptability and flexibility are at the core of modular furniture, as these units allow for a versatile and seamless wall-to-wall installation.
Think of the different fixtures – washbasin, toilet, vanity unit, etc. – as a set of building blocks for your bathroom. Hence, regardless of the dimensions of your bathroom, you can blend these blocks together and match them to fit flawlessly.

For instance, you could combine a sleek, modern vanity with a vintage mirror for a touch of contrast.
