Bathroom vanity decision
I‘m hoping for some guidance. We’re planning to redo our whole bathroom (2400x1800) and we’re trying to decide between a 900mm wall mounted vanity (100mm wider than our current one) or a full length one (with only one sink in the same position as the current one) that will go through to our shower over bath, separated by a frameless screen. That wall is 2400 long. The door opens into the bathroom opposite the current vanity. if we go the smaller vanity we’ll get a mirrored cabinet to increase storage. One of us is worried that a full length bench top will make the room look even smaller. We have two teenage daughters, and this is our only bathroom. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Comments (7)I love those long floorboards/wood-look tiles and they are the feature so you wouldn't want something too busy on the walls... personally I would go with a larger format say 300x600 rectified edge white tile with a matt finish for the Hamptons look... what's your vanity?... a timber one would tie in nicely with the floors and all the white... very Hamptons :)...See MoreBathroom wall tile size for small bathroom: 100x300mm or 300x600m?

Comments (7)OK, no wonder the photo looked weird. The kitchen supplier would be able to do the whole thing for you, so you don't have to try to match anything and the hole for the basin could be cut into the bench top anywhere you want it. The only problem is the plumbing, the cheapest way to relocate that is by extending any pipes and that takes internal space from your vanity. Glad you have lived with the semi-recessed sink, I've heard many others complain. Have you checked out basins though - there is a good range of sizes and shapes now. I bought an off the shelf-vanity-for my main bathroom, but it was still made up fresh for me so I had the option of the colour, bench top colour, size and style of the basin and where I wanted it for no extra charge - have you double checked on that? Check out Laminex's range online and phone them for samples - they are very happy to do this. I went back to Laminex to save money on my kitchen reno and used the Diamond Gloss Polar White. It always looks stunning and I really love it now. Have you also checked the existing vanity will come out ok without damage to the wall tiles? Also is the floor tiled under the vanity - that will present problems for you if it has not been done. Theoretically it should be, just depends on whether corners may have been cut. Good luck with it all - oh to not have to think about budgets!!...See MoreMy coffee table bathroom vanity

4 years agoThanks oklouise. The wall behind the vanity is 2400 long, and we won’t be including a toilet in this room. By full length vanity I mean from the wall edge to the bath. Bath is 700mm wide, so vanity would be 1700, or 1600 which would allow gaps for hair dryer as you suggested. The window is on the 1800mm wall above the bath, away from the shower end. this is a sketch of our current layout.

Hi there.
Here is a very basic layout to show the 1600 option, the 1700 is tight! Would you consider going for a 1400 or 1200 length vanity with mirror cabinets? This will balance out the space and still give you some length but make room for say a bin or room to clean. You could put a small hand towel rail on the side of the vanity. Consider the main towel rail though, this will most likely have to go by the door but will need studs to hold.

4 years agoYou could try the following, placing the shower next to the bath will give a bigger safer bathing space and keeping the spray from the shower further from the window. I suggest a solid Nib wall between the shower and vanity so that the vanity can go wall to wall and give some privacy to the shower.
Hair dryers etc to be used in bedrooms to free up the bathroom
