A vanity unit instantly adds storage to your bathroom and creates a neat, finished look beneath your basin. This collection features over 40 models from Aloni, DutchLine and Xellanz, available in matt grey, matt black, oak and walnut finishes, from around €100.
Choosing the right vanity unit for your bathroom
Width is the most important consideration. Compact bathrooms are well served by a 36 cm unit such as the DutchLine Uludag. If you have more space, models at 60, 80 or 120 cm offer considerably more storage. Most units have a depth of around 45 or 46 cm, though you should always check this against the available floor space in front of the unit. Height varies, but 52 cm is typical for the wider Aloni models.
Choose your finish to complement the rest of the bathroom. A grey vanity unit works beautifully with concrete-effect tiles and sits neutrally alongside chrome or matt black taps. White and gloss white keep the room feeling bright and airy. Walnut and oak add warmth, but do require a dry environment, as moisture will gradually affect wood-effect finishes over time. Prices range from around €100 for a compact DutchLine to approximately €720 for a wider Aloni unit with soft-close doors and integrated lighting.
Installation: don't forget the bottle trap
One of the most common mistakes when fitting a vanity unit is discovering that the bottle trap won't fit inside the cabinet once the basin is in place. Before you begin, measure the position of your waste outlet and bottle trap, then compare these dimensions against the internal space of the unit. Many vanity units feature a cut-out panel or open back, but with a fully enclosed model you may need to cut your own access hole — always do this before fixing the unit to the wall.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good width for a vanity unit?
It depends on the space available beside and beneath your basin. A 60 cm unit is a popular size that suits most standard basins. If you need extra storage, models at 80 or 120 cm offer more capacity without making the bathroom feel cramped.
Can I pair a grey vanity unit with other colours in the bathroom?
Grey works well with white, anthracite and wood-effect finishes. With a grey unit, matt black or brushed nickel taps tend to give the most cohesive look. Polished chrome also works, though the contrast will be more pronounced.
Is a vanity unit the same as a bathroom furniture set?
Not necessarily. A vanity unit is the cabinet only, without a basin. A bathroom furniture set typically includes the basin and sometimes a mirror as well. If you already have a basin, a standalone vanity unit is the most cost-effective choice.
