Considering installing a wall hung vanity in your new bathroom
In this article, we’ll take you through some of the main reasons to choose a wall hung vanity in your bathroom and how Builders Discount Warehouse can help.
What is a Wall Hung Vanity?
As the name suggests, a wall hung vanity is installed directly onto your bathroom wall. It does not touch the floor like more traditional vanities and some options can be customised to suit your needs and design preferences.
Why Install a Wall Hung Vanity?
There are several benefits to installing a wall hung vanity in your bathroom. Here, we’ll go through them in more detail.
Space & Size
When designing bathrooms, we talk a lot about the illusion of space – particularly if you’re working with a smaller bathroom. Wall hung vanities don’t just create the illusion of space but actually provide you with space.
Depending on the size you choose, wall hung vanities can be much smaller than their floor-based counterparts.
Choice
Wall hung vanities offer you choice. There are a range of options to choose from and versatility when it comes to size, shape and even colour. You can view the range of wall hung vanities Builders Discount Warehouse has available here.
Fresh
The use of wall hung vanities is becoming increasingly popular, which can be both a good and bad thing. While wall hung vanities are often favoured in modern, sleek designs, you don’t necessarily have to forgo your feeling of luxury and cosiness by including one in your bathroom.
We prefer to think of wall hung vanities as fresh and adaptable, providing homeowners with an option that suits a wide range of aesthetics.
Height-Friendly & Accessible
Floor mounted vanities are usually quite strict when it comes to how tall they are. If you’re looking for a vanity that is adaptable in terms of where it can be placed on the wall (and accessible for everyone, including young children, elderly or disabled family members) this might be perfect.
Creativity
With the extra space surrounding your wall hung vanity, you have the ability to get creative and expand your design horizons. You may, for instance, like to include more storage options under your vanity, make a feature of the plumbing or even install a bold feature tile.
Easy Maintenance
Navigating the crooks and crannies of your bathroom can be tricky when you have a floor mounted vanity. This is not the case when you opt to install a wall hung vanity.
Wall hung vanities mean that you can easily clean around and under your vanity. It also allows for easy access should you drop your toothbrush or your youngest child can’t reach their favourite bath toy.
You may even find that the vanity will last longer as it is up higher, limiting contact with areas like the floor that become wet and can retain moisture.
Mobile Storage
Wall hung vanities also offer an opportunity for you to add mobile storage options, like blanket boxes or baskets that align with your decor (but don’t need to stay there should your needs change). You might even opt to store your doggie bed or litter box under the vanity for easy, out of the way access.
Straightforward Installation
Getting your wall hung vanity installed by a licensed plumber can often be a more straightforward process than if you were to choose a floor-mounted vanity. Not only will this save you time, it also has the potential to save you money.
Flexibility
Another reason you might like to install a wall hung vanity is for a flexible design. While most people only renovate their bathroom once or twice during their lifetime, if you do decide to change your tiles in the future, it won’t be as big a renovation as with a floor-based vanity.
Ventilation & Light
Having the right ventilation and light is key when designing a bathroom – regardless of size. Having a wall hung vanity rather than a traditional vanity improves the amount of light and airflow you have through your bathroom.
