... wall-hung vanity
Daniella
Santilli,
bathroom
marketing
leader at Reece
weighs in
The deal: With many Australians
now living in smaller spaces, wall-hung
vanities have become more and more
common. But is this style of vanity
right for every bathroom?
The pros: They free up the floor and
provide a more streamlined look than
a standard vanity, creating the illusion
of more space. Cleaning is easier, with
less crevices and places for dust to hide.
A wall-hung vanity also ofers versatility
in height placement, which is great if you
want your vanity to suit specific users.
The cons: If you have tiled walls, you’ll
need to account for additional tiling
underneath. You will also need a solid
support system to hold the weight, which
may require diferent installation methods,
so you should consult your builder to
ensure it will work in your home.
The verdict: Yay! Floating vanities
are available in a range of styles, from
contemporary to traditional, and will add
to the feeling of space in your bathroom,
which is at a premium these days!
