A wall-hung vanity gives you more visible floor space and makes cleaning beneath easy, so it suits tight bathrooms or cloakrooms; look at 450–600mm wall-hung options like the Linea or Ella ranges. A freestanding unit, such as the Esme or Ella freestanding 450–800mm models, hides pipework and feels more traditional while offering similar internal storage. If you want a modern, airy look go wall-hung; if you prefer a furniture-style appearance and simple sit-on installation go freestanding.

For a cloakroom pick a compact wall-mounted or countertop cloakroom basin, the Carrara wall-mounted 300mm or the Stance cloakroom countertop 420 x 270mm, because they save space and leave room for a toilet. For a family bathroom choose larger countertop basins like the Neo 560 x 370mm or the Stance 750 x 360mm, or a recessed basin such as the Rossini 500–600mm to create more counter area and tidy storage beneath. The smaller basins limit splash and suit shallow vanity units; the larger options give you more surface for daily routines.

Use a dominant neutral and one accent: pair a white gloss Ella vanity with a fluted oak or Sonoma oak tall unit to add warmth, or match a brushed brass basin detail with Linea fluted green for a luxe touch. Colours available include white, blue, anthracite, dust grey, green and earth red, plus fluted oak textures, so pick one surface finish for the vanity fronts and one contrasting trim or basin finish. If you want a calm scheme, stick to white or dust grey across furniture and introduce brass or wood as the accent.

Smaller vanities from 450–500mm give one drawer or cupboard for essentials, suitable for cloakrooms; 600mm to 800mm units typically provide twin drawers or a larger single drawer that will hold toiletries and hair tools. If you need significant storage for towels and bulk items choose a tall cabinet such as the Ella 1400 x 350mm wall-hung unit, which frees up vanity space while storing linen vertically. Wider options like 900mm vanities also offer deep drawers for organised storage of multiple family members' items.

Recessed basins, such as the Rossini 500mm or the Alfie recessed 600 x 160mm, sit partly into the worktop and give you more usable rim and splash protection, so they work well if you want integrated surfaces and easier cleaning. Countertop basins like the Neo 560 x 370mm or the larger Stance 750 x 360mm sit on top for a design statement but require a wider worktop. If your worktop depth is limited, go recessed or choose a smaller countertop cloakroom basin to retain usable surface.
