Vanities 650mm - 950mm

A wall hung bathroom vanity (also called a floating vanity or wall-mounted vanity) is a cabinet that is fixed directly to the wall rather than sitting on the floor. The key benefits for homeowners include a more spacious, modern aesthetic, because you can see the floor underneath, even small bathrooms feel larger and airier. Wall hung vanities are also much easier to clean, as you can sweep or mop straight underneath. They work particularly well in ensuites, powder rooms, and compact bathrooms where every centimetre counts.

Yes. Unlike floor-standing vanities, wall hung vanities must be anchored to solid structural support, ideally wall studs or a solid timber blocking frame installed within the wall cavity. Because the vanity carries the weight of the cabinet, basin, benchtop, and everything stored inside it, standard plasterboard alone is not sufficient. If you are renovating, it is essential to discuss blocking requirements with your builder or plumber before the walls are lined. A licensed plumber or carpenter should always perform the installation to ensure it meets Australian building standards.

The standard installation height for a wall hung vanity in Australia is approximately 850mm from the finished floor level to the top of the benchtop. However, this can be adjusted to suit the needs of your household, for example, lowering slightly for shorter users or households with young children, or raising to 900mm for taller adults. One major advantage of wall hung vanities is this flexibility: because height is set at installation, you can customise it to suit your family before the unit is fixed in place.

The most popular wall hung vanity sizes in Australian bathrooms are 750mm and 900mm wide, the 750mm suits a single ensuite or powder room, while the 900mm provides a generous benchtop and drawer space for one person in a main bathroom. For shared bathrooms or larger ensuites, consider stepping up to a 1200mm or 1500mm double vanity configuration. Always measure your available wall space and subtract approximately 100mm either side for clearance. Also check the depth, most standard vanities are 460–550mm deep, but slim 400mm options are available for tighter spaces.

As a general rule, your bathroom mirror should be the same width as or up to 50–100mm narrower than your vanity. For a 600mm vanity, a 550–600mm mirror works well; for a 1200mm double vanity, a 1100–1200mm mirror or two individual mirrors side by side suit the space. Height is flexible, most bathroom mirrors sit between 700mm and 900mm tall, depending on ceiling height and user preference.

A shaving cabinet is a recessed or surface-mounted wall cabinet with a mirrored door (or doors) on the front. Unlike a flat bathroom mirror, a shaving cabinet provides internal storage for medicines, razors, skincare products, and other bathroom essentials. Many modern shaving cabinets also feature integrated LED lighting, shaving points, and demister pads, making them a highly functional addition to any bathroom.

Shaving cabinets typically range from 450mm to 1200mm wide. For a single-basin vanity, a 600–750mm wide cabinet is a popular choice. For double vanities, a wider 900–1200mm cabinet or two side-by-side units works well. Depth matters too, most cabinets are 100–150mm deep, which is enough for most toiletry storage.
