The Case for Wall-Hung Vanities in Small Bathrooms
Renovating a small bathroom in Melbourne?
Here’s the truth:
The wrong vanity will choke the space.
The right one? It’ll open it up, make it feel bigger, and work smarter.
That’s why wall-hung vanities have become a go-to for designers — especially in older Melbourne homes where every square metre counts.
Why Wall-Hung Vanities Work So Well in Small Spaces
They Create Visual Space
By floating above the floor, wall-hung vanities make your bathroom feel lighter, less cramped, and more modern. That empty floor space tricks the eye — and your bathroom suddenly feels bigger than it is.
Easier to Clean
No awkward corners. No trapped dust. Just a quick mop underneath and you’re done. It’s functional and hygienic — especially helpful for family bathrooms.
Flexible Height Option
Wall-hung vanities aren’t locked into standard heights. You can mount them higher or lower depending on who’s using the bathroom — a subtle benefit that makes a big difference.
More Floor Exposure = More Room to Move
When floor space is at a premium, exposing more of it helps create breathing room — not just visually but physically too. It gives your toes (and your design) space to move.
💡 Bluestone’s Tips for Wall-Hung Vanity Success
Pick a floating unit with drawers
You still want storage. Just make it smart and minimal. Deep drawers are more functional than cupboard doors in tight spaces.
Go wall-to-wall where possible
Maximise width for extra bench space, even if it’s only 900mm. A wall-to-wall look also feels more custom.
Pair it with a large mirror
This adds even more light and depth. Round mirrors are trending, but a wide rectangular mirror gives a clean, elongating effect.
Keep plumbing tight
Wall-hung units need strong support and tidy pipework. We handle all that for you — no ugly pipes, no weak mounts.
Bonus: They Just Look Better
Let’s be real — floating vanities just feel premium.
They give your bathroom a hotel-style edge.
They’re sleek. Clean. Architectural.
And they make your renovation feel modern without being trendy.
Final Word
Wall-hung vanities are one of the simplest upgrades you can make to a small bathroom — and they pay off in every way.
More space, less clutter, better flow.
