Design Notes

Are Floating Vanities In Style?

With design trends shifting from a more traditional look to an interpretation of the owner’s style, the freedom to express oneself is available to anyone, as evident in bathroom designs. Bathrooms are more than just a place to do your morning prep routine. It is the space where we can unwind from the day’s stress, a little area just for us. Due to this, it’s essential that the space reflects your own personality and style, whether that is unique hardware, lighting, or flooring. Without a doubt, the most significant statement piece in a bathroom is the vanity, as it is usually the first thing the eye sees. Floating vanities have become increasingly popular, particularly with minimalist, clean, and modern aesthetics. This blog will explore what they are, what designs complement floating vanities best, and the benefits this style can bring to your bathroom.

What Are Floating Vanities?

Floating vanities are bathroom cabinets anchored to the wall and suspended above the floor. They can accommodate a single or double sink and are adjustable to any height.

Are Floating Vanities Safe?

Nothing is more important than the safety of our loved ones. This is why ensuring the vanity is fastened securely to the wall is essential. Unlike traditional vanities that are planted firmly on the ground, floating vanities are mounted on the wall. Our install crew is always extra careful and ensures they double-check their work before finishing any job.

Benefits Of Floating Vanities.

  • Makes your bathroom look bigger: Because they don’t extend to the floor, it gives the illusion that more space exists.
  • Makes cleaning easier: No dust bunnies here. Simply sweep or swiffer under the cabinet to keep it clean
  • Displays your flooring: Instead of having to go around the base of the cabinet, your beautiful floor is seen throughout the space.
  • Ideal for every family member: No base means no hindrance for a toddler’s step stool or a senior parent’s walker.
  • Adjustable: Standard bathroom cabinets only come in a few height options, usually 36 or 48 inches. With floating vanities, the height can be adjusted to suit your preference, as they are mounted on the wall and not restricted by their base.
  • Great for organization: The space underneath a floating vanity can be the perfect spot to put those extra-large towels tucked away neatly in baskets or any other large items.
