Floating vanities are ideal for bathrooms with limited space. Here are 10 ideas on how to use them best.

A floating vanity is mounted to the wall, which creates the illusion that they're suspended in mid-air. Especially good for bathrooms with limited space, these streamlined units free up floor space and are perfect for modern aesthetics. Here are 10 ideas to add sleek storage and style to your bathroom.

CURVES AHEAD

Resist the compulsion for square corners and consider a floating vanity with curves instead. Apart from being a stylistic flourish, gently rounded corners soften the look of a space, especially one with as many hard surfaces as a bathroom. Match it with a sink with rounded corners like Duravit's Happy D.2 Plus, which has a matching floating cabinet, so you'll have a complete look.

OPEN PLAN

If the walls flanking your sink are just a short distance apart, having a floating shelf instead of a cabinet is an option. Easier to clean and offers more storage space; it's also a great way to display your matching towels. Apaiser's Reflection marble vanity, which combines a sink and countertop, is a stunning option, especially in black and paired with a wooden floating shelf.

IN THE DETAILS

Make a statement in the bathroom with a bolder choice of floating vanity like this dreamy Apaiser Tulle stone vanity which seamlessly integrates the benchtop and basin. Beautiful scalloped edging elevates this bathroom staple making it a functional piece of bathroom art.
