Bathroom Furniture

Choosing the right bathroom furniture can transform your space, whether you’re upgrading a compact cloakroom or creating a luxurious family bathroom. To help you find the perfect fit, we’ve answered some of the most common questions our customers ask below.

We've also compiled our advice into a helpful bathroom furniture buying guide, to help you choose the best pieces for your bathroom. 

 

What types of bathroom furniture are available?

When it comes to choosing bathroom furniture, there’s something to suit every space and style. The types of furniture that tend to fit in a bathroom include:

• Vanity units: A vanity unit combines your basin with built-in storage, hiding pipework neatly while keeping everyday essentials close at hand. They’re ideal for achieving a built-in look that makes the most of your space.
• Back to wall toilet units: These units are designed to conceal cisterns and pipework and pair perfectly with matching vanities.
• Bathroom cabinets: From tallboys to wall cabinets, bathroom storage options help you stay organised while maintaining a clutter-free space.
• Bathroom mirrors: A mirrored cabinet is more than a finishing touch; it helps reflect light, adds depth and completes your bathroom’s look.
• Fitted bathroom furniture: Fitted furniture gives your bathroom an integrated feel. These units are built to fit your layout precisely, hiding plumbing and maximising every inch of space.

 

How do you choose the right bathroom furniture for your space?

Start by measuring your room to understand how much space you have to work with and where key features like doors or radiators sit. For compact bathrooms, wall hung or corner units help open up the area, while fitted furniture offers a built-in finish in larger spaces.

Next, think about your style and storage needs. A vanity unit keeps everyday essentials tidy, while tall cabinets and mirror units make the most of vertical space. Choose moisture-resistant materials where possible and finishes that complement your décor.

Finally, bring your look together with coordinated basin taps, bath taps, bathroom tiles and baths for a cohesive design. With the right pieces, your bathroom will feel beautifully balanced.

 

Is bathroom furniture easy to install?

Most bathroom furniture is designed with straightforward installation in mind. Some pieces arrive pre-assembled, meaning they’re ready to position and secure with minimal setup. Others come flat-packed, requiring simple assembly using basic tools like a screwdriver and drill.

Freestanding vanity units can usually be installed by a competent DIYer, while wall mounted or plumbed-in units usually need a professional to ensure secure fixing and correct pipe connections.

 

What’s the best way to care for bathroom furniture?

With the right care, your bathroom furniture will stay looking beautiful for years to come. Every piece is made from high quality materials designed for everyday use but regular maintenance helps preserve it.

For most surfaces, a soft damp cloth is all you need to remove light marks. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or bleach, as these can damage the finish. High gloss finishes, however, should be treated carefully; simply use a soft cotton or microfibre cloth with water and a drop of mild soap. Never use solvents such as acetone or alcohol, which can dull the shine.

Worktops are hard wearing but not indestructible, so you should wipe away any spills immediately (even water). Regularly check hinges and drawer runners, tightening screws every few months to keep everything aligned and smooth.

Ventilation is also key. Keep your bathroom well aired to prevent moisture build-up and avoid extreme changes in temperature or humidity, which can shorten the life of your furniture.
