What's Your Budget? WYB takes a look at some of the best bathroom vanities under £150. Will you choose wall hung or freestanding units to add style and practicality to your bathroom?

Bathroom Vanities Under £150

A couple of decades ago, the thought of placing a vanity unit in a bathroom hadn’t crossed the minds of the masses, however roll on into the year 2000 and if your bathroom doesn’t have a vanity unit it really isn’t complete. Buying a vanity unit should be a simple task, but when you have multiple varieties and endless styles it can sometimes feel overwhelming. The good news is our WYB team are back and in this week’s ‘What’s your budget?’ feature we’re narrowing down your options by looking at bathroom vanity units under £150.

What are bathroom vanities?

Bathroom vanities, also known as vanity units, are storage cabinets for bathrooms which allow you to safely store essential bathroom products and accessories. They can be freestanding (floor standing) or wall mounted and come in a wide range of sizes and styles. Some bathroom storage cabinets and vanities include basins and, if you have a small bathroom, you may be happy to hear that there are combination vanity units which combine a vanity unit, basin and toilet; perfect for saving space when it’s limited.

Wall hung or freestanding?

There are no rules to buying vanity units so choose one which you prefer. Wall hung vanity units require a little extra effort when it’s time to install one, but they’re great for reducing crowding in smaller bathrooms by minimising the amount of floor space used. Freestanding vanities are the easiest to install and can also be moved around with ease, should you want to. Slimline freestanding vanity units are perfect for smaller bathrooms and cloakrooms if you don’t want a wall hung unit.
