A Buyers Guide to Wooden Vanity Units
Choosing the Right Size
When selecting a wooden vanity unit, size plays a crucial role in ensuring a perfect fit. Consider the following:
Small Bathrooms: To make most of a compact living space, a wall-mounted or slimline vanity unit is an ideal solution. If you have a fairly small bathroom and are looking for a vanity that will have adequate storage and a good-looking finish, then the Ava Wall Hung Reeded Oak Vanity Unit is an excellent choice.
Medium-Sized Bathrooms: The Oscar Reeded Oak & Shaker Vanity Unit, for example, provides just the right amount of surface space for daily essentials without overwhelming the room. Additionally, units with built-in drawers help keep toiletries organised while maintaining a sleek and cohesive design.
Selecting the Right Wood
The type of wood used for your bathroom vanity unit will have an impact on its durability, appearance, and maintenance requirements. Below are some of the best wooden options available for a vanity unit:
Solid Oak: One of the most popular choices due to its strength, longevity, and grain patterns. Oak adds warmth and depth to any bathroom space.
Walnut: A darker and more luxurious option, walnut provides a rich and sophisticated look. It’s highly durable thanks to its resistance to warping.
Teak: Naturally water-resistant, teak is a great option for bathrooms with very high humidity. It contains a high oil content, which protects from moisture damage.
Ash: A lighter wood that offers a clean and modern look. Ash wood is sturdy and complements contemporary bathroom aesthetics.
Reclaimed Wood: Ideal for those who prioritise sustainability, reclaimed wood vanity units bring a rustic and eco-friendly charm while repurposing high-quality materials.
Exploring Finishes & Colours
A vanity unit's finish determines its overall aesthetic and longevity. Popular options include:
Natural Oak Finish: Retains the wood’s organic beauty and warmth. The Clarence Reeded Large Oak Vanity Unit embodies this timeless appeal.
Painted Finishes: Customisable to match any bathroom decor, painted units come in shades ranging from crisp white to deep navy. Why not add a pop of colour to your bathroom by incorporating a painted vanity unit, such as the Grace Chest Vanity Unit.
Distressed or Aged Finishes: Great for achieving a vintage or farmhouse look.
