Freestanding Vanities: The Heart of a Bathroom That Works With You, Not Against You
Let’s cut to the chase: bathrooms are personal. They’re where you start bleary-eyed mornings and unwind after brutal days. A freestanding vanity isn’t just furniture—it’s the anchor of these moments. At The Blue Space, we’ve spent years refining our range to ensure every vanity isn’t just pretty, but purposeful.
Breaking Free from the Wall: Why Freestanding Wins
Built-in vanities? They’re like a bad tattoo—hard to remove and painfully permanent. Freestanding units flip the script. Need proof?
The “Oops, Wrong Spot” Saviour
Ever installed a vanity only to realise it blocks the towel rack? With freestanding designs, just… move it. No sledgehammers, no swearing. Our 750mm vanities are light enough to shift solo but sturdy enough to handle a teenager’s “product explosion” mornings.
Renter-Friendly Brilliance
Love your landlord? Probably not. Freestanding vanities let you upgrade without permanent changes. Take it with you when you leave—landlord none the wiser. Check out our small vanities designed for easy moves.
The “I Changed My Mind” Insurance Policy
Saw a trendier vanity six months post-reno? Swap it. No demolition required. Our Turner Hastings vanities come fully assembled—plug and play.
Size Matters: Matching Vanity Dimensions to Real Life
Let’s talk numbers without the math headache.
Tiny But Mighty (400–600mm)
Got a closet-sized ensuite? Our 400–600mm vanities are the ninjas of small spaces. Pair them with vertical storage like the Ingrain shaving cabinets to cheat your way into feeling spacious.
Pro Tip: Wall-mounting a slimline vanity? Leave a 100mm gap underneath. It tricks the eye into seeing more floor space. Browse slimline options here.
The Goldilocks Zone (750–900mm)
Not too big, not too small—just right for most bathrooms. The 900mm vanities fit double basins without hogging the room. Add a Marquis vanity with soft-close drawers to mute the 6 AM chaos.
Sprawling Statements (1200mm+)
For master bathrooms that double as sanctuaries, go big. The 1500mm vanities offer counter space for skincare routines and hidden laundry hampers. Pair with a curved vanity to soften sharp corners.
Material World: What’s Your Vanity Made Of?
Timber: The Warm Hug
Our Timberline vanities use reclaimed ash—knots, grain variations, and all. Waterproofed with a matte finish, they age like fine wine, not soggy cardboard.
Laminate: The Underdog Hero
Modern laminates aren’t your grandma’s peeling countertops. The ADP vanities feature scratch-proof surfaces that mimic:
- Concrete (without the industrial chill)
- Marble (without the price tag or red-wine panic)
- Metals (without fingerprints)
Engineered Stone: The Low-Maintenance Love
Spill coffee? Wipe it. Drop hair dye? Scrub it. Our white bathroom vanities with stone tops resist stains, making them ideal for messy humans.
Customisation: Because “One-Size-Fits-All” Is a Lie
Found the perfect vanity… except it’s 20mm too wide? Our custom vanities are cut-to-order. Need a left-handed drawer layout? A niche for the cat’s water bowl? We’ve done weirder.
Case Study: A client with a 1320mm gap needed storage for wheelchair access. Our team built a 1200mm vanity with open-sided shelving, leaving room for mobility without sacrificing style.
Style Tribes: Which Vanity Personality Are You?
The Minimalist
Clean lines, handleless drawers, and a monochrome palette. The ensuite vanities range nails this look. Add a pop of green with a potted fern.
The Maximalist
Go bold or go home. Our curved vanities in navy or emerald green make statements. Pair with brass fixtures and patterned tiles.
The Nostalgic
Channel farmhouse charm with a Timberline vanity and crosshead taps. Distress the finish slightly for that “heirloom” vibe.
The Futurist
High-gloss Marquis vanities with integrated LED lighting. Motion-sensor drawers? We can do that.
Installation: No PhD Required
Freestanding vanities are the IKEA of bathroom upgrades—but with clearer instructions.

Floor Friendships
Uneven floors? Use adjustable legs (included with all Turner Hastings vanities) to stabilise without shims. -
The Anchoring Debate
Earthquake zone? Bolt it to the wall. Otherwise, let it float. Your call.
