Wall Hung Vanity vs Freestanding

Choosing between a wall hung vanity and a freestanding vanity is one of the most important decisions in any Perth bathroom renovation. Both have real advantages and the right choice depends on your bathroom size, your plumbing setup, and the look you’re going for. Here’s everything you need to know.

Wall Hung Vanities: Everything You Need to Know

A wall hung vanity, also called a floating vanity, is mounted directly to the wall with no contact with the floor. It’s one of the most popular choices in Perth bathrooms right now, and for good reason.

Advantages of Wall Hung Vanities

• Makes the bathroom feel larger: the visible floor space beneath the vanity opens up the room visually, a big plus in smaller Perth bathrooms
• Easy to clean: no awkward floor joint where dust and moisture collect
• Height adjustable: you choose the installation height to suit your needs
• Contemporary look: wall hung vanities define the clean, modern aesthetic that dominates Perth bathroom design in 2026
• Works brilliantly with stone tops: a floating vanity with a stone top is the most-requested combination we see at our showroom

Considerations for Wall Hung Vanities

• Requires solid wall reinforcement (a timber noggin or steel bracket in the wall frame), not suitable for all wall types without preparation
• Plumbing must be in the wall (concealed) rather than through the floor. This may add cost if your existing plumbing needs relocating
• Professional installation is strongly recommended

Floor Standing Vanities: Everything You Need to Know

A floor standing vanity, also called a freestanding vanity, sits on the floor and is the traditional choice for Australian bathrooms. It remains an excellent option for many Perth homes.

Advantages of Floor Standing Vanities

• More storage: the full cabinet height from floor to top means deeper drawers and more cupboard space
• Simpler installation: no wall reinforcement needed; floor plumbing works fine
• More affordable to install: less preparation work required
• Suits heritage and traditional-style Perth homes: particularly older Cottesloe, Subiaco, and Fremantle homes where a floating vanity can look out of place
• Great for shared family bathrooms: extra storage is a practical advantage

Considerations for Floor Standing Vanities

• The floor-to-vanity junction can collect moisture and be harder to clean
• Can make a small bathroom feel more enclosed
• Less of a “wow factor” in a luxury or high-design renovation

Double Vanities: A Growing Perth Trend

Whether wall hung or floor standing, double vanities are one of the fastest-growing bathroom trends in Perth. Master ensuites in particular are increasingly being fitted with 1500mm – 1800mm double vanities, giving each person their own basin and storage. Brands like Seima and Timberline offer excellent double vanity options that work beautifully with our stone tops range.

Stone Tops: The Perfect Finishing Touch

Whichever vanity style you choose, pairing it with a quality stone vanity top elevates the entire bathroom. We stock a wide range of stone tops in marble, engineered stone, and other premium finishes. Suitable for both wall hung and floor standing vanities, in single and double basin configurations.
