Stand aside, freestanding bath. There’s a new beauty in the bathroom – the custom vanity is living up to its name and wants to show off.

THE CUSTOM VANITY is a game changer. Manufacturers are creating more and more opportunities for homeowners to choose a design and cherry pick every single element of the vanity – size, colour, material, finish, configuration, fixtures and fittings – and combine them to create a personalised, often unique, piece of furniture. These show stoppers not only allow you to express your own style and create your perfect storage solution, they offer a bespoke look on an off-the-shelf budget.

BESPOKE BEAUTIES

So where does creating your sensational custom vanity begin? “Think about your functional and aesthetic needs,” advises Tanya Sharpe, brand manager at Rogerseller. “Is it a family bathroom or powder room? A main ensuite with double vanity requirements? All these factors influence the components of your vanity and how you might want to customise the storage, materials, basin and tapware.” Not to mention your personal style. Armed with info, seek advice at a showroom or hop online. Most companies show you as many variations of a design as possible. Use these images and any other tools to help you visualise your vanity and find your winning combination. “Be confident in your design choices,” says Elise Pride, general manager of marketing and merchandising at The Blue Space. “Love a shape, a colour or configuration? Go for it.” When buying your vanity online, be sure to confirm your specs with the company before they start building your dream piece.
