Dans une salle de bain, ce n'est pas la largeur du meuble qui pose problème, c'est la circulation devant. Comptez 70 cm de dégagement pour se tenir et ouvrir un tiroir, puis déduisez la largeur du mur moins 10 cm de chaque côté. Mesurez d'abord, choisissez ensuite. Notre gamme couvre les modèles suspendus et sur pied, en simple ou double vasque. Complétez avec les vasques à poser, les miroirs de salle de bain et les accessoires.
Four measurements are more important than any style criteria: available width, depth, height, and the type of sink planned. Style and material can be chosen afterwards, without constraints.
Width: wall width minus 10 cm of clearance on each side.
Standard depth: 45 to 50 cm. Go down to 35 cm for a small bathroom.
Height with integrated sink: 85 cm, the standard usage height.
Height with vessel sink: 70 to 73 cm, to remain at 85 cm once the sink is installed.
Height is the most frequent and costly mistake. An 85 cm vanity topped with a 15 cm vessel sink places the edge at 100 cm from the floor, an uncomfortable height for an adult and inaccessible for a child. Decide on the type of sink before ordering the vanity.
The installation method determines maintenance, load capacity, and the visual appearance of the room. It also depends on the nature of your wall.
| Installation | What it provides | What it requires |
|---|---|---|
| Wall-mounted | The floor remains clear, cleaning is easy underneath, the room appears larger | A load-bearing wall or reinforcement in the partition, load distributed over the fixings |
| Floor-standing | No wall constraints, more storage volume, immediate installation | A level floor, and the vanity occupies floor space |
| Matching tall unit | Vertical storage without additional floor footprint | Free height next to the vanity |
A loaded wall-mounted vanity exerts a pull-out force, not just a simple vertical load. On standard drywall, you need a wooden reinforcement installed in the partition or appropriately sized toggle bolts. On hollow concrete blocks, use anchors for hollow materials. On solid walls, a 10 mm expansion anchor is sufficient.
The format should be chosen based on the number of simultaneous users, not the available surface area. Two people getting ready at the same time need two water points, not a wider countertop.
A common mistake is choosing a 110 cm double sink to save space. The result is a vanity with two basins that are too close together, which is less practical than a single sink of the same width with free counter space.
A bathroom vanity lives in air filled with steam and is exposed to water splashes. The material of the cabinet and the treatment of the edges determine its lifespan, much more than the brand.
| Material | Resistance | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Water-repellent MDF | Good if the edges are well sealed | The market standard, good value for money |
| Bamboo | Very good, high natural density | Resists moisture well, warm tone, Nordic look |
| Oak and walnut veneer | Good, provided the edges are treated | Natural grain, Sanremo, hazelnut, golden, tobacco tones |
| Glossy or matte lacquer | Excellent on the surface, sensitive to impacts on the corners | Glossy white, matte almond, easy to clean |
| Sintered stone, travertine | Excellent as a countertop | Reserved for countertops, not cabinets |
The weak point is the edges
A water-repellent MDF cabinet holds up perfectly as long as the edge of the panels is properly sealed. Water penetrates and causes the panel to swell from the inside through a poorly sealed edge, often the bottom or the bottom of the door. The swelling is irreversible. Check this point on any vanity, regardless of its price, and wipe up any splashes at the base of the vanity immediately.
In a room of less than 5 m², the vanity must not only fit, it must allow for movement. Allow 70 cm of clearance in front to stand and open a drawer.
Anticipate the siphon if you choose drawers. A classic straight siphon goes right through the top drawer. An offset or space-saving siphon preserves usable volume.
Three directions dominate, and they are distinguished mainly by the front.
The sleek line, without visible handles, opening via a groove or push-to-open mechanism. This is the style that ages the best because it is timeless.The ribbed front, with a vertical relief that catches the light, warmer and very popular in oak.The wall-mounted silhouette, with a thin cabinet and a marked overhang, for a light look.
As for colors, glossy white remains the best-seller because it enlarges, but wood tones and muted colors like matte almond are gaining ground. They break the clinical effect of an all-white bathroom without making the room dark.
Measure the wall width and remove 10 cm of clearance on each side. Choose the height according to the type of sink: 85 cm for an integrated sink, 70 to 73 cm for a vessel sink. The standard depth is 45 to 50 cm, which can be reduced to 35 cm.
Water-repellent MDF is the standard, provided the edges are well sealed. Bamboo is naturally moisture-resistant. Oak and walnut veneers require treated edges. Glossy and matte lacquers are easy to clean but show marks on the corners.
Locate the networks, draw a level line, drill and anchor according to the support, attach the rail, position the cabinet, then connect the drain and the siphon. A wall-mounted vanity requires a load-bearing wall or reinforcement in the partition.
Reduce depth before width; a 35 cm vanity frees up 15 cm of circulation. Mount it on the wall rather than placing it on the floor. Go vertical with a tall unit. Prefer drawers to doors; they provide access to the back without clearance.
The sleek line without visible handles, the ribbed front with vertical relief, and the wall-mounted silhouette with a thin cabinet. As for colors, glossy white remains the best-seller, while wood tones and muted colors like matte almond are growing in popularity.
120 cm minimum, with 20 cm between the two basins. Below that, the two people get in each other's way and splashes travel from one sink to the other. A 110 cm single sink with free counter space is more practical than a cramped double sink.
Wall-mounted frees up the floor, facilitates cleaning, and visually enlarges the room, but it requires a load-bearing wall or reinforcement. Floor-standing can be installed anywhere, offers more storage volume, and occupies floor space.
