Floating Vanity

Floating vanities mount directly to the wall with no visible legs or floor contact, creating an airy, contemporary look. The open floor space beneath makes small bathrooms feel larger and simplifies floor cleaning—no maneuvering around cabinet bases. Wall-mounted installation requires solid blocking within the wall to support the vanity and sink weight. This installation consideration makes floating vanities better suited to new construction or major renovations.

Placement & Usage Tips

Mount at 32-36 inches from floor to countertop. Ensure wall blocking spans the entire vanity width. Consider how plumbing will be concealed—built-in panels or decorative covers work well.

💡 Pro Tip

LED strip lighting beneath floating vanities creates a dramatic floating effect and provides useful night lighting. Install a switched outlet inside the vanity for easy control.
