Are floating vanities in style?

Post by Stacey Walker. Stacey mostly works behind the scenes for Greenbrook Design, managing day to day operations, marketing, sourcing product and keeping the showroom beautifully designed. Stacey also does interior design & home styling for a select number of clients. Find out more about Stacey here.

Are Floating Vanities in style?

With design trends changing from a more traditional look to one that is interpretive of the owner, the freedom to express yourself is available to anyone and this can be seen in bathroom designs. Bathrooms are more than just a place to do your morning prep routine, it is the space where we can unwind from the stress of the day, a little area just for us. Due to this, it’s important that the space reflects your own personality and style, whether that is unique hardware, lighting, or flooring. Without question, the biggest statement piece in a bathroom is the vanity since it is usually the first thing the eye sees. Floating vanities have become increasingly popular, especially with the minimalist, clean, modern look. In this blog we are going to explore what they are, what designs are the best compliment to floating vanities, and the benefits this style can bring to your bathroom.

What are floating vanities?

Floating vanities are bathroom cabinets anchored to the wall, suspended above the floor. They can either be for a single or double sink and are adjustable to any height. 

Are floating vanities safe?

Nothing is more important than the safety of our loved ones. This is why it is essential to make sure that the vanity is fastened securely to the wall. Unlike traditional vanities that are planted firmly on the ground, floating vanities are mounted on the wall. Our install crew is always extra careful and make sure that they double check their work before finishing any job. 

Benefits of floating vanities.

    • Makes your bathroom look bigger: Because they don’t extend all the way to the floor it gives the illusion that there is more space.
    • Makes cleaning easier: No dust bunnies here. Simply sweep or swiffer under the cabinet to keep it clean
    • Displays your flooring: Instead of having to go around the base of the cabinet, your beautiful floor is seen throughout the space.
    • Ideal for every family member: No base means no hindrance for a toddler’s step stool or a senior parent’s walker.
    • Adjustable: Standard bathroom cabinets only come in a few height options, usually 36 or 48 inches. With floating vanities that height can be adjusted to whatever you want since they are mounted on the wall and not restricted to their base.
    • Great for organization: Space underneath a floating vanity can make the perfect spot to put those extra large towels tucked away neatly in baskets or any other large items.

Floating Vanities or Traditional Cabinets

No matter which you choose, the important thing is that they suit you and reflect your style. Visit our showroom in beautiful Uptown Shelby to browse our displays or feel free to visit our bathroom gallery to see some of the options and possibilities that are available to you. We are always happy to answer your questions and help you achieve the space you have always dreamed of having.

Maximizing minimal space is our specialty. Heather Maximizing minimal space is our specialty. Heather's client needed a kitchen that felt open yet functional for their daily routine. Adding the glass cabinet doors above the stove plus a glass shelf makes the space feel more open. Fun fact, the owner designed and built the light in the kitchen!

She enjoyed working with the client to maximize storage in the closet so that there was room for everything. An added feature included a “his” and “hers” double sided island with space to store his steam iron, shoe cleaning supplies with seating, and customized drawer dividers for jewelry, glasses, ties, belts, and watches. She also designed a creative use of space around an HVAC return to house his watch collection.
