When choosing a bathroom vanity, one of the first decisions you’ll face is whether to go with a wall-mounted (floating) or freestanding design. Both options offer unique advantages — the key is figuring out which style fits your bathroom layout, storage needs, and design preferences. Let’s break it down.
Wall-Mounted Vanities (Floating)
These sleek vanities are attached directly to the wall, leaving open space underneath.
Pros:- Creates a modern, minimalist look
- Makes smaller bathrooms feel more open
- Allows easier floor cleaning
- Can be installed at a custom height
- Requires strong wall support
- Usually has less cabinet storage
- Installation may be more complex
Freestanding Vanities
These vanities rest directly on the floor and typically resemble furniture pieces.
Pros:- Offers more storage space (drawers & cabinets)
- Easy to install — no wall mounting needed
- Fits both traditional and modern bathrooms
- Wider range of size and style options
- Takes up more visual space
- Harder to clean underneath
Which One Is Right for You?
If you’re working with a smaller bathroom or love a clean, modern look — a floating vanity might be your best fit. If you want more storage, easier installation, or a timeless style, a freestanding vanity will give you both form and function.
