Wall-Mounted vs. Freestanding Vanities: What’s the Right Choice for You?

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
Things to Consider:
  • 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
Things to Consider:
  • 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.

BATHUSA offers high-end options in both styles, with customizable finishes and premium hardware — so you don’t have to compromise.
