Bespoke Floating Vanity Units

A floating vanity is wall-hung, with nothing touching the floor — the format behind almost every calm, contemporary bathroom. Here is how a bespoke wall-hung unit is built, fixed and sized to your exact wall.

Why Wall-Hung Has Become the Default

Floating vanities mount directly to the wall, leaving the floor clear beneath. The appeal is partly visual and partly practical. Visually, an uninterrupted floor makes a bathroom read as larger and calmer, and the stone top becomes a clean horizontal line rather than a box sitting on the ground. Practically, cleaning the floor takes seconds when there is no plinth to work around, and there is no kickboard to trap water or grime.

At wider spans the effect is stronger still. A 1800mm or 2400mm wall-hung top reads as a genuine architectural feature — which is why designers reach for the format on larger projects rather than treating it as a small-bathroom trick.

Built to Your Wall, Not a Standard Size

Because a floating unit is defined by the wall it hangs on, a fixed catalogue size rarely fits cleanly. Lave builds every wall-hung vanity to a specific width from 700mm to 2400mm, in the depth the room allows, with the bowl positioned exactly where you want it. The unit is drawn to the space, so there is no filler panel and no dead gap at the end of the run. If you want the reasoning behind sizing to the millimetre, our made-to-measure vanity guide covers it in full.

Fixings and Wall Strength

A wall-hung vanity carries its full weight — cabinet, stone top and a basin of water — on the wall alone, so the fixing detail matters. Solid masonry walls take the load directly. Stud walls need noggins or a plywood pattress fitted between the studs before tiling, positioned to Lave's drawing. Every order ships with a technical drawing showing fixing points and heights, and Lave works with your plumber or contractor to confirm the wall build-up before the unit is made.

Get this right at first-fix and the installation is quick; leave it to second-fix and it becomes the one avoidable delay in the project. It is worth raising with your trades early.

The Seamless Stone Top

Every Lave floating vanity is finished with a sintered stone top and an integrated basin formed within the slab — one continuous surface, no join between bowl and counter, no silicone line to discolour. Sintered stone is non-porous, scratch-resistant to Mohs 7, heat-tolerant and never needs sealing, which is why it holds up in daily wet-room use where softer surfaces dull. The material case is set out in why sintered stone.

Specifying One

The brief comes down to width and depth, bowl configuration, stone finish and cabinet veneer. From there Lave returns a fixed quote, a drawing to approve and a confirmed lead time of 7 to 12 weeks. Nothing is made or paid for until the drawing is signed off. The order of decisions is laid out in how to spec a bespoke bathroom vanity.
