Wall Hung Vanities
What Is a Wall Hung Vanity?
A wall hung vanity — also called a floating vanity or wall mounted vanity — is a bathroom vanity unit fixed directly to the wall with no floor contact. Unlike a freestanding or floor standing vanity, there are no legs or plinth underneath. The cabinet appears to float, which opens up the floor visually and makes the space feel larger than it actually is. It's one of the most effective design moves you can make in a smaller bathroom or ensuite.Installation requires wall framing or noggins capable of carrying the load — it's a conversation to have with your builder or plumber before you commit to a size and position.
Why Choose a Wall Hung Vanity?
The benefits go beyond aesthetics. A floating vanity is genuinely easier to clean around — no awkward floor junction, no grime traps, just clear floor space underneath. It also gives you flexibility with the height at installation, which matters if you're taller than average or designing for accessibility. And because the floor reads as continuous, even a slimline wall hung vanity unit in a compact bathroom will make the room feel noticeably more open.
For ensuite bathrooms, the wall hung vanity also works harder as a design anchor — paired with a stone top basin, brushed brass tapware, and a LED mirror, it's the foundation of a hotel-style bathroom finish at a fraction of the cost.
Explore Wall Hung Vanity by Size
Getting your size right is non-negotiable — measure your rough-in carefully and allow clearance for drawers and doors to open fully. We stock wall hung bathroom vanities across the full size range:
- 600mm — ideal for small bathrooms, powder rooms, and ensuites where space is tight. A 600mm floating vanity gives you enough bench space and storage without dominating the room.
- 750mm — the sweet spot for a single-basin ensuite or secondary bathroom. Enough storage, compact enough to fit most standard bathroom spaces.
- 900mm — the most popular wall hung vanity size. Works across ensuite, main bathroom, and generous powder room configurations. Plenty of bench space for a single user.
- 1200mm — suits larger ensuite and main bathroom renovations. Can accommodate a double bowl basin or a generous single basin with bench space either side.
- 1500mm — a strong choice for a shared main bathroom or master ensuite where two people use the space regularly.
- 1800mm — the largest wall hung vanity format, suited to a spacious double vanity configuration with room for two basins and proper storage on both sides.
Wall Hung Vanity Styles and Finishes at Buildmat
The wall hung format suits almost every interior direction — it's the mounting style that changes, not the aesthetic. For contemporary and minimalist bathrooms, flat-front joinery in white, matte black, or woodgrain with matte black or brushed brass handles is the current benchmark. For Japandi and warm-toned bathrooms, oak and solid timber floating vanity options with brushed brass tapware create a rich, layered result. For a more textural finish, our fluted vanities and curved vanities are also available in wall hung configurations — two of the strongest trends in Australian bathroom design right now.
