The bathroom never seems to have enough room for everything. You can't help but put that hair brush and toothpaste on the sink edge. That's why you need bathroom storage units. These storage units keep your things in order, making your bathroom look nice and clutter-free. However, not every storage unit is the same. Some are great for small cloakrooms, while others with two sinks and lots of storage space look very fancy. We will talk about the various types so that you can pick the one that fits your home and way of life the best.
Floor-Standing Vanity Units
These are your basic, trusty vanity units. They are strong storage cabinets that don't require any complicated setup because they sit right on the floor. Homelay's floor-standing vanity units are already set up and ready to use. All you have to do is connect them and put them where you want them.
They're simple to put together, have a lot of storage space, and look good in many bathroom styles. No matter if the room is modern or more traditional, a floor-standing unit will look good there.
And don't worry—our vanity units start from just £85, so you won't have to worry about breaking your bank.
Wall-Hung Vanity Units
If you have little floor space but want something modern, wall-hung vanity units are the way to go. Since these are mounted on the wall, there is no need for a big base that takes up space on the floor. They are great for bathrooms that aren't very big because they make every inch count.
Something to remember is that installation takes a little more work. The weight will be on the wall, so you'll need to make sure it can handle it. But after they get up? The floating effect gives the bathroom a modern, open look that immediately makes it look bigger.

Corner Vanity Units
A corner vanity unit is your best friend when you are short on space. These units are made to fit perfectly into corners, making the most of space that would otherwise be wasted. You'll see many of these in cloakrooms and en-suites, where space is tight, but clothes must be stored. The best part is they come in both floor-standing and wall-mounted styles, so you can choose the one that works best for you.

Bathroom Combination Units
Combination bathroom units are a good choice if you want a clean, unified look. The basin and toilet are combined into one unit, which makes the design look smooth and increases storage space. They are great for small bathrooms because they don't need any extra fixtures. Plus, they add extra surface area, which is great for keeping things in order without making the room feel crowded.
Double Sink Vanity Units
Double-sink vanity units are ideal for larger or shared family bathrooms, allowing two people to use the sinks simultaneously. They come with two basins in one cabinet. Double sink vanities are typically much wider (often 1200mm or more) and provide extensive storage space with multiple drawers or cabinets.
Note that they can be freestanding or wall-mounted but require sufficient space and plumbing for two drains. They add luxury and convenience, but they tend to be more expensive and require a big bathroom to accommodate them.
Conclusion
Choosing the right vanity unit isn't just about storage; you need to make your bathroom work for you. You should choose a unit that fits your space and way of life, whether a traditional floor-standing unit, a sleek wall-hung unit, a corner unit that saves space, or an all-in-one combination setup. Look at how your bathroom is set up, think about what you need, and choose to keep the space looking good and working well.
