Top 9 Floating Vanities for Your Next Bathroom Remodel

Sharing is caring!

Trend alert: wall-mounted vanities are having a moment. They are not only sleek and modern, but also offer some serious functional benefits. Floating vanities tend to make small bathrooms feel more spacious but still allow for storage (vs. pedestal sinks). It must be that extra few inches of floor space that creates a sense of openness and the illusion of space. Also, that extra floor space eliminates the nooks and crannies that make the bathroom floor so difficult to keep clean.

When we started planning the bathroom for #FlippinBrushy, one thing was clear: we wanted something modern, airy, and just a little unexpected. That’s when I fell down the rabbit hole of wall-mounted vanities—aka floating vanities—and haven’t looked back since. Whether you’re updating a small powder room or designing a primary ensuite from scratch, floating vanities are a sleek way to add style without sacrificing storage.

Why Floating Vanities Are Worth the Hype

Floating vanities are more than just a trend—they’re a smart, modern upgrade for almost any bathroom. Here’s why:

• They make small bathrooms feel bigger. Floating vanities create visible floor space, which tricks the eye into thinking a room is more spacious.

• Easier to clean. With no legs or base touching the floor, you can easily sweep or mop underneath—goodbye, hard-to-reach dust bunnies.

• Adjustable height. They can be mounted at custom heights for accessibility or to suit taller or shorter users.

• Sleek, minimal design. Perfect for modern, Scandinavian, or minimalist interiors.

• Light and LED options. You can add under-cabinet lighting for a spa-like glow.

What to Know Before You Buy

Before you fall in love with a floating vanity, here are some practical considerations:

Size & Layout

Choose between single and double vanities based on your bathroom’s dimensions. Floating vanities are available in compact 24” widths all the way up to luxurious 72” designs.

Sink Style

• Vessel sinks sit on top and offer a sculptural, modern look.

• Undermount sinks are seamless and great for easy cleanup.

• Integrated sinks (where the countertop and sink are one piece) offer the cleanest aesthetic.

Materials

• Solid wood is premium but pricier.

• Plywood with veneer offers durability without breaking the bank.

• MDF is most budget-friendly but best for lower-moisture spaces.

Countertops

Resin stone, marble, quartz, or composite—your pick! Just make sure it’s sealed and waterproof.

Storage Needs

Think about what you actually need to store. Makeup, hair tools, cleaning products? Look for options with drawers and smart compartmentalization.

Installation Notes

• Check for studs and reinforce your wall as needed.

• Floating vanities require wall-mounted plumbing—sometimes a small extra cost.

Pro Tip: Don’t forget to measure your faucet clearance, especially with vessel sinks!

Styling Tips for Floating Vanities

Choosing the right vanity is just the beginning—how you style it can make or break the final look. Here are some of my favorite tips to make your floating vanity shine:

• Mirrors matter. Pair your vanity with an oversized mirror to reflect light and amplify space. Round mirrors soften the angles, while rectangular or arched options add structure.

• Lighting love. Sconces on either side of the mirror provide the best task lighting. For added drama, consider pendant lights or even a backlit mirror.

• Under-vanity lighting. LED strip lights underneath the vanity create a luxe, spa-like ambiance, especially in the evening.

• Accessorize thoughtfully. Use matching soap dispensers, small trays, and minimal decor like a bud vase or sculptural candle. Clutter-free is the name of the game.

• Don’t forget flooring. Floating vanities allow your flooring to shine. Consider bold patterned tile or warm wood-look planks that extend wall-to-wall.

• Wall treatments. Add depth with beadboard, paneling, wallpaper, or tile from floor to ceiling. This frames your vanity as the true centerpiece it is.

A floating vanity isn’t just a functional upgrade—it’s a design opportunity. Use this space to express your personal style and elevate the entire room.
