Vanity sizing guide
Choosing a vanity that fits comes down to width, depth, height and how the bowl and tap sit on the top. This guide shows you how to measure at home, which width suits which space, and how single, double, centre and offset bowl layouts differ. Vanities come in six common widths, 600, 750, 900, 1200, 1500 and 1800mm, and each has its own collection so you can compare what is available in that size. Sizes are model specific, so always use the published dimensions on the product page for the exact vanity you order. The ADP Michel wall hung range, for example, lists a 600mm width as 150mm high and 500mm deep, with centre, offset and double bowl options offered at the wider sizes. If you would like to see a few widths side by side, you are welcome to visit our showroom and bring your measurements and photos with you.
Measure the room first
- Width. Measure wall to wall, or the width of the niche, and allow room for tiles, silicone and door swing.
- Depth. Measure from the finished wall to how far the cabinet and basin can sit into the room, leaving space to walk past and open the door.
- Height. Measure from the finished floor to the rim height you want. Wall hung vanities can be set to suit the people using them.
- Services. Note the waste position and the hot and cold pipe heights. Wall hung vanities also need a wall that can carry the load.
Take a photo of the space with a tape measure in the frame and keep it with your notes.
Choose a width
- 600mm vanities: compact, for powder rooms and tight ensuites.
- 750mm vanities: a small single basin with a little bench space.
- 900mm vanities: a common single basin width for main bathrooms.
- 1050mm vanities: a mid-size width between 900mm and 1200mm, currently ADP Glacier.
- 1200mm vanities: a roomy single basin, and some double bowl options.
- 1350mm vanities: a mid-size width between 1200mm and 1500mm, currently ADP Archie.
- 1500mm vanities: a popular width for two bowls.
- 1800mm vanities: large double bowl vanities for generous walls.
Bowl layouts
A centre bowl sits in the middle of the top and suits most single basin rooms. A left or right offset bowl moves the basin to one side to leave bench space on the other, which helps when a door, wall or window limits the room. A double bowl gives two basins and usually needs 1200mm or more, depending on the model. Browse single bowl vanities or double bowl vanities, and check the layout options on each product page, because they vary by size.
Wall hung or freestanding
Wall hung vanities leave the floor clear and are easy to clean under, but need a suitable wall and should be installed in line with the manufacturer's installation instructions. Freestanding vanities sit on the floor and can suit walls or plumbing that are harder to work with. Shop wall hung vanities, freestanding vanities or space saver vanities, or see all vanities.
Basin and tap pairing
- Confirm the basin type: integrated, above counter, undermount or semi recessed.
- Check the spout reach of your mixer so water lands in the bowl.
- Allow space for the waste, trap and drawers under the basin.
