Customisable design

A vanity unit with a countertop basin is a piece designed to hold one or two basins, depending on your needs. Countertop basins are not supplied with the unit, so you’ll need to choose and add them separately. Find our guide here to drill your furniture and install your washbasin.

To complete your vanity unit

We offer a wide selection of washbasins in various shapes, sizes, materials, and colours to create the perfect harmony with your furniture. Be sure to check the basin’s dimensions against your unit for a balanced look.

Which type of bathroom vanity unit should you choose ?

Several types of bathroom vanity units are available on the market.

Wall-hung vanity units for a clean, minimalist look

Fixed to the wall, wall-hung units free up floor space and bring a sense of lightness and modernity. That said, if you opt for a wall-hung unit, you’ll need to make sure your wall is sturdy enough – or reinforce it if necessary. The combined weight of the unit, its contents and the basin can be considerable. Before installation, also work out the right mounting height for comfortable everyday use.

Tikamoon’s wall-hung vanity units add an irresistible touch of elegance. They’re prized for the space they save and for the way they keep the bathroom tidy and well-organised

Freestanding vanity units for everyday practicality

Easy to install, freestanding units offer stability and functionality. They suit every style and provide plenty of storage space. If your walls aren’t strong enough to take a wall-hung unit, or you simply don’t want to drill into them, a freestanding unit is the ideal solution.

Tikamoon’s freestanding vanity units are second to none for adding character and functionality to your bathroom.

What size should your bathroom vanity unit be ?

Choose a unit that fits your room's size. Take care not to overcrowd the space, either on the floor or against the wall and bear in mind the other elements already in your bathroom. The aim is to move around comfortably without the room feeling cluttered.

Tikamoon vanity units are available as single or double-basin models. They range from 40 to 180 cm wide, so you can fit one into any bathroom size

Which materials are best for a bathroom vanity unit ?

In other stores, bathroom vanity units generally come in a range of materials: wood, MDF, melamine or metal. At tikamoon, we favour solid wood for its strength and durability. With teak, oak, rosewood or acacia to choose from, you have plenty of options. Our units are delivered fully assembled and pair beautifully with our basins in stone, ceramic, concrete, marble and terrazzo.

The solid teak used in our bathroom furniture features a varnished finish developed after more than a year of research and testing. This varnish provides long-lasting protection against moisture and daily use, while preserving the natural, warm look of solid teak.

What storage options should a bathroom vanity unit offer ?

Bathroom vanity units offer a wide range of storage solutions: open or closed shelves, niches or drawers. Depending on the model and size you choose, you’ll have room to store your toiletries, cleaning products and towels.

At tikamoon, our bathroom vanity units come in a wide range of configurations to suit every need.

Which style of bathroom vanity unit suits you best ?

For a cohesive, polished look, make sure your vanity unit complements the other furniture in your bathroom. Depending on the style you’re after, you might go for a wall-hung or a freestanding unit. Acacia units paired with a terrazzo countertop basin work well in modern, refined spaces. Light-wood units with built-in stone basins are perfect for smaller rooms and natural-inspired interiors.
