What is a Base Cabinet Sink?

A vanity unit is a piece of furniture placed beneath a sink. It combines a sink with storage space and is often used in bathrooms to neatly store cleaning supplies, towels, or other necessities.

There are different types of under-cabinet washbasins:

Freestanding base units : You can slide these under an existing sink.

Built-in washbasin cabinets : In these cases the washbasin is integrated into the furniture.

Floating base units : Fixed to the wall, which gives a modern look and makes cleaning the floor easier.

Freestanding base cabinets : Stand directly on the floor and are easy to move.

Advice on choosing a base cabinet:

Here are a few things to consider when choosing a vanity sink for your bathroom:

Space & Dimensions

First measure your bathroom properly.

Choose a base cabinet that fits the available space without being too cramped.

Floating models are useful for small bathrooms because they look more spacious.

Type Washbasin & Cabinet

Built-in sink (sleek and modern, easy to clean).

Freestanding washbasin on a countertop (luxurious appearance, but less storage space).

Drawers or doors? Drawers are handy for smaller items, while doors offer more space for tall bottles and cleaning supplies.

Material & Style

Wood look (warm and natural)

High-gloss white (modern and sleek)

Black or dark gray (cool and industrial)

Water-resistant material such as coated MDF or solid wood for a long lifespan.

Installation & Maintenance

Floating or standing? Floating makes cleaning underneath easier, standing is more stable.

Choose soft-close drawers or doors if you like luxurious and quiet operation
