A well-designed bathroom vanity paired with the right mirror can completely transform your space. Not only does it provide practical storage and functionality, but it also sets the tone for your bathroom’s style. Whether you are renovating or just updating a few elements, these vanity and mirror ideas can help you create a bathroom that feels fresh, organised, and stylish.

Bathroom Vanity Types

Different vanities suit different needs and spaces, and mirrors can complement or even enhance the look. Here are some bathroom vanity ideas to help you decide.

Installation Types

Wall Hung / Floating Vanities
Wall Hung and Floating vanities are mounted to the wall, leaving open space underneath. This design makes the bathroom feel larger and more open, especially in smaller rooms. The gap also makes cleaning easier, allowing you to reach every corner of the floor.

Floor-Mounted Vanities
Floor-mounted vanities sit directly on the floor, giving a sturdy and traditional appearance. They usually have more storage space because the cabinet can extend right to the ground. This option is reliable for family bathrooms where storage is always needed. Floor-mount designs come in a wide range of sizes, from compact single vanities to large cabinets with multiple drawers.

Freestanding Vanities
Freestanding vanities rest on legs and sit against the wall, similar to a chest of drawers. They are easier to install than wall-mounted options and offer flexibility in placement. While installation is simpler, make sure the plumbing is connected securely for safety.

Finishes and Looks

Woodgrain / Timber
A timber vanity can bring warmth and character to the bathroom.You can keep a natural finish to highlight the wood or choose stained and painted options to suit your style. Besides, timber works well in many settings, from coastal to modern industrial.

Painted
Painted finishes give plenty of choice and flexibility. For example, white vanities feel fresh and timeless, while darker colours such as navy or charcoal add contrast. Bold shades can turn the vanity into the feature of the bathroom. They are also easy to refresh with a new coat of paint.

Statement Styles
A statement vanity is perfect if you want something eye-catching. This might be a bright colour, a unique shape, or materials such as stone or metal. These designs stand out best in simple bathrooms, letting the vanity become the centrepiece.

Basin and Countertop Styles

Above Counter
An above counter basin sits fully on the vanity top, which can add height and presence to the bathroom. Round and oval bowls could soften the look, while square shapes would create a sleek and modern style. They are often paired with wall-mounted taps for a more contemporary finish.

Semi-Inset
A semi-inset basin is partly set into the vanity with some height left above the surface. This style can combine the sculptural feel of a raised bowl with the practicality of a lower design. It would suit people who want a modern look but still need everyday convenience.

Semi-Recessed
Semi-recessed basins extend slightly over the front edge of the vanity. This could be a smart solution for narrow bathrooms or powder rooms, where saving space is important. For example, in a small guest bathroom, a semi-recessed basin can make the vanity easier to access without taking up too much depth.

Under Counter
An under counter basin is fitted below the surface, creating a clean and seamless finish. With no raised edges, it can be very easy to maintain. However, this style works best with solid countertops such as stone or engineered surfaces, as the edges need to be well sealed.

Ceramic Top
An integrated design means the basin and countertop are moulded as one piece, often in ceramic or stone-look material. This option is low-maintenance and reliable, since there are no joins where dirt could build up. In addition, it can give the bathroom a simple and consistent look that works well in both modern and traditional spaces.

Bathroom Mirror Design Ideas

Mirrors are not just practical, they also affect the overall style and feel of your bathroom. Large mirrors can make a small space feel bigger, while round or uniquely shaped mirrors can soften or add interest to the design.

Framed mirrors: Framed mirrors can add style and structure to your bathroom. You can match the frame to your vanity for a cohesive look or choose a contrasting material to create a focal point. Frames usually come in wood, metal, or painted finishes, letting you customise the mirror to suit your bathroom style.

Frameless Mirrors: Frameless mirrors are a stylish choice for modern bathrooms. Without a border, they give a clean and seamless appearance that works well in minimalist or contemporary spaces. Their simple design lets them blend naturally with the wall, while the open edges allow light to reflect more evenly, helping the room feel brighter and more spacious.

Mirrors with integrated lighting: Perfect for tasks like shaving or makeup, providing clear and even illumination. Or other mirrors with LED lights such as Frameless LED Mirror and Framed LED Mirror.

If you like unusual shapes such as irregular pebbles, arched or uneven designs, ADP has mirrors that can stand out as statement pieces, such as ADP Pebble Mirror 550x690mm Irregular.

Here is an example of a small bathroom renovation. A compact space can be paired with the ADP Halo Wall Basin Gloss White Right Tap Hole, along with a gold faucet (Nero Mecca Basin Mixer Brushed Yellow Gold) and marble-look tiles (Calacutta Oro 1200x600 Matt White Tile). This combination adds a touch of luxury while keeping the bathroom functional and practical.

Another project is for a standard bathroom. You can pair the mirror with ADP Joy Semi Inset Basin Matte White with Stario Honed Bianco Tile as a feature wall to brighten up the space. These glossy tiles reflect light beautifully, creating a clean and airy feel. Combined with brushed bronze fixtures (such as Nero Mecca Wall Basin/Bath Mixer Separate Back Plate 230mm Brushed Bronze), this design is both timeless and modern.

If you prefer a round mirror, you can choose the ADP Eclipse LED Mirror, available in both framed and frameless options. These LED mirrors are very convenient, allowing you to turn the lights on or off with just a simple touch on the mirror.

 

Overall, these mirrors add character and make your bathroom look different. It is best to match them with the rest of the style so they fit in well and do not clash.
