A cloakroom vanity unit is a compact floor-standing or wall hung unit designed for smaller bathrooms, downstairs WCs and en-suites where space is limited. The defining feature is the width — cloakroom units typically run from 400 mm to 550 mm wide, making them narrow enough to fit where a standard 600 mm unit would not. Despite the reduced footprint, most include a built-in basin and at least one drawer or cupboard beneath for toiletries and storage. The basin is usually integrated into the top of the carcass, keeping the overall profile as slim as possible. Wall hung cloakroom vanity units free up floor space entirely, which can make a small WC or cloakroom feel noticeably less cramped — particularly useful in rooms under 1000 mm wide.
Sizes, Finishes and What to Check Before Buying
Cloakroom vanity units in this range are available in widths from 400 mm to 550 mm, with wall hung options offering additional floor clearance for a more open feel in tighter rooms. Finishes cover white gloss, light grey, dark grey and anthracite, with most ranges offering handles in chrome, matt black and brushed brass. Before ordering, check the waste pipe exit position — floor or wall — and confirm the unit depth against the available wall-to-door clearance. Most units arrive flat-pack with fixings and a template included. If you need a wider unit, see Freestanding Vanity Units for floor-standing options from 600 mm, or browse the full Vanity Units range to compare types and widths side by side.
