Is a floating vanity better than a floor-standing one?

For most Malaysian bathrooms, yes, because the floor gets wet and a floating vanity never sits in water. A floor-standing vanity suits a dry powder room or a classic look, as long as the bathroom has a good shower screen.

What material should a bathroom vanity be made of?

Use a carcass built for a wet room: moisture-resistant plywood with laminate doors, waterproof foam board, or full aluminium. Ordinary particle board swells once water gets in at the edges.

Should I choose a vessel basin or an undermount basin?

A vessel basin sits on the top and is the most decorative, but it needs a tall or wall-mounted tap. An undermount or moulded basin leaves a flat top that is easier to wipe. Pick the basin before the vanity is drawn.

Can I add a mirror cabinet above the vanity?

Yes. A mirror cabinet is usually quoted as its own item and should be built to the same wet-room standard as the vanity, because shower steam collects on and around it.

Are the designs on this page real ClickBina projects?

No. They are illustrative concept designs that show style options. Your vanity is designed and quoted to your own bathroom, basin and storage needs.

Bathroom Vanity Cabinet Design: 12 Ideas for Malaysian Homes

Q: How much does a custom vanity cost in Malaysia?

ClickBina's vanity cost guide puts a custom vanity at RM800 – RM3,500 per unit in the Klang Valley, excluding the basin and tap. Long vanities are priced by the foot run, and the top is priced separately.

A good bathroom vanity design starts with two choices: a wall-hung (floating) vanity that keeps the floor clear and dry, or a floor-standing vanity that reads like furniture. Floating vanities suit most condo and terrace bathrooms because water on the floor never reaches the cabinet; floor-standing ones suit dry powder rooms and classic interiors. The basin type, the top and the carcass material then decide the look and the price. Use the filters below to narrow the 12 concept designs by style or home type.

How to choose a bathroom vanity cabinet design

Start with how wet the bathroom gets, not with the style. A bathroom where the whole floor is splashed every day needs a different vanity from a dry powder room that is only mopped. Then note where the water point and the floor or wall waste are, and decide which basin you want. Those three facts decide most of the vanity cabinet design.

Wall-hung (floating) vanity if the floor gets wet. The cabinet never sits in water, the floor is easy to clean, and the room looks bigger.
Floor-standing vanity if the room is dry or you want a furniture look, such as a classic shaker unit on feet.
Double basin only if the wall is long enough and two people really use it at the same time. Otherwise a single basin with a longer top gives more counter space.
Open shelf or open frame if you like towels on show and keep things tidy; closed drawers hide more.

For small common toilets, a slim vanity with a moulded basin or a compact two-door unit keeps the door swing clear. The guest toilet and powder room guide covers how much vanity a small room can take.

Vanity cabinet styles compared

Style	What it looks like	What drives the cost	Upkeep	Suits
Floating vanity	Wall-hung box, floor clear below	Carcass board, drawers, top	Low; easy to mop under	Condo, terrace
Double basin	Long top with two basins	Length, top material, two water points	Medium; more top to wipe	Semi-D master bath
Aluminium	Flat panels, powder-coated	Aluminium frame and doors	Low; will not swell	Wet family bathroom
Japandi fluted	Fluted fronts, warm stone-look top	Fluting, top material	Wipe the grooves dry	Condo, terrace
Classic shaker	Framed doors, knobs, feet	Painting, hardware	Paint touch-ups; keep dry	Semi-D, terrace
Open frame	Timber-look frame, open shelf	Frame finish, basin	Shelf on show	Landed homes
Seamless top	Basin and top in one piece	Solid surface fabrication	No joints to clean	Minimalist bathroom

Quick pick by bathroom and home type

Bathroom	Usually works	Watch for
Small condo common bathroom	Compact floating vanity or moulded-basin unit, light colours	Door swing, toilet clearance, management rules on hacking
Condo master bathroom	Floating vanity with drawers, mirror cabinet above	Wall strength behind tiles; steam reaching the mirror cabinet
Terrace family bathroom	Aluminium or waterproof-board vanity	Daily wet floor; older pipes and uneven walls
Semi-D master bathroom	Long double-basin vanity	Two water points and wastes; long top joints
Guest powder room	Floor-standing classic or dark-tone vanity	Small floor area; lighting for a closed-in room

Practical limits to check before you commit

Water from above and below. Most vanities fail from a leaking tap or basin seal, or from standing on a wet floor. Choose the carcass board for the wettest case, not the driest.
Wall strength. A floating vanity with a stone top is heavy. It needs a solid wall or proper fixings, and a hollow partition needs a different plan.
Basin and tap together. The cut-out, the tap height and the drawer layout all follow the basin. Pick it first; the bathroom basin types guide and the basin tap types guide explain which taps reach over a vessel basin.
Pipes inside the cabinet. The trap and the water point take up the middle of the cabinet, so drawers under a basin are shaped around them.
Measure after the wet works are fixed. Tiles and screed change the final size, so the vanity is measured once the bathroom layout is decided.

What these vanity designs cost

A custom vanity is quoted as a unit. ClickBina's bathroom vanity cabinet cost guide puts a custom-built vanity at RM800 – RM3,500 per unit in the Klang Valley, excluding the basin and tap. Long vanities and full runs of bathroom storage are priced by the foot run of carcass instead: MR plywood with laminate doors RM350 – RM600 per ft run, solid-surface or PVC-wrapped doors RM500 – RM900 per ft run, and full aluminium RM400 – RM700 per ft run.

The top is priced separately per foot run: solid surface RM150 – RM350, quartz RM250 – RM600 and sintered stone RM400 – RM900 per ft run. Because a vanity top is short, the step up to a premium top costs less than it does in a kitchen. The solid surface countertop guide explains why a moulded basin and top in one piece suits a bathroom.
