Help with a shaving cabinet
Hi all.
You've probably seen me ask many questions along the way for this planned renovation :)
It's booked in to start end of next month, so making final decisions now.
New layout as below: (ensuite comes off main bedroom, and is 1770x2220, with a sliding door entry opposite the window slightly offset to the right that slides towards the left)
Window is white.
Vanity is 900mm wall hung as below (teak with white caeserstone top and white bowl)
Tile
For any shaving cabinet, my timber wall is apparently 90mm deep and most cabinets are 140-150mm deep, so there will be some overhang.
My question is:
- should I do a 900mm mirror cabinet + some kind of recess shelf over the toilet? (as per plan above)
OR
- 900mm mirror cabinet + no shelf
OR
-1500mm mirror cabinet in centre (across is 1770)
thanks!
- Kat

Comments (15)[houzz=] Here is another that uses the corner well. This also will help offset the lack of symmetry on the range wall as well. Your cabinet maker would need to work out all the measurements. The base drawers to the right of the range may need to be reduced in size to be the same as the ones on the left, which will also help balance the wall. This tall unit to the left of the range will help to balance the large pantry on the right. Where the below picture does not show it, you would have room to place a small matching wall cabinet to the left of the corner tower to balance and to balance out the space between the window. Then you can still have some type of unit to the left of the sink with the appliance garage, but it would not need to be quite as wide and would give some space next to the sink. Look at this more and see what you think. There are some very unique features to your plan. A very high level of customization and much thought has gone into it. It is going to be beautiful. Would love to see the final plan and pictures of the final product. Let me know if you want us to look further....See MoreNeed help finding solid wood bathroom vanities

Comments (7)I agree you probably need to centre the vanity and the cabinet on the wall or they could look a bit odd! You don't say why you don't want a space between the window and the vanity - just my opinion, but I would think 300mm could be quite useful for a bin, a clothes basket or box, or a small stool for putting clothes on? The only alternative to leaving a space, is to fill it with something as the response above suggested. To avoid it interfering with the window, you could make this something lower, so it sits level with the top of the vanity. This could be built in and the wall lining put over it to create a single "shelf" level with the underside of the vanity top, or if you can find some freestanding open shelving of the correct width, which could also be cut to the correct height, you could wedge that between the wall and the vanity side when fitting the vanity. Just bear in mind also, that you'll lose some of your towel hanging space if you put something too high in the space....See MoreSink mixer help needed

2 years agoHi Katrina, we had similar discussions for our bathroom! We have a half recessed medicine cabinet above our vanity, and yes it sits off the wall slightly but isn't a big deal at all - we have an old house and simply had it custom made along with the vanity unit so they matched. If I were you, I wouldn't make the mirror cabinet the same width as the vanity cabinet, I think it would be more visually appealing if the mirror was slightly shorter in width - maybe 100-150mm shorter each side, but still centred above your basin. I hope this helps! Good luck x here's ours do you can have a look
