Floating vanities offer a diversity of design opportunities which allow you to give the bathroom a glamorous, minimalist, luxurious, spacious or dramatic look. Their versatility and wide range of designs and styles allows them to look stylish in any type of bathroom. Let’s review some of the benefits that come with them.

Spaciousness.
Because floating vanities are suspended above floor level and have to be mounted on the bathroom wall, they have the ability to make the room seem more spacious and airy. It’s an effect similar to that created by floating media units or consoles which are used in living rooms

Functionality.
Not only that floating vanities can enhance the overall spacious look of a bathroom but they also maintain the focus on functionality by being so sleek and simple. This makes them ideal for modern and contemporary homes which are usually minimalist.

Accessories.
Floating vanities can be interesting design elements on their own but they often need accessories to complement them. Mirrors are the most common accessory. A large mirror can enhance the simplistic look of the vanity and draw the eye upwards.
