Timber 1200mm wall hung vanity with twin basins and an oval backlit mirror

1200mm Vanities

Is a 1200mm vanity right for your bathroom?

A 1200mm vanity is the usual choice for a main bathroom or a generous ensuite. It gives you a long run of benchtop either side of the basin, so there is room for a soap dispenser, a tray and everyday products without clutter.

Before you choose, measure the full wall. Then take off the space you need for the shower screen, the door swing and the toilet, and leave a small gap at each end so the cabinet does not look squeezed. If the wall is tight once those are allowed for, a 900mm vanity will usually sit better and still give good storage.

The Aulic Venetta 1200mm

This collection features the Aulic Venetta Fluted Framed Wall Hung Vanity in Harvest Oak. The fluted fronts add texture, and the warm timber tone softens a bathroom full of hard tiled surfaces. It is wall hung, so the floor tiles run right through underneath and the room is easier to mop. You can choose a ceramic or stone top. See the full Aulic range for other styles from the same collection.

Planning the plumbing and basin

One basin or two: a 1200mm top can hold a single centred basin with plenty of bench either side. Two basins need two wastes and two sets of tapware, so plan them with your plumber early.
Tapware: decide between a basin mixer on the benchtop and a wall mixer with a spout. Wall-mounted taps keep the bench clear but must be roughed in before tiling, and the spout must reach the bowl.
Height: a wall hung cabinet is fixed at a height you choose. Allow for the top and basin when you set it.
Wall support: a long wall hung cabinet with a stone top is heavy, so the wall needs solid fixing points behind the sheeting.

Finish the look

Timber-look cabinets pair well with warm brushed brass and gold tapware and natural stone looks. For a quieter scheme, match the oak tone with matte white tiles and black fittings. Browse all wall hung vanities or the full vanities range to compare sizes side by side.

FAQs

How wide should my bathroom wall be for a 1200mm vanity?

The wall needs to be wider than 1200mm once the shower screen, door and toilet are allowed for. Leave a small gap at each end so the vanity does not look cramped and the drawers open freely. If space is tight, a 900mm vanity is the usual step down.

Can a 1200mm vanity take two basins?

Two basins can fit on a 1200mm top, but the bench space between them becomes narrow. Many people find a single centred basin with bench space either side more practical. If you want two, plan two wastes and two mixers with your plumber.

What top options come with the Aulic Venetta 1200mm?

The Venetta 1200mm is offered with a ceramic or stone top. Check the product page for the current top choices and the basin that suits each one.

Is a 1200mm vanity too big for an ensuite?

In a generous ensuite it can work well and gives you a proper benchtop. In a standard ensuite it often crowds the toilet and door, and a 900mm vanity leaves more room to move. Measure the clear wall before you decide.
