How to choose the right 1200mm vanity

The first decision at 1200mm is bowl configuration. A double bowl vanity gives each person their own basin and tap, which suits households where mornings involve two people at once, but it requires two waste points and two tap sets, so it's best planned before tiling and plumbing rough-in are finalised. A single wide basin at 1200mm keeps the plumbing simple — one waste, one tap — while still giving substantially more bench space either side of the bowl than a 900mm vanity, which some households prefer for laying out toiletries.

Storage at this width is usually split across multiple drawer banks or a mix of drawers and cupboards, giving clearly divided space rather than one large cavity. If you're renovating an existing bathroom and keeping the current plumbing positions, check whether your waste and supply points suit a double bowl layout before choosing that configuration, since relocating them adds cost. Confirm whether the vanity includes a top or is cabinet-only, and check the matching top's tap hole layout against your chosen configuration.
