How to Choose a Drawers Only Bathroom Vanity

A drawers only vanity is a practical choice if you want everyday toiletries, towels and grooming products to be easy to organise and reach. Unlike a traditional cupboard, drawers bring stored items forward when opened, reducing the need to reach into the back of the cabinet.

Before ordering, consider the vanity width and depth, plumbing position, basin layout and how much storage your household actually needs. Compare other cabinet configurations in our Bathroom Vanity collection.

Choose the Right Size and Depth

Measure the available wall width and check clearance from toilets, shower screens and bathroom doors. For smaller ensuites, a 600mm to 900mm cabinet can provide useful drawer storage without taking over the room. Larger 1200mm to 1800mm vanities can suit family and master bathrooms where more storage and benchtop space are needed.

Depth also matters. A deeper cabinet usually provides more internal storage, but it projects further into the walkway.

Check the Plumbing Before Ordering

Plumbing compatibility is especially important with drawers because the waste pipe may pass through the same area as the drawer boxes. Many vanity drawers are designed with plumbing clearance, but the required waste position varies between models.

Take measurements or photos of the existing plumbing before ordering. If your rough-in is difficult to accommodate, compare other configurations such as Freestanding Vanities and confirm the final plumbing arrangement with your plumber.

Wall-Hung or Freestanding?

A wall-hung drawers-only vanity keeps the floor visible underneath and can create a lighter look, while a freestanding design provides a more grounded appearance. Wall-hung models require suitable wall fixing, so this should be planned before installation.

The current MBS range includes both options, along with curved, fluted and square-edge cabinet styles.

Plan the Basin and Top With the Drawers

The basin and waste position can affect usable drawer space. For larger vanities, decide whether you prefer one basin with more bench space or a double-basin arrangement for shared use.

Choose the basin configuration before the benchtop is prepared and compare suitable Vanity Tops as part of the complete setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why choose a drawers only bathroom vanity?

A drawers only vanity makes everyday items easier to organise and reach because the contents move out towards you when the drawer opens. This can be more convenient than reaching into the back of a deep cupboard, especially for toiletries, hair tools and smaller bathroom items. Drawer storage can work well in ensuites, family bathrooms and master bathrooms where organisation is a priority. If you are comparing different cabinet layouts, browse the Drawers Only Vanities or the wider Bathroom Vanity collection.

2. How do I choose the right size drawers only vanity?

Measure the available wall width, cabinet depth and clearance around nearby toilets, shower screens and doors. A 600–900mm vanity can suit many ensuites and smaller bathrooms, while 1200–1800mm options provide more storage and benchtop space for larger family bathrooms. The current MBS range includes widths from 600mm through to 1800mm, with most models around 460mm or 500mm deep. Do not choose by width alone; also check how far open drawers will project into the walkway.

3. Will drawers interfere with my existing plumbing?

They can if the waste pipe or water connections sit in the same space as the drawer boxes. Many bathroom vanities are designed with plumbing clearance, but the exact internal layout varies between models. This is especially important when replacing an older cupboard-style vanity with a drawers-only design. Before ordering, take measurements or photos of your existing plumbing and compare them with the cabinet specifications. If the rough-in is unusual, ask your plumber to confirm compatibility. You can also compare alternative layouts in the Freestanding Vanity collection.

4. Should I choose a wall-hung or freestanding drawers only vanity?

A wall-hung drawers-only vanity keeps the floor visible underneath, can make the bathroom feel lighter and makes floor cleaning easier. However, it requires suitable wall fixing and careful planning around plumbing. A freestanding model creates a more grounded appearance and may suit renovations where wall mounting is less practical. The current Drawers Only collection contains both styles, although wall-mounted options make up most of the range. Compare our Wall-Hung Vanities and Freestanding Vanities before deciding.

5. How many drawers should I choose?

The best drawer configuration depends on how many people use the bathroom and what you need to store. Fewer, deeper drawers can suit towels, larger bottles and appliances, while multiple shallower drawers can make smaller toiletries easier to separate and organise. Also check whether the drawer layout leaves enough room for the basin waste and plumbing. For shared bathrooms, wider 1200–1800mm cabinets can provide separate storage zones for different users. Compare the individual product drawings and specifications rather than assuming two vanities of the same width will have the same internal storage.

6. Should I choose a single or double basin with a drawers only vanity?

A single basin usually leaves more uninterrupted benchtop space and can preserve more usable drawer storage. A double-basin arrangement can be convenient in a shared family or master bathroom, but the additional basin and waste may reduce internal drawer space. The current MBS range includes selected 1200mm, 1500mm and 1800mm configurations with single- and double-bowl options. Decide on the basin layout before plumbing and benchtop preparation. You can compare suitable Bathroom Basins and Vanity Tops.

7. What should I confirm before ordering a drawers only vanity?

Before ordering, confirm the width, depth, mounting type, drawer configuration, plumbing position, basin layout and vanity-top requirements. Check that the drawers can open fully without hitting a toilet, shower screen, door or other fixture. For wall-hung models, also confirm that the wall can provide suitable support. If you are replacing an existing vanity, compare the new cabinet against your current waste and water connection positions rather than relying only on the overall size.
