900mm Vanities with Side Drawers

A 900mm vanity is a workhorse size for compact and mid-size bathrooms, and putting the drawer bank to one side of the basin makes the most of the width. With drawers stacked on the left, the layout can dodge awkward plumbing and put storage exactly where you reach for it. This guide covers choosing a 900mm wall-hung vanity with a side drawer bank.

Why a side drawer bank

Placing the drawers to one side rather than under the basin means the top drawers aren’t cut around the bowl and trap, so they’re full-depth and far more usable. A left-hand bank suits rooms where the wall or a door sits to the right, or where the plumbing runs make a left stack the tidier option. The result is a proper set of drawers for daily items instead of a shallow tray notched around pipework.

Fitting a 900mm unit

At 900mm the vanity suits a bathroom that’s tight but not tiny — wide enough for a comfortable basin and real storage, narrow enough to leave circulation space. As a wall-hung cabinet it keeps the floor clear and the room feeling open, and lets you mop straight underneath. Make sure there’s solid in-wall fixing to carry the loaded weight of the drawers.

Getting the details right

Look for soft-close drawer runners and a finish that copes with splashes. Check which side your door swing and towel rail sit on so the drawers open into clear space, and confirm the basin position leaves enough bench beside it. Match the handles or choose a handleless push-to-open front to suit the look you’re after.
