1200mm Double-Basin Vanity: Sizing and Storage

A 1200mm vanity is the smallest width that comfortably carries two basins, making it the go-to size for shared main bathrooms. In a cool dark-grey finish it anchors the room while giving two people their own space at the mirror each morning.

Is 1200mm enough for two bowls

Twin basins at 1200mm sit close together, so each person gets a workable but not generous zone. If elbow room matters more than a second bowl, a single wide basin on the same cabinet can free up bench space and still serve two. Decide early, because the top and the tap holes are cut to suit one layout or the other. Confirm your wall has room for two sets of tapware without the spouts clashing.

Storage under a shared vanity

Two basins mean two waste traps, which eats into the cabinet’s usable volume. Look for a drawer layout that works around the plumbing — often U-shaped drawers that wrap the traps — so you still get real storage rather than blocked-off voids. Deep bottom drawers suit towels and cleaning supplies, while a shallow top drawer keeps daily items tidy.

Working with the dark finish

Grey cabinetry pairs naturally with white or stone-look tops and reads as calm rather than stark. Keep the surrounding tiles lighter to balance the weight of a wide dark unit, and echo the tone in your tapware.
