Whether you’re embarking on a bathroom renovation project, or looking to update your existing bathroom, you’re likely facing the question of bespoke vs mass produced bathroom furniture like vanity units and storage units.
Well, you’re in the right place. In this blog we’ll explore why every bathroom needs a vanity unit, and as manufacturers of bespoke pieces, we’ll explore why handmade bathroom vanity units and bathroom furniture pieces are superior to mass produced models.
Let’s get into it.
Why Every Bathroom Needs a Vanity Unit
Vanity units do what even the most beautiful wall-mounted basin or pedestal sink simply can’t. More than a single function item, vanity units combine the functionality of a basin with vital storage capacity.
Helping to cut clutter, deliver an aesthetic impact no stand alone basin can achieve, provide your bathroom with an all important focal point, and contribute to its wow factor, a vanity unit is a bathroom essential.
Handmade Bathroom Vanity Units Vs Mass Produced Models
While mass produced units may be easier on your wallet, opting for a bespoke, handmade bathroom vanity unit has too many benefits to ignore.
Quality
Bespoke vanity units like ours offer a higher level of quality craftsmanship, lending your bathroom a sense of luxury, and supporting the quality of its finish. – Looking for the wow factor as soon as the bathroom door is opened? Opt for a bespoke model.
Greater Range of Designs
Rather than settling for the limited designs available via major typical bathroom retailers, working with bespoke specialists like Parker Howley offers you access to a greater range of designs.
Tailoring Options
Working with a bespoke manufacturer like us also offers you the ability to tailor your handmade bathroom vanity unit to your unique space, your most exacting practical requirements and aesthetic tastes. Go bespoke for a no compromise purchase, and a final product that transforms your bathroom design.
Make a Statement
It’s hard to make a visual statement and max out on your bathroom’s visual impact, with mass produced furniture designs you’ve likely seen in the bathrooms of friends and family, and on the website of every big box retailer. By going bespoke and tailoring standard models, you can guarantee that your finished bathroom design is as unique as you are.
Vanity Units of Your Creation
At Parker Howley, we make dream bathrooms a reality, by giving you the control to create the perfect handmade bathroom vanity unit for your bathroom, guided by industry specialists.
Our vanity unit models are manufactured in Yorkshire UK, by skilled craftspeople, from the highest-quality materials, using traditional techniques.
Getting Started
Before getting stuck in, it’s key to establish two key points to help direct your search for the perfect base model:
- Are you looking for a single or double vanity unit?
- Do you prefer the visual impact of countertop or undermount basins?
Then it’s time to begin the search for your favourite unit design. Our models are designed by seasoned bathroom specialists in collaboration with leading interior design studios like House Nine Designs and Sophie Paterson, making them a stunning addition to any home. But our designs need only be the start.
Tailoring Options
Having chosen a favourite design, you can work with our team to:
- Choose between a wall-hung or freestanding model
- Choose between a plain wood or painted finish. We use high-quality prime European oak for our plain wood finished units, and American tulipwood for painted units.
- Dictate the unit’s colour or choose for a huge range of stains by market leaders Rubio Monocoat.
- Choose between countertop materials (wood or hand select quartz stone).
- Select the perfect sized unit for your bathroom.
- Select from a range of countertop and undermount basins, and a range of wall-mounted, tall and standard taps.
- Find the perfect final touches by browsing our range of designer knobs and handles.
- Customise your units internal storage and design. Want to combine the designs of two of our units? Want us to bring a unit design you’ve seen elsewhere to life? Looking to tailor the internal storage to your specific needs? We can bring your perfect handmade bathroom vanity unit to life.
Bespoke Storage
We also manufacture storage units, like those in our range of tall boy units, and we can work with you to create an entirely custom design.
Like our handmade bathroom vanity units, our tall boy models are made in the same Yorkshire factory, by the same skilled hands, using the same traditional techniques and the finest high-quality materials.
We also offer very similar tailoring options, enabling you to choose between wall-hung or freestanding models, plain or painted/stained finishes, choose the colour, select the unit size, pick the perfect handles, tailor the door design and finish (reeded/fluted/inlaid fretwork panels) as well as customise interior storage space.
