There are many materials to use in bathrooms, from traditional tiles and stone to various unique types of wood or glass, and today we’ll speak about timber on the whole, to be precise, about timber vanities as they are currently all the rage and can be seen in many bathrooms of various styles.
Bathrooms with a timber vanity evoke a warm atmosphere and are a great way to introduce a natural element to the space. Timber vanities can match literally any bathroom, from vintage to minimalist, from sophisticated modern to rustic. Such units are usually floating ones, though you may find a lot of classic timber vanities, too. Timber vanities usually give enough storage space and can include both open and closed storage compartments. The design and color of the stain depend on the look you want – there are small and large vanities, sleek and whimsical ones, light-stained and dark-stained, so everyone will find something for their bathroom.

Even if the timber has been treated to withstand moisture (which most are) the water can penetrate the protective coating if not wiped away. So remember that to make any timber vanity unit work in a bathroom it needs to be well treated, regularly maintained and recoated for water protection, regularly dried when splashes occur to prevent water damage, cleaned with a mild, non-acidic and nonabrasive detergent and soft cloth. Timber vanity units will age and get water damage if they’re not looked after well. If you absolutely love a timber vanity unit in the bathroom, opt for a different benchtop which is hardy to water (manufactured stone, laminex etc). This can keep the vanity itself protected. It’s an ideal solution for family bathrooms. Alternatively, you can convert a buffet or drawer unit into a vanity. Sometimes these can be more affordable and come in a better right size for your bathroom. Get beautiful examples below and get inspired to rock an ultimate timber vanity in your own bathroom!
