Vanity Units: an effective solution for storage under a basin

When planning the layout and design of your bathroom, storage under the basin is often the first thing that comes to mind. Good storage under the basin is essential in a bathroom for towels, makeup items, skin care and hair products, and even toilet rolls. So a vanity unit is often the key to creating a balance between functionality and aesthetics. A good vanity unit not only provides you with storage but it can also add a visual coherence to the room design.

How to optimise the storage under your basin

A well-designed bathroom is not just about choosing beautiful furniture – it's also about making room for everything you use in everyday life. To help optimise the storage area under the basin you should start with a checklist of your requirements and needs.

Survey the space

How much storage space do you need and what items should be stored in the bathroom? Smaller items, like toothpaste and makeup, require less space than large bottles or cleaning products. Do you need to store your towels in the bathroom? And what about your laundry – do you want to keep this stored in the bathroom as well?

Take advantage of technology

Many of our vanity units at Dansani have clever features such as soft-close and built-in drawer dividers that help you keep your belongings organised. In this way we help you keep an organised overview of the drawers, so your things don't slide around and look untidy or create a mess.

When you choose a vanity unit from Dansani you get a solution that not only works well but also looks great – and that can be modified to suit your home.

Smart storage solutions for under a basin

The space under the basin is often difficult to use effectively. That's why it's important to choose clever storage solutions that make everyday life easier. If you want to improve the storage are under your basin you can make optimal use of it with:

  • Modular systems: Furniture from the Dansani Luna range allows you to combine different modular sizes or configurations and accessorise them as you choose so that you can tailor the solution exactly to your needs. Why not put a couple of vanity units together with a double basin? This will result in great options for storing e.g. makeup, toothbrushes, creams and hair products under your basin so you get a really effective solution in the bathroom.
  • Integrated electrical outlets: Some ranges have the option of a charger socket pre-installed in the drawer so your shaver or electric toothbrush can always be at hand ready for use and it becomes easier for you to carry out your daily care routines with them stored away when not in use.

Whether you need a design with a classic style or more modern features you will find solutions from Dansani that fit your bathroom perfectly.

Choose the right basin with storage

When choosing a basin with storage it is important to find a model that matches both your style and your practical needs. At Dansani we have many different options and the choice depends on several factors:

Space in the bathroom

In small spaces compact solutions are often needed. You can choose a small basin like our Micro Larghetto, which is actually reversible, so you can have the tap right where you need it. Under the basin you can have a narrow vanity unit with doors so this basin with storage is the perfect solution for small bathrooms. 

A basin with storage is not only practical – it also sets the tone for the rest of the bathroom and can give the room a boost both aesthetically and functionally.

Tips for creating a storage area under basins in small bathrooms

When space is limited creative solutions are required to get the most out of your bathroom. With the right solutions from Dansani even the smallest bathrooms can become both practical and stylish. Here are some specific tips for under basin storage in small spaces:

Wall-hung vanity units

These units create more floor space by making the room feel lighter and more airy. Ranges such as Dansani Mido+ and Dansani Luna have many wall-mounted models that are perfect for small bathrooms.

Take advantage of depth

Even if the space is narrow deep drawers can provide plenty of space for storage. Another solution could be a taller bottom drawer which gives you extra storage under your basin.

Clever storage options

Use drawer dividers and storage boxes to avoid clutter. This gives you an excellent overview of your belongings and you can take the storage boxes out of the drawers when you need them – and you can easily put them back again after use.

Organising storage under the basin – avoid clutter

It can be tempting to just place things randomly in drawers and cupboards but good organisation makes everyday life much easier. Here are some practical tips for staying tidy and by using these tips you can get more enjoyment out of your bathroom and ensure it stays tidy:

Sort your belongings

Collect similar items in the same compartments. Use drawer dividers from Dansani to create a fixed place for everything from make-up and toothpaste to cleaning products. You can also use other cabinets in your bathroom to optimise the space.

Make use of hidden spaces

Our beautiful vanity units from the Dansani Calidris range are available with an inner drawer which makes optimal use of the space and storage during washing. With this vanity unit you create a calm and stylish look as it seems there is only one drawer at first glance – at the same time you get the necessary space for storage under the basin with the inner drawer.

Think minimalist

Remove the things you rarely use and store them somewhere else. A well-organised unit always feels more spacious.
