An 1100mm vanity sits at the wider end of single-vanity sizing, giving you bench space, storage, and a basin footprint that works in a full-sized family bathroom or a generously proportioned ensuite. This collection covers freestanding, wall-hung, and floor-mounted 1100mm vanity units in a range of finishes, basin configurations, and storage layouts from brands stocked by The Blue Space.
What does 1100mm wide mean in practice?
An 1100mm vanity is 1100mm across the cabinet from one side to the other, not including any wall returns or side panels. At this width you can fit a single undermount or above-counter basin with around 300-400mm of clear bench on at least one side, or a stretched single basin that runs across much of the top. It is wide enough to feel generous in a standard bathroom but narrow enough to fit against a single wall without requiring a double-vanity layout.
Freestanding vs wall-hung 1100mm vanity units
Wall-hung 1100mm vanities are fixed to the wall with no floor contact, which makes the floor easier to clean and gives the bathroom a more open look. Freestanding (floor-mounted) units sit on legs or a full base and do not require as much structural wall reinforcement, which can simplify installation in a renovation where the wall framing is not easily accessible. Most 1100mm models are available in both configurations; the choice comes down to installation constraints and your cleaning preferences.
Single basin or double basin at 1100mm?
At 1100mm, most vanity units are designed for a single basin. A double basin at this width is possible but leaves very little bench space between the two bowls. If you need two separate sinks, consider a 1200mm or wider double vanity for a more comfortable layout. Single basin units at 1100mm give you more usable bench surface and typically a larger basin bowl than you would get in the same space split two ways.
What finishes are available for 1100mm vanities?
The most common cabinet finishes at this size are matte white, gloss white, natural oak, and concrete grey. Darker options such as charcoal, navy, and black are available from some ranges. Bench tops and basins typically come in engineered stone, vitreous china, or solid surface materials. Cabinet carcasses are usually moisture-resistant MDF or plywood with a thermofoil or lacquered finish. Drawer hardware finish should coordinate with your tapware finish for a consistent look.
Storage configurations to look for
At 1100mm wide, you typically have enough internal space for a mix of drawers and a door cabinet, or an all-drawer layout. Soft-close drawers and push-to-open mechanisms are common at mid-range and above. Look for at least one full-width drawer near the top for everyday items and a deeper cabinet section underneath for taller bottles. Some models include an integrated shaving cabinet above, though most are sold separately.
Which brands stock 1100mm vanity units?
Brands with 1100mm models available at The Blue Space include Fienza, whose Kaya and Tono ranges cover this width in multiple finishes, and Timberline, which offers solid timber-look cabinetry suited to warmer bathroom palettes. Meir and ADP also carry selected 1100mm configurations. Brand choice affects lead times, warranty terms, and whether the basin is included or sold separately, so check each product listing for what is supplied.
What to check before you buy an 1100mm vanity
Measure the full alcove or wall space including any door swing clearance before ordering. Confirm whether the basin and bench top are included or priced separately. Check the rough-in depth, which typically ranges from 380mm to 550mm, against your available floor space. Verify the taphole configuration matches your intended tapware style. Wall-hung units require a minimum 150mm structural stud or a wall-mounted rail system rated for the unit's weight plus daily load.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard depth of an 1100mm vanity unit?
Most 1100mm vanity units have a cabinet depth of 450mm to 550mm, measured from the wall face to the front of the drawer or door. Shallower 380mm profiles exist for tight spaces. Always check the rough-in depth on the product specification, as it determines how much floor space the unit will occupy.
Does an 1100mm vanity need special wall reinforcement?
Wall-hung 1100mm vanities require fixing into structural studs or a horizontal rail system rated for at least 80-100kg. If your wall is tiled and the stud positions do not align, a steel mounting frame installed behind the wall during the rough-in stage is the standard solution. Floor-mounted units have no special wall requirement.
Can I fit a double basin in an 1100mm vanity?
Technically yes, but two basins in 1100mm leaves less than 200mm of bench between them, which most people find too cramped for daily use. A single basin at this width gives a better balance of bench space and bowl size. For a true double-basin setup, a 1200mm or 1500mm vanity is a more practical starting point.
What materials are 1100mm vanity cabinets made from?
Most 1100mm vanity cabinets use moisture-resistant MDF or plywood as the carcass, finished with thermofoil, two-pack lacquer, or a timber veneer. Bench tops are typically engineered stone, vitreous china, or solid surface. Plywood carcasses generally offer better long-term moisture resistance than MDF in high-humidity bathrooms.
How much should I expect to pay for an 1100mm vanity in Australia?
Entry-level 1100mm vanity units start around $600-$900 for floor-mounted models with a basic finish. Mid-range units with soft-close drawers and an integrated basin sit between $1,000 and $2,500. Premium engineered stone bench tops or solid timber cabinetry can push the price above $3,000. Prices typically exclude tapware and installation.
