ADP Vanities: Our Complete Guide to Australia’s Favourite Bathroom Vanity Units

So, you’re standing in your bathroom. You’re looking at that tired old vanity. You know the one. The laminate is peeling just a little at the corner, the drawers don’t quite close properly anymore, and it just doesn’t spark joy. Not one bit. We get it. We’ve seen it a thousand times here at The Blue Space. A bathroom renovation can feel like a huge deal, and the vanity is often the centrepiece, the thing that sets the tone for the entire room. It’s where form and function have to meet perfectly. And that's exactly why we need to talk about ADP. When customers ask us for a recommendation that ticks all the boxes – style, quality, and Australian-made – our conversation almost always turns to ADP vanities. They just get it right.

Alright, So What Exactly Are ADP Vanities?

Let’s cut through the noise. ADP stands for Architectural Design Products. And what they do is make absolutely beautiful bathroom furniture, right here in Australia. For over 20 years, they’ve been building a reputation for quality that we, as industry experts, really trust.

Think of them as the perfect sweet spot. They’re not some generic, mass-produced flat-pack you’ll regret in a year. No way. But they’re also not so ridiculously high-end that you need to remortgage your house. What you get is a piece of furniture that feels solid, looks incredible, and is designed for real life. For Australian life.

Look, the way we see it is this: an ADP bathroom vanity unit is an investment in your home. It’s the hero piece. It’s the thing you’ll use every single day, multiple times a day. You’ll lean on it while you brush your teeth, you’ll store all your bits and pieces inside, and it’ll be the first thing guests notice. So, it needs to be good. Really good. And ADP vanities are just that. They use top-notch materials, clever designs, and they offer so many options that you can find the perfect fit for your exact style. It’s that simple.

Where Do These Vanities Actually Fit In?

Honestly? Everywhere. We’ve helped customers fit ADP vanities into every kind of Aussie home you can imagine. It’s one of the reasons we’re so confident in recommending them. They’re chameleons.

Picture a classic suburban family home in Sydney. The main bathroom is a busy place. Kids, chaos, and a whole lot of stuff. Here, a big, sturdy 1500mm or even an 1800mm double bowl vanity from ADP’s Glacier range is a lifesaver. Deep drawers, plenty of bench space, and a finish that can handle the morning rush. It just works.

But then think about a sleek, modern apartment in Melbourne. Space is tight. Every centimetre counts. This is where a wall-hung vanity shines. It creates a sense of openness, making the room feel bigger than it is. We’ve seen so many customers fall in love with ADP’s wall-hung vanities because they offer that clean, floating look without sacrificing storage. Pair one with a minimalist basin and tap, and the whole space just feels elevated. Sophisticated.

And what about a cosy Queenslander with beautiful timber floors? You need something with warmth and character. This is where ADP's solid timber vanities come in. They bring a natural, organic feel to the bathroom that’s just stunning. It’s not a sterile white box; it’s a space with soul.

Even for the smallest spaces, like a powder room or a tiny ensuite, there’s a solution. We often point people towards ADP’s small vanities or their clever slimline designs. They prove you don’t need a massive footprint to have a big impact.

Let’s Break Down the Different Styles

One of the best things about ADP is the sheer amount of choice. It means you can find a vanity that feels like it was made just for you. Here at The Blue Space, we stock a huge range of their bathroom vanities and furniture, and these are some of the most popular styles our customers love.

The Textures and Finishes

This is where you can really inject your personality.

• Fluted and Curved Designs: These are huge right now. A fluted vanity adds incredible texture and a touch of luxury, while curved vanities soften the whole room and are great for traffic flow. No more bruised hips. They feel special, and they make a statement.

• Classic Whites: You can never, ever go wrong with a crisp white bathroom vanity. It’s timeless, bright, and makes any space feel cleaner and bigger. ADP offers a range of white finishes, from matte to gloss, so you can get the exact look you want.

• Hamptons Style: For that elegant, coastal vibe, ADP’s Hamptons vanities are perfect. Think shaker-style cabinetry, beautiful handles, and a sense of relaxed sophistication. They are consistently a bestseller for us.

The Mounting and Configuration

This is about how the vanity fits and functions in your space.

• Wall Hung: As we mentioned, these are brilliant for creating an illusion of space. They float off the floor, making cleaning underneath a breeze. A total game-changer for smaller bathrooms.

• Freestanding: A freestanding vanity is more like a traditional piece of furniture. It offers heaps of storage and has a really solid, grounded presence in the room. Great for larger bathrooms or for hiding tricky plumbing.

• Custom Options: This is where ADP truly excels. If you have an awkward space or a very specific vision, we can work with you to create a custom ADP vanity. You can choose the colour, the top, the basin, the handles… everything. It’s your dream vanity, brought to life.

The Real Benefits of Choosing an ADP Vanity

Okay, let’s get down to it. Why do we recommend them so often? It’s not just because they look good. It’s about the long-term value and peace of mind.

1. They’re Aussie Made, and That Matters.

Look, we’re proud to support local. ADP designs and manufactures its products in New South Wales. This isn’t just a nice patriotic point. It has real-world benefits for you. It means the quality control is exceptional. It means they’re building furniture designed for Australian conditions. And it means if you ever need a spare part or have an issue down the track, help is right here, not in another hemisphere. The lead times are also generally much better than for imported goods. It’s a huge plus.

2. The Quality You Can Feel.

The first time you open and close an ADP drawer, you’ll feel the difference. They use premium hardware, like soft-close hinges and drawer runners, as standard. The finishes are durable and moisture-resistant. The joins are seamless. These are not flimsy, throwaway pieces. They are built to last through years of steamy showers, toothpaste splatters, and daily use. You are buying a piece of quality furniture for your bathroom, and it feels like it.

3. So. Much. Choice.

We’ve touched on this already, but it’s a massive benefit. With ADP, you’re not stuck with just two or three options. Their most popular range, the ADP Glacier collection, for example, has an incredible number of combinations. You can choose from a huge palette of colours. You can select different basin styles. You can pick your benchtop material. This level of choice means you don't have to compromise on your vision. You can get the exact look and functionality you need for your space, whether it’s a tiny powder room or a sprawling master bathroom.

4. Clever and Practical Storage.

ADP thinks about how people actually use their bathrooms. Their designs aren’t just about looking pretty. They focus on smart storage. Think deep drawers that can hold upright bottles, internal compartments to keep things organised, and options for combining your vanity with a matching bathroom tallboy for even more space. A clutter-free bathroom is a happy bathroom. And ADP helps you achieve that. Easily.

A Few Other Things to Keep in Mind

Before you jump in and choose your vanity, our team always recommends thinking about a few practical details. Getting these right at the start saves a lot of headaches later.

Measure Twice, Order Once!

This is the golden rule of any renovation. Know your exact measurements. Think about the swing of the door. Where are your plumbing pipes located? Will the drawers be able to open fully without hitting the shower screen or the toilet? ADP offers a huge spectrum of sizes, from compact 400mm to 600mm units, all the way up to massive 2000mm-plus statement pieces.

The most popular sizes we sell are often in the middle range. A 750mm or 900mm vanity is a perfect single-person unit for a standard bathroom, giving you a good balance of bench space and storage. If you have a bit more room, stepping up to a 1200mm vanity allows for a generous single bowl with acres of bench space, or even a cosy double bowl setup. And for the ultimate couple's bathroom, the 1000mm to 1800mm options are a dream. No more bumping elbows in the morning. So, grab your tape measure and figure out what will work best.

Benchtop and Basin Choices

Think about how you’ll use the vanity. Do you need lots of clear bench space for makeup and toiletries? Then maybe an integrated basin or a semi-inset basin is a good choice. Or do you love the look of a statement vessel basin that sits on top of the counter? ADP offers a range of materials, from classic ceramic tops to durable acrylic and luxurious cherry pie solid surfaces. Each has its own look and feel, so consider what fits your style and your life.

Don't Forget the Details

The final touches make all the difference. ADP allows you to choose your handles on many of their ranges, or you can opt for a sleek, handle-less fingerpull design. Think about how the tapware and the vanity will look together. Will the mirror or shaving cabinet above it be a good match? We believe a cohesive design is what makes a bathroom feel truly special. It’s about making all the separate elements talk to each other. And starting with a beautiful, high-quality ADP vanity is the best foundation you can give your new bathroom. It just is.
