The types of traditional vanity units available
Basins
Single Basin - All of our units up to 1400mm come with a single basin option if personal space and separate usage aren’t essential to you.
Double Basin - Ideal for large master bathrooms and couples, these units feature two basins and sets of taps. You get extra personal space and don’t have to wait for the other person to finish using the basin.
Colours
Matt Stone - This finish is contemporary yet timeless, seamlessly complementing various bathroom décors with its clean, refined look.
Matt White - A signature piece in Nôsa's premium bathroom collection, this colour range is understated and compatible with a wide array of colour schemes.
Matt Cream - This colour leans more into the country house and traditional period aesthetic, bringing a softer, more esoteric charm to your bathroom, cloakroom, or ensuite.
Dark Blue - Make a bold statement and create contrast with our dark blue vanity units, which add a touch of opulence to any space.
Sizes
What defines the traditional Nôsa vanity unit style?
Our traditional vanity units are defined by their classic architectural features, which are inspired by the Victorian and Edwardian eras. For example:
- Smooth lines
- Shaker-style flat, recessed panels
- Ornate detailing and tapered legs
- Traditional handles, typically in antique brass, polished chrome, black, or ceramic
- Plain white or marble countertops (Carrara marble, durable granite, or high-quality refined quartz) with integrated white basins
How to maintain a traditional vanity unit?
You should regularly clean your vanity unit with warm, soapy water immediately after use to maintain its streamlined appearance. We recommend cleaning at least once a week if you’re using it on a daily basis.
Simply rinse the surface with water and then dry it gently with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cloths or sponges and harsh chemicals, as they can damage the surface.

What brassware should I get with a traditional vanity unit?
Traditional vanity units go best with tap styles such as the Kensington Mixer tap. Its polished nickel finish gives your unit a sleek, elegant look and feel, and it features traditional hot and cold handles over a single handle.
In general, brushed gold and matt black taps pair perfectly with traditional vanity units by reinforcing their heritage-inspired appearance.
Is a traditional vanity unit right for me?
A traditional vanity unit can slot seamlessly into most bathrooms, cloakrooms, and ensuites and add to what’s already there.
However, it may not work in an ultra-modern bathroom with a more minimalist vibe. A more modern wall-hung vanity unit is more in-keeping with this type of setting.
How do I know what size traditional vanity unit is right for my bathroom?
Here’s a general guideline for which sizes best suit specific spaces.
- 600mm to 800mm - Best for standard ensuites, larger cloakrooms, and family bathrooms.
- 800mm to 1000mm - Suitable for master en suites and bigger family bathrooms.
- 1200mm to 1600mm - Tailor-made for large family bathrooms, en-suites, and high-end contemporary spaces. This range includes double-basin units for couples.
