Nôsa Traditional Vanity Units Page 2 of 2
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.
