Grey Traditional Vanity Units
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.
