The best wall hung vanities for apartment bathrooms are the 600mm to 900mm floating range from Zure. These sizes clear tight rough-ins, keep the floor visible in small rooms, and still fit drawers for real storage. Pick 600mm for very tight ensuites, 750mm for extra drawer space, and 900mm where the layout allows it.
You've measured the wall. Twice. An apartment bathroom vanity doesn't forgive a piece that's too wide, too deep, or too short on storage. You've seen the floating designs that make a small room look bigger, and you already know a wall hung vanity for small bathroom layouts solves the floor-space problem. What you need now is the right size, the right storage, and a shortlist that won't waste your time. This guide walks you through choosing the best wall hung vanities for apartment bathrooms, then shows five options worth comparing.
Why Wall Hung Vanities Work Well in Apartment Bathrooms
Wall hung vanities suit apartments because they do more with less. As floating bathroom vanities, they free up visible floor space, which matters most in apartment bathroom vanities where every square metre counts. The result is a space saving bathroom vanity with no floor-mounted cabinet eating into a room that's already tight on space.
They Make Compact Bathrooms Feel More Open
Visible flooring under the cabinet breaks up the room. In every apartment fit-out we've seen, furniture with a narrow, raised profile leaves more floor visible, and that's the whole trick. This makes a small bathroom vanity or any compact bathroom vanity feel bigger without changing the room's actual size. A floating vanity for small bathroom layouts does this better than any floor-mounted alternative, as our Wall Hung Vanities Australia guide covers in more detail.
They Give You Storage Without Taking Up Floor Space
Drawers and shelves sit inside the cabinet, not in a separate freestanding unit. Check out wall hung vanities with drawers if bathroom vanity storage is your priority. In an apartment with no room for extra storage furniture, a compact vanity with drawers matters more than it does in a full-sized family bathroom.
They Make the Bathroom Easier to Clean
A wall mounted vanity keeps flooring accessible, which means a mop or vacuum reaches underneath easily. That's what makes a floating bathroom vanity an easy clean bathroom vanity: no gap behind cabinet legs collecting dust and hair.
What Size Wall Hung Vanity Is Best for an Apartment?
The best apartment vanity size for most apartment bathrooms is 600mm for a tight ensuite, 750mm if you want extra drawer space, or 900mm where the wall width allows it. For a small bathroom vanity size, 600mm is usually the safest starting point, and a compact wall hung vanity in that range still fits real storage. Beyond that starting point, the right size comes down to available wall width, your bathroom layout, how much storage you actually need, and clearance around the door, toilet and shower. Wall hung vanity sizes at Zure run from compact 600mm through to 900mm for apartment layouts.
600mm Wall Hung Vanities for Very Small Bathrooms
The 600mm Wall Hung Vanities range works best in compact apartments, small ensuites, and any bathroom where clearance around the door or shower is tight. A 600mm wall hung vanity, or 600mm bathroom vanity, is not a fallback size. It's a genuinely compact bathroom vanity built for tight layouts, and for many apartments, this small wall hung vanity is the size the room was designed for.
750mm Wall Hung Vanities for More Storage
The 750mm Wall Hung Vanities range sits in the middle. A 750mm wall hung vanity, or 750mm bathroom vanity, suits apartments with a little extra room. If you want extra drawer and countertop space without moving up to a full-size vanity, this compact vanity with storage is the size to compare against 600mm.
900mm Wall Hung Vanities for Larger Apartment Bathrooms
The 900mm Wall Hung Vanities range suits larger apartment bathrooms with more wall width to spare. A 900mm wall hung vanity, or 900mm bathroom vanity, is the right call when the household needs the countertop space. A floating vanity 900mm in size is worth the extra footprint if your household needs the countertop space, but it's not necessary in a smaller ensuite.
5 Best Wall Hung Vanities for Apartment Bathrooms
Each of these best wall hung vanities solves a different apartment problem, from tight clearance to maximum drawer storage. Here's our pick of the best vanity for apartment bathroom needs, drawn from Zure's own apartment wall hung vanity range within our floating bathroom vanity Australia catalogue, so you're comparing real, in-stock options rather than a marketing shortlist.
Best Overall Wall Hung Vanity for Apartments
As the best wall hung vanity for apartments on this list, the HAMPTON Mark II Wall Hung Vanity is an apartment bathroom vanity that balances a 600mm footprint with classic Hampton shaker styling and moisture-resistant plywood construction. Its Satin White finish and finger-pull handles make it a compact wall hung vanity that suits most apartment bathrooms without fighting the existing tiles or tapware. The tradeoff: it's only available at 600mm, so it's not the pick if you have the wall width for something larger.
Best Wall Hung Vanity for a Very Small Apartment Bathroom
The Riva BALI Wall Hung Vanity is a compact floating vanity and a small wall hung vanity at its smallest 600mm size, though the range runs all the way to 1500mm with single or double-basin options at 1200mm and 1500mm. In the 600mm size, its American Oak finish adds warmth, and two soft-close drawers, including a top drawer cut out for plumbing, make it the best vanity for small apartment bathroom spaces that still want some texture. The tradeoff: the timber finish shows dust and water marks more than a flat laminate, so it needs a quick wipe-down more often.
Best Wall Hung Vanity for Maximum Storage
The VARCELLI Tier Wall Hung Curve Vanity is a wall hung vanity with storage at its core: a wall hung vanity with drawers built entirely around a stacked, all-drawer layout, making it the pick for apartments that want maximum bathroom vanity storage. It runs from 750mm through to 1800mm, with soft-close Hettich runners and a drawer organiser included, useful if you need to fit towels and toiletries into one cabinet. The tradeoff: the all-drawer front reads busier than a single-door design, so it suits a plainer tile or wall finish better than a heavily patterned one.
Best Wall Hung Vanity for a Modern Apartment
The BALMORAL Mark II Wall Hung Vanity is a modern wall hung vanity with clean lines and a Matte White finish for a contemporary bathroom vanity look, and a genuinely modern apartment bathroom vanity choice overall. Moisture-resistant plywood and soft-close drawers back up the style, with a size run from 600mm to 1800mm. The tradeoff: matte finishes show water spots more readily than gloss, so it needs a wipe-down after use to stay looking sharp.
Best Premium Wall Hung Vanity for an Apartment Renovation
The Riva VIENNA Wall Hung Vanity is a premium wall hung vanity, running from 600mm through to 1500mm with single or double-basin options at 1200mm and 1500mm, that pairs a White Oak finish with a White Carrara stone top, for buyers investing more in the renovation. As an apartment renovation vanity, it's the luxury bathroom vanity to compare if you want a benchtop finish that reads as premium rather than standard laminate. The tradeoff: a stone top adds real weight, so it's worth confirming your wall framing can take it before you order, using the same timber-or-steel-stud check covered above.
What to Look for When Choosing an Apartment Bathroom Vanity
This apartment bathroom vanity buying guide covers the essentials before you order. Run through the wall hung vanity buying checklist below to work out how to choose a bathroom vanity for your apartment.
Measure the Available Space and Clearance
Before you order, measure bathroom vanity space properly, not just the width on the spec sheet. Bathroom vanity dimensions and vanity measurements should account for doors, shower screens, toilets, drawers opening, walking space, and the vanity clearance around the whole unit.
Prioritise Usable Storage
A compact bathroom needs real bathroom vanity storage, and a vanity with drawers usually beats open shelving for apartment use. Drawers and internal organisation matter more when compact bathroom storage is the only storage the room has.
Check the Wall and Plumbing Before Ordering
Wall hung vanity installation and wall hung vanity plumbing both need confirming before you buy. Confirm the wall is timber or steel stud, not just plasterboard, so it can support the bracket, and that your existing waste pipe centreline sits close to where the new vanity needs it under AS/NZS 3500 rough-in practice. If the centreline is out by more than roughly 100mm, expect a plumber to chase the wall to relocate it, which adds to the install cost. See wall hung vanity installation requirements for what to check first. These floating vanity installation requirements apply whether you're doing a full renovation or a straight swap. If you're in a strata building, check whether the work needs owners corporation approval, as NSW Fair Trading outlines for strata renovations.
Consider Moisture Resistance
Look for a moisture resistant bathroom vanity built from moisture-resistant plywood or MDF with a sealed finish. A genuinely waterproof wall hung vanity holds up better under everyday bathroom vanity materials scrutiny than a standard finish. Bathrooms are classed as wet areas under the National Construction Code, which sets waterproofing requirements for exactly this kind of everyday moisture exposure.
Which Wall Hung Vanity Style Works Best in an Apartment?
Wall hung vanity styles range from timber tones to crisp white. Whichever direction you take, floating vanity styles should match your existing bathroom vanity finishes, whether that's a classic look or a modern apartment bathroom vanity feel.
Timber Look Wall Hung Vanities
Timber Look Wall Hung Vanities add warmth and contrast against neutral apartment walls and tiles. A timber look wall hung vanity, whether an oak wall hung vanity or a woodgrain bathroom vanity finish, works well against neutral tones. Oak and walnut tones work well without overpowering a small room.
White Wall Hung Vanities
White Wall Hung Vanities suit apartments with light walls and tiles. A white wall hung vanity, or white floating vanity, works well where the goal is a simple, visually cohesive white bathroom vanity. It also makes the floating effect underneath the cabinet stand out more.
Should You Choose a Wall Hung Vanity With a Basin?
Choosing a wall hung vanity with basin included, such as a floating vanity with basin or vanity basin set, is the simpler purchase for a bathroom vanity and basin combo. Buying the basin separately gives more flexibility, but only if you check the vanity's top and your chosen basin are compatible before ordering.
How Much Should You Spend on an Apartment Wall Hung Vanity?
The sticker price only tells part of the story. Wall hung vanity price and wall hung vanity cost both come down to material, drawer hardware, finish and vanity top together. Set an apartment vanity budget that prioritises fit and function over choosing the cheapest or smallest option. If you're after a wall hung vanity under $900, several affordable wall hung vanity picks above, including the entry-level 600mm sizes, fall in that range. See Best Wall Hung Vanities Under $900 in Australia for the full list.

FAQs About Wall Hung Vanities for Apartments
These wall hung vanity FAQs cover the questions apartment bathroom vanity buyers ask most, from small bathroom vanity sizing to installing a floating bathroom vanity Australia-wide.
What is the best vanity size for a small apartment bathroom?
The best vanity size for small bathroom apartments depends on your actual available space and small apartment vanity size needs. 600mm and 750mm vanity options are usually the practical starting points for compact apartment layouts.
Do wall hung vanities make small bathrooms look bigger?
Do wall hung vanities make bathroom look bigger? In most apartment layouts, yes. A floating vanity small bathroom setup exposes floor space underneath the cabinet, which makes the room feel more open. That's one of the key bathroom vanity benefits, and it happens without changing the physical size of the bathroom.
Is a 600mm or 750mm vanity better for an apartment?
In this 600mm vs 750mm vanity comparison, base the decision on clearance first, then storage. Weighing a 600mm vanity against a 750mm vanity for your apartment bathroom vanity size, the extra drawer and countertop space is worth having if 750mm fits comfortably.
Can you install a wall hung vanity in an existing apartment bathroom?
Generally yes, and apartment vanity installation into an existing bathroom is common. Before you install wall hung vanity fixtures, check the wall structure and existing plumbing location. A wall hung vanity existing bathroom retrofit still needs building or strata approval confirmed first.
