4. Custom Ledge Floating Vanity
If you are looking to create a high-end, custom look, extending a floating vanity as a continuous ledge across the entire length of the wall is the ultimate design hack. This “long” configuration creates a visual illusion of a wider room, as the continuous horizontal line draws the eye from one side of the bathroom to the other. By spanning the full width, you also gain significantly more counter surface for your daily essentials, making the bathroom feel less like a tiny stall and more like a high-end, bespoke boutique washroom.
How to Make
Construct a custom vanity top using a moisture-resistant material such as quartz, solid surface, or sealed concrete. Span this piece from wall to wall, using heavy-duty steel brackets or wall cleats every 16 inches. Under-mount the sink basin to the ledge to keep the surface perfectly flush and sleek. To ensure the space doesn’t feel too long or clinical, install a large, full-width mirror above the ledge, which will bounce light back into the room and reinforce the wide, open feeling you’ve created with the extended vanity top.
Things Needed
- Custom-cut quartz or solid surface slab
