What are the benefits of a wall-hung vanity versus a freestanding unit in a small bathroom, and which should you choose?

Wall-hung units (available in common widths like 400mm and 500mm) free up visible floor space so the room feels larger and make floor cleaning easier, while freestanding vanities (also offered in 400–620mm widths) give you built-in storage and a more traditional look. If your soil pipe and plumbing can be hidden in the wall, a 500mm wall-hung like the Regis Forma or Artis wall-hung range will maximise space. If you need plumbing to remain exposed or want extra cupboard depth, a freestanding 500–600mm unit such as the Regis Forma freestanding or Artis freestanding will give more internal storage. For a narrow cloakroom under 1 m wide, a 400–500mm wall-hung is usually the best way to preserve circulation.

How do toilets with sinks on top work and are they practical for a cloakroom?

Many 2‑in‑1 units combine a basin directly above the cistern in a compact 500mm width, such as the Affine Tivoli and Artis back‑to‑wall models, so you get handwashing without a separate basin. The basin water is commonly routed into the cistern for flushing, which saves space and reduces water use compared with installing two separate fittings. They work especially well in very small cloakrooms or ensuites where you want a tidy footprint and quick handwash access. Note you still get normal toilet comfort because these are full toilets with soft‑close seats on some models.

I'm short on floor area, should I choose a small straight bath, an L‑shaped shower bath, or a corner bath?

A straight small bath (1700 x 700mm) is the most space‑efficient if you need a regular bath and a narrow run of floor. If you want a shower over the bath, consider a shower bath or an L‑shaped shower bath (examples shown at 1700 x 850mm or 1700 x 850mm with screen) to give a deeper showering area at one end. A corner bath such as the Affine Montpellier 1510 x 905mm uses corner space to give a larger bathing area while freeing wall length for a vanity or towel rail. For a really compact ensuite, a corner bath or a shower bath with an included shower screen (bundles like the Ceramica 1700 x 700mm with screen) can deliver the best mix of bathing and showering without crowding the room.

What vanity width and basin type should I buy for a small cloakroom or ensuite?

In very small cloakrooms, work with 400–500mm widths; there are many 400mm and 500mm options such as Artis 400mm fluted units and Regis 500mm units. You can opt for an integrated basin (common in freestanding and cloakroom vanity units) to save depth, or a countertop basin on a 500–600mm unit if you prefer a design statement like the Regis countertop with Roubaix basin. For an ensuite where you want more storage, choose 560–600mm freestanding units which offer deeper drawers and compartments while still fitting most narrow rooms. A practical example: a 500mm wall‑hung unit with an integrated basin keeps the toilet and door swing unobstructed in a tight cloakroom.

Which finishes work best in small bathrooms to maximise the feeling of space and durability?

White gloss finishes reflect light and open up a small space, which is why many 400–600mm vanities come in white gloss; pair one with a Roubaix white basin for a bright, cohesive look. Wood and fluted wood finishes add warmth and texture without reducing perceived space, the Artis fluted wood units with brass or black handles give character while keeping a compact footprint. Dark finishes such as anthracite or black make a strong statement but can show water marks more readily, so they suit you if you want drama and are happy with a little extra wipe‑down.
