Bathroom vanity planning: the measurements that matter

Start with the wall, not the vanity catalog

Measure the full wall and then the usable section between door casings, showers, toilets, radiators, or other fixed elements. Record baseboards and wall conditions that affect exposed panels and fillers.

A bathroom plan should also show windows, outlets, switches, pipes, and the direction doors open. IKEA’s room-planning guidance uses the same height, width, depth, and obstacle information.

Locate the plumbing before choosing drawers

The drain, water supplies, basin, and trap occupy cabinet space. A double basin needs a different internal and front layout from a single basin, even when the overall vanity width is similar.

If plumbing will move, say so in the brief. Velora can develop the visible design, but licensed plumbing decisions and rough-in work remain with the appropriate contractor.

• Centerline and height of the drain
• Hot and cold water positions
• Single or double basin
• Existing plumbing stays, moves, or is new
• Clearances for drawers, doors, and cleaning

Confirm the modular foundation during review

Bathroom cabinet systems vary. Share the exact product list or planner output rather than assuming every front fits every system.

Velora reviews compatibility, wet-room suitability, project scope, and studio capacity before approval. The questionnaire itself does not charge the customer.
