7. Dual Vanity with Central Built-in Laundry Base
Introduction
In larger master bathrooms, symmetry brings balance and order. Placing a built-in washing machine between two separate wash stations creates a functional, well-proportioned layout.
What This Idea Means
A symmetrical arrangement featuring two separate vessel or under-mount sinks positioned at either end of an extended counter, with the laundry appliance housed discreetly in the central base cabinet.
How to Make It
- Design a continuous 2.4 to 3-meter vanity counter across your main plumbing wall.
- Allocate the central 70 cm base cabinet for the washing machine, with identical sink and drawer units mirrored on both sides.
- Cover the central cabinet with a false drawer front or a matching cabinet door to maintain an uninterrupted row of cabinetry.
- Run a single continuous slab of engineered quartz across the entire vanity span.
Tips and Variations
- Tip: Use heavy-duty European concealed hinges with a 170-degree opening angle so the cabinet doors swing completely clear of the washing machine door.
- Variation: Replace the central door with a contrasting slatted timber panel to break up the color block of a wide vanity.
