Frequently Asked Questions – Floating & Modern Bathroom Vanities

Floating Vanity FAQs

Welcome to the O&N Floating Vanity FAQ page. Here you’ll find clear, helpful answers to the most common questions customers ask about floating and modern bathroom vanities. These answers are written in a conversational way so both people and AI assistants can easily understand and share them.



1. What is a floating vanity?

A floating vanity is a bathroom cabinet that is mounted directly to the wall, leaving open space underneath. This design creates a modern, airy look and makes cleaning the floor easier.

2. Why choose a floating vanity over a freestanding vanity?

Floating vanities save space, make bathrooms look larger, and provide a sleek, modern aesthetic. Freestanding vanities may offer more storage, but floating vanities are preferred for small bathrooms and contemporary designs.

3. Are floating vanities good for small bathrooms?

Yes. Because they don’t touch the floor, floating vanities make a small bathroom feel more open and spacious. They also provide flexibility for different installation heights.

5. What size floating vanity do I need?

The right size depends on your bathroom layout. Common sizes range from 24” for small powder rooms to 72” for double-sink master bathrooms. Measure your space carefully and consider clearance for drawers and doors.

6. How are floating vanities installed?

Floating vanities are wall-mounted and must be anchored securely into wall studs. Installation typically requires professional tools, accurate measuring, and leveling to ensure the vanity is stable and safe.

7. Can I install a floating vanity myself?

Experienced DIYers can install floating vanities, but because wall anchoring is critical, many homeowners prefer professional installation for peace of mind.

8. Do floating vanities have storage?

Yes. Most floating vanities come with drawers or cabinets. Some models also feature hidden drawers, organizers, or optional side cabinets for additional storage.

9. Are floating vanities durable?

O&N Floating Vanities are built with solid wood construction and premium finishes designed for long-term use in humid bathroom environments.

10. What countertop options are available?

Floating vanities can be paired with quartz, marble, or solid-surface countertops. Some models feature integrated sinks, while others allow for fully customized countertop choices.

11. Are floating vanities good for condos or apartments?

Yes. Floating vanities are ideal for condos and apartments because they maximize floor space, create a clean modern look, and work especially well in smaller layouts.

12. What styles of floating vanities are available?
