The design is reminiscent of the Japandi design language with minimalistic aesthetics and décor elements.
The unit features a wide wooden floating storage unit with three spacious drawers in a handleless design. On either side of the floating storage unit, the black metal towel bars improve accessibility and functionality by ten folds.

4. Neo-Classical Vanity Unit
This vanity unit design is all about a palace-like décor while retaining modern functionality. Equipped with two spacious cabinets with shutters featuring the traditional raised panel shutters, generally found in traditional interior design. The entire cabinet resonates with an overall theme set in the bathroom, one of those is the gold accents sprinkled throughout the bathroom.
The shutter especially stands out because of the gold accent on the dark blue shutters, but the accents aren’t limited to just the handles. The faucets on the counter are also bestowed with the said gold accents on a beige marble countertop. The porcelain bowls are integrated into the counter itself, comparable to traditional design language. Complimenting the unit, two mirrors with brushed gold aluminium profiles are fixed to the wall along with wall scones.
5. Industrial Vanity Unit
Even though the vanity unit design leans heavily on its colour palette, it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to say – the design would not lose much of its aesthetic appeal with a different colour palette. Featuring a giant semi-oval mirror, the unit is in every way the star of the bathroom. Extravagant in the best way possible, the semi-oval mirror transforms into the counter as the other half of the oval.
The counter consists of a single large drawer that can be pulled out using the two handles, seemingly camouflaged with the engraved pattern on the wooden drawer. The counter also features a black marble countertop and a blacker wash bowl atop. Complimenting the counter, a metal towel rack is attached to the floor next to it, which makes accessing the towels much easier. Finally, illuminating the area, a beautiful and unique pendant light hangs from the ceiling, simultaneously enhancing the aesthetic.
