A custom bathroom vanity is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to a Singapore bathroom. It determines how much storage you have, how clean the bathroom looks, and how comfortable the space is to use every day. At More Than Wood (MTW), we design and build custom bathroom vanities for HDB flats, condominiums, and landed homes across Singapore, using moisture-resistant materials and quality hardware at direct contractor pricing.
Types of Bathroom Vanities We Build

Wall-Mounted Floating Vanities
Floating vanities are mounted to the wall with no legs touching the floor. This gives the bathroom a more open, modern appearance and makes cleaning the floor significantly easier. We build floating vanities in a range of sizes to suit Singapore bathroom dimensions and can customise the height to the homeowner’s preference.
Freestanding Vanities
Freestanding vanities sit on legs or a solid base. They provide a traditional or furniture-like aesthetic that suits bathroom designs with a warmer, less clinical feel. We build freestanding vanities with drawers, doors, and shelf configurations to suit your storage needs.

Under-Counter Vanity Cabinets
Under-counter vanity cabinets maximise storage in bathrooms where space is limited. They are built to wrap around the basin column or to sit below a counter-top basin, providing closed storage for toiletries, cleaning products, and towels while maintaining a clean worktop surface.
Double Vanity Counters
For master bathrooms with two sinks, we build double vanity counters that accommodate both basins with shared or individual storage below. A double vanity from MTW is designed as one continuous piece rather than two separate units placed side by side.
Materials for Bathroom Carpentry

Marine Plywood
Bathrooms are high-humidity environments, and the wrong materials will warp or delaminate within a few years. For bathroom vanity carcasses, we use marine plywood where maximum moisture resistance is required. Marine plywood uses waterproof adhesives and is manufactured to resist delamination in wet conditions, making it significantly more durable than standard construction plywood.
Moisture-Resistant Laminate Finishes
We select moisture-resistant laminates for all bathroom vanity surfaces. These laminate finishes are designed to resist warping, swelling, and surface degradation in humid bathroom environments. They are available in a wide range of colours and textures including matte, gloss, woodgrain, and stone effect.
Hardware
We fit bathroom vanities with Blum and Hafele soft-close hinges and drawer runners. In bathroom environments, we specify hardware with appropriate corrosion resistance ratings so that the mechanisms remain smooth even with regular moisture exposure.

-
- Single or double basin configurations

Bathroom Vanity for HDB and Condo
HDB bathrooms are typically compact spaces with fixed plumbing positions. We design vanities that work with your existing plumbing layout and make the most of the space without requiring expensive replumbing. For condo master bathrooms and landed home bathrooms, we design larger, more luxurious vanity configurations where space allows.

FAQ
| How much does a custom bathroom vanity cost in Singapore? | A custom bathroom vanity in Singapore typically ranges from $1,200 to $5,000 and above depending on size, material, basin configuration, and whether a mirror cabinet is included. Contact MTW for a quote based on your bathroom dimensions. |
| What type of plywood should be used for bathroom cabinets? | For bathroom environments, we recommend marine plywood for vanity carcasses. Marine plywood uses waterproof adhesives and resists delamination in humid conditions. Standard plywood will absorb moisture over time and begin to swell or warp, particularly in HDB bathrooms with limited ventilation. |
| Can you build a vanity around an existing basin and plumbing? | Yes. We design bathroom vanities to work with your existing plumbing layout wherever possible. We take measurements around the basin column and waste pipe positions during the site visit and design the cabinet to accommodate them cleanly. |
| How long does it take to install a custom bathroom vanity? | Lead time from order confirmation to installation is typically 3 to 4 weeks. Installation of a bathroom vanity is usually completed within a day, depending on the complexity of the build. |
| Can a mirror cabinet be added above the vanity? | Yes. We can build a mirror cabinet above the vanity as part of the same project. Mirror cabinets add concealed storage for toiletries and personal care items while providing a practical mirror at the correct height for the vanity user. |
| Do you build bathroom vanities for HDB flats? | Yes. We build custom vanities for all HDB flat bathroom types, including master bathrooms and common bathrooms. We are familiar with the compact dimensions of HDB bathrooms and design to maximise storage and functionality within the available space. |
