Practical and stylish, vanity units are the perfect addition to any bathroom. Available in a range of styles, they create a beautiful design feature and provide valuable storage.
When it comes to color, blue is timeless and elegant, making it a fantastic choice for your vanity. Cool and calming in shades from powder blue to rich navy, it can totally transform your bathroom.
Whether your space is small or sprawling, there are lots of ways to make a bathroom vanity work for you. We’ve compiled some of the best blue vanity ideas to help you plan your bathroom makeover.
1. Complement Blue With Pink Walls
Complement a navy-blue vanity unit with pale pink walls for a stylish and serene space. This navy vanity stands out against white herringbone wall tiles, but it doesn’t feel at all clinical thanks to the warming paint choice.
Plaster-pink on the upper walls makes for a soothing and inviting bathroom, while gold brassware helps bring the whole scheme together.
2. Free Up Your Floor
Make the most of a compact space by choosing a wall-hung vanity unit for your bathroom. This inky blue vanity is simple but makes for a beautiful feature, contrasting against the cream tiles and white sanitaryware.
Hanging the vanity from the wall gives the illusion of greater floor space and makes the room feel larger than it is. Plus, it’s easy to clean underneath – and I’m all for anything that means less time cleaning bathrooms.
3. Hang a Large Mirror
Lighting is so important when planning your perfect bathroom. This light-filled bathroom boasts a beautiful sky-blue vanity unit, marble tops, and a large mirror, creating a calm and fresh space.
Make the most of the natural light in your bathroom by hanging one large mirror above a pale blue vanity unit. Choose a simple, wall-to-wall mirror to enhance your space and reflect the maximum amount of light.
4. Create a Seamless Scheme
Create a seamless scheme by blurring the lines between your vanity unit and the walls.
This traditional design makes the most of the available space by using the same shade of blue across the vanity and the lower half of the walls, making the room appear larger.
Get the look by installing a half-wall of panelling around your vanity unit and painting it to match. Paint the upper half of your walls white to reflect light and further enhance the feeling of space.
5. Make Room for Open Shelves
Include some open shelves in your bathroom vanity for stylish and versatile storage options. This gorgeous bright blue vanity includes both drawers and open shelving, making the most of the available space.
It’s ideal for providing easy access to everyday items, such as clean towels and toilet rolls.
6. Add a Pop of Blue to a White Bathroom
A vanity unit is a brilliant opportunity to add a welcome pop of color to a white bathroom. This tall, elegant vanity packs a punch next to white walls, doors, and bathtub. In a rich blue hue, the cabinets create a striking focal point in the room.
Keep your bathroom decor simple to ensure your vanity is the centrepiece and add a selection of houseplants to prevent it from looking clinical.
7. Complement Blue Tiles With Wood
If your bathroom already has blue tiles or paint, consider complementing it with a wooden vanity unit. This mid-brown wood cabinet contrasts against pale blue metro tiles, bringing warmth to the space.
Enhance your bathroom’s appeal by adding more natural materials through woven baskets and planters to create a relaxed feel.

You can also decorate it with candles, glassware, and houseplants.
