The Complete Guide to Nuie Mayford Bathroom Furniture

Nuie Mayford is the most comprehensive furniture range Nuie makes – a modular, mix-and-match system designed to furnish an entire bathroom, from the basin to the toilet to every last bit of storage. Rather than a handful of set pieces, Mayford gives you a genuine choice of vanity units, a choice of basin shapes, dedicated compact and corner solutions, three styles of WC unit and a full family of fitted storage modules, all sharing the same durable Gloss White finish so everything lines up into one seamless, fitted look.

This guide walks you through the whole Mayford range: the vanity units and basin shapes, the clever small-space options, the WC units, the modular storage system and how the depths work – plus how to put it all together for your bathroom. Browse the whole range in the Nuie Mayford collection, and read on to plan your fitted bathroom with confidence. If you would prefer a different look or more finishes, our Nuie Lunar, Nuie Parade, Nuie Eden, Nuie Core and Nuie Vault guides cover the other ranges.

What's in the Nuie Mayford range?

Mayford is organised into four families of unit that combine to furnish a whole bathroom:

• Vanity units – the widest choice in the Nuie line-up, with a pick of basin shapes and sizes plus dedicated compact, cloakroom and corner designs.
• WC units – three options that conceal the cistern and pipework for a clean, fitted toilet area, including one with the concealed cistern already included.
• Modular storage – fitted drawer units, cupboard units and full-height tall cabinets that slot in alongside the vanity and WC units.
• Mirror storage – a space-smart corner mirror cabinet to finish the scheme above the basin.

Because every piece shares the same Gloss White finish and coordinated design, you can mix and match exactly the modules your bathroom needs and know the whole run will match.

Vanity units: a shape and size for every space

The heart of the range is its vanity units, and Mayford gives you more ways to configure a basin-and-storage unit than any other Nuie range:

• Vanity with U-shaped basin – the flagship, available in the widest span of sizes from 450mm right up to 850mm, so it suits everything from an en-suite to a large main bathroom. See the Mayford Floor Standing Vanity Unit with U-Shaped Basin.
• Vanity with square basin – a crisper, more angular basin in 450mm, 550mm and 650mm widths. See the Mayford Floor Standing Vanity Unit with Square Basin.
• 450mm 2-door vanity – the flexible one, offered as either wall-hung or floor-standing, ideal for smaller bathrooms and en-suites.
• 485mm compact vanity – a shallow-depth compact vanity that projects less into the room, perfect where floor space is tight.
• 400mm cloakroom vanity – a slimline 1-door cloakroom vanity for downstairs loos and the tightest spaces.
• Corner vanity – a clever floor-standing corner vanity unit in one-door or two-door versions that turns a wasted corner into a working basin and storage.

Basin shapes: U-shaped or square

Mayford's two main vanities let you set the tone of the room through the basin shape. The U-shaped basin has a softer, gently rounded bowl for a more relaxed, understated look, and it comes in the broadest range of sizes. The square basin brings sharper, more contemporary lines for a crisp, modern finish. Both are quality ceramic and both are supplied with the unit, so you can choose purely on the style you prefer and the sizes you need.

Clever solutions for small and awkward spaces

Where Mayford really stands out is in the tricky spaces other ranges ignore. The 400mm cloakroom vanity and 485mm shallow-depth compact vanity are made for downstairs loos and small bathrooms, while the corner vanity and the matching wall-hung corner mirror cabinet make productive use of an otherwise dead corner. If you are working with an awkward layout, Mayford almost certainly has a unit to fit it.

WC units: a clean, fitted toilet area

A WC unit boxes in the cistern and pipework behind a matching furniture panel, so the toilet sits flush and tidy against the run. Mayford offers three:

• 500mm WC unit with concealed cistern – unusually, this WC unit comes with the concealed cistern already included, so there is nothing extra to buy to get up and running.
• Slimline 300mm-deep WC unit – a shallow-depth WC unit in 500mm and 600mm widths, ideal where you want to keep projection to a minimum.
• Standard 330mm-deep WC unit – the standard-depth WC unit, also in 500mm and 600mm widths, to line up with standard-depth Mayford units.

The slimline and standard units are designed to conceal a cistern – our complete guide to Nuie concealed cisterns covers the cistern and flush-plate options that pair with them.

Modular storage: build your own fitted run

This is what makes Mayford a true fitted-furniture system. Alongside the vanity and WC units, a family of storage modules lets you extend the run to exactly the storage you need:

• Fitted drawer unit – a modular drawer module in a choice of widths and depths, for easy-reach everyday storage.
• Fitted cupboard units – modular cupboards in 300mm and 350mm widths, offered in 300mm-deep and 330mm-deep versions to match the rest of your run.
• Tall storage cabinets – full-height 350mm cabinets for towels and supplies, again in 300mm-deep and 330mm-deep versions.

Line these up beside a vanity and WC unit and you get a continuous, built-in wall of storage – all in matching Gloss White. You will find them alongside other options in the Cabinets & Storage collection.

Choosing your depth: 300mm or 330mm

Because Mayford is modular, the storage and WC units come in two depths – 300mm and 330mm – so you can keep the fronts of your units flush along a run. The rule is simple: pick one depth and stick to it across the pieces that sit side by side, so everything lines up cleanly. The slimline 300mm-deep WC unit and 300mm-deep storage go together, and the standard 330mm-deep units line up with each other. Measure your space and decide whether the shallower 300mm profile or the roomier 330mm profile suits your bathroom before you build your run.

Finish: durable Gloss White

The whole Mayford range is finished in a bright, hard-wearing Gloss White – a clean, timeless choice that keeps a busy family bathroom feeling light and works with any tile, wall colour or brassware finish. Because every unit shares the same finish, you can combine any mix of modules and know the run will match perfectly.

How to build your Nuie Mayford bathroom

Pulling it all together, here is a simple way to plan your scheme:

• Start with the basin. Choose your vanity – U-shaped or square basin for a main bathroom, or a compact, cloakroom or corner unit for a tighter space – and the size that fits your wall.
• Add the WC unit. Pick the 500mm unit with its cistern included, or a slimline or standard WC unit to match your depth.
• Choose your depth. Decide on 300mm or 330mm and keep it consistent across the run.
• Build out the storage. Add drawer units, cupboard units and a tall cabinet to create as much fitted storage as you need, then finish with the corner mirror cabinet.
