The Complete Guide to Nuie Vault Bathroom Furniture

Nuie Vault is the range to reach for when space is tight. It is a compact, cloakroom-friendly furniture solution built around a single, space-smart 400mm vanity unit that comes complete with a ceramic basin – so even the smallest room can have proper fitted storage and a tidy, finished look. With a choice of wall-hung or floor-standing designs and a surprisingly wide palette of six finishes, Vault makes it easy to add real style to a cloakroom, en-suite or small bathroom without eating into the floor.

This guide covers everything in the Nuie Vault range: the two mounting styles, the compact 400mm size, the door storage, the included basin and the six finishes – plus how to choose the right unit for your space. Browse the range in the Nuie Vault collection, and read on to plan with confidence. Need something larger, or a fuller furniture wardrobe with drawers and tall storage? Our Nuie Core, Nuie Lunar and Nuie Parade guides cover the wider ranges.

What's in the Nuie Vault range?

Vault keeps things beautifully simple. The range is built around one versatile unit, offered in two mounting styles:

• 400mm wall-hung vanity unit – a single-door compact vanity that fixes to the wall and comes complete with a ceramic basin.
• 400mm floor-standing vanity unit – the same compact, single-door design in a floor-standing format, again supplied with its ceramic basin.

Both share the same clean lines, the same six finishes and the same included basin, so the only real decisions are how you want it mounted and which colour suits your scheme.

Wall-hung vs floor-standing: which should you choose?

The Vault vanity comes in two mounting styles, and the right one depends on your room and the look you are after.

Wall-hung fixes to the wall and leaves the floor visible underneath. That floating design makes a small room feel more open and airy, keeps sightlines clean, and makes cleaning underneath far easier – which is why it is such a popular choice in compact cloakrooms and en-suites. Explore the options in the Wall Mounted Vanity Units collection.

Floor-standing sits directly on the floor, giving a solid, grounded look and hiding the plumbing behind the cabinet without needing a strong wall fixing. It is the easy, practical pick where the wall construction makes heavy wall-hanging awkward. See the range in the Floor Mounted Vanity Units collection.

Compact by design

At just 400mm wide, Vault is one of the most compact vanity units you can buy – and that is exactly the point. It is designed to slot into the spaces other furniture cannot reach: a downstairs cloakroom, a tight en-suite, or the corner of a small bathroom where you still want a basin with storage beneath it rather than a bare pedestal.

Despite the small footprint, the single door opens to a genuinely useful cupboard that hides the trap and pipework and gives you somewhere to tuck away the everyday essentials. The Nuie Vault 400mm Wall Hung Vanity Unit is the space-saving hero here, with the floor-standing version offering the same compact footprint in a grounded design.

A ceramic basin included as standard

Like the best compact furniture, Vault takes the guesswork out of specifying. Every unit is supplied complete with a quality ceramic basin – there is no separate basin to choose or buy – and arrives fully assembled rather than flat-packed, so it is ready to mount or stand, connect and use. Ceramic gives you the classic, glossy glazed finish most people expect from a bathroom basin, with excellent scratch and stain resistance and an easy-clean surface, and because the basin is matched to the unit, everything lines up perfectly.

Finishes: six colours to suit any scheme

For such a compact unit, Vault offers an impressively broad choice of finishes, so it is easy to match to any room:

• Gloss White – bright, timeless and endlessly easy to work with.
• Gloss Grey – a soft, contemporary neutral with a subtle sheen.
• Soft Black – an understated dark tone that anchors a modern scheme.
• Charcoal Black – a deeper, dramatic near-black for a bold statement.
• Anthracite – a rich, dark grey that sits neatly between grey and black.
• Bleached Oak – a warm, pale wood-effect finish that adds natural texture and a lovely contrast to white sanitaryware.

From bright white through warm wood to moody darks, there is a Vault finish for cloakrooms that want to blend in and en-suites that want to stand out.

How to choose your Nuie Vault unit

With a focused range, choosing is refreshingly quick:

• Check the space. Vault's 400mm width is made for compact rooms – measure your wall and the door swing in front of the unit to be sure it fits.
• Pick your mounting. Wall-hung for a lighter, more open look and easy floor cleaning; floor-standing for a solid, grounded feel and simpler fixing.
• Choose your finish. Six colours, from bright white through warm Bleached Oak to deep Charcoal Black – pick the one that matches your scheme.
