Kartell K-VIT Moon Bathroom Furniture: The Complete Guide

Some bathroom furniture ranges compete on price. The Kartell K-VIT Moon range competes on engineering — and it shows the moment you open a drawer. Made in the EU, fitted with genuine Blum soft-close runners and metal drawer boxes, and finished in three sophisticated matt colours including the standout Cocoa, Moon is the most premium furniture collection in the Kartell K-VIT line-up. This guide walks through every unit, every colour and how Moon compares to the rest of the family — all backed by Kartell's 5 year guarantee and at 45% off RRP at Essential Bathrooms.

What Makes Moon Different?

Three things set Moon apart from a typical British vanity range. First, the one-piece deep ceramic basins — these aren't thin resin tops but substantial, sculptural ceramic washbasins that sit proud of the unit like a piece of designer sanitaryware. Second, the hardware: every drawer runs on genuine Blum soft-close runners with full metal drawer boxes, the same German-engineered fittings you'd find in a premium kitchen, rated for decades of daily use. Third, the handleless design — clean matt fronts with recessed pulls, made in the European Union to a noticeably higher cabinet standard.

The Colours: Cocoa, Matt Grey and Matt White

Cocoa is the colour you won't find anywhere else on the high street — a warm, sophisticated taupe that brings genuine designer-hotel energy to a bathroom. It's extraordinary with white ceramic, brushed brass brassware and natural textures like oak and rattan, and it photographs beautifully. If you want a bathroom that doesn't look like everyone else's, start here.

Matt Grey is the calm, architectural neutral — it pairs with chrome or matt black fittings and suits every tile scheme from marble to terrazzo. Matt White is the bright, timeless choice: crisp, glare-free and endlessly versatile. All three share the same hardwearing matt finish that hides fingerprints and water spots far better than gloss.

The Wall Mounted Vanity Units: 500mm, 600mm and 800mm

The heart of the range is the wall mounted 2 drawer vanity, available in three widths. The 500mm unit (H560 x W510 x D395mm) is the compact option with a slimmer 395mm depth, perfect for en-suites — see it in Cocoa, Matt Grey and Matt White at £529.10 (RRP £962).

The 600mm unit (H560 x W610 x D460mm) is the bestseller sweet spot, with a full-depth basin and generous drawers — available in Cocoa, Matt Grey and Matt White at £538.45 (RRP £979).

The 800mm unit (H560 x W810 x D460mm) is the statement piece, with a sweeping 810mm basin and two full-width drawers for master bathrooms — in Cocoa, Matt Grey and Matt White at £579.15 (RRP £1,053).

The Floor Standing Option

Prefer furniture that stands on its own feet? The 600mm 2 Drawer Floor Standing Unit (H900 x W610 x D460mm) delivers the same basin, drawers and Blum hardware in a format that needs no wall fixing — ideal for stud walls or where pipework rules out hanging furniture. Choose Cocoa, Matt Grey or Matt White at £538.45 (RRP £979).

The WC Unit: Hide the Cistern, Keep the Style

The Moon WC Unit (H830 x W492 x D250mm) conceals your cistern and pipework behind handleless matt panelling, in a slim 250mm depth that suits even tight cloakrooms. On every listing you can choose the unit alone at £164.45 (RRP £299) or add the Kartell concealed cistern with a chrome, matt black or brushed brass push button straight from the dropdown. Available in Cocoa, Matt Grey and Matt White.

The Tall Unit: Storage That Earns Its Wall Space

The Wall Mounted Tall Unit (H1600 x W362 x D355mm) gives you 1.6 metres of full-height storage in a footprint barely a third of a metre wide — towels, toiletries and cleaning kit all disappear behind one handleless soft-close door. In Cocoa, Matt Grey and Matt White at £400.95 (RRP £729).

Moon vs Dove vs Urban vs Sanctuary: Which Kartell Range Is Right for You?

Moon sits at the premium end of the Kartell K-VIT furniture family. Choose Moon if engineering and a designer look matter most — the Blum metal drawer boxes, one-piece ceramic basins, EU build and the unique Cocoa finish justify the step up. Choose Dove for curved, handleless softness and the widest colour palette. Choose Urban for industrial wood-effect textures and open shelving. Choose Sanctuary for shaker-style framed doors and heritage colours like Corymbia Green. All four carry Kartell's 5 year guarantee — it's purely a question of the look and feel you're after.

Styling the Cocoa Finish

If you're going for Cocoa, lean into warmth: brushed brass taps and wastes, large-format warm stone or travertine-look tiles, fluted glass, and plenty of texture in towels and accessories. For contrast, matt black brassware against Cocoa creates a moodier, boutique-hotel look. Both directions work because the taupe base sits comfortably between grey and brown — it flatters almost everything.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the basins included with Moon vanity units?

Yes — every Moon vanity unit price at Essential Bathrooms includes the matching one-piece deep ceramic basin (MOON500BAS, MOON600BAS or MOON800BAS depending on width).

What is special about the Blum drawer system?

Blum is the Austrian hardware brand used in premium kitchens worldwide. Moon drawers use genuine Blum soft-close runners with full metal drawer boxes, giving smooth, silent closing and far greater long-term durability than standard wooden drawer boxes.

Where is Moon furniture made?

The Moon range is manufactured in the European Union to a noticeably high cabinet standard, and every unit carries Kartell's 5 year guarantee.

Does the Moon WC unit come with a cistern?

You choose — every Moon WC unit listing offers the unit on its own or complete with the Kartell concealed cistern (ACC001N) and a chrome, matt black or brushed brass push button. The back-to-wall pan is sold separately.

Is the Cocoa colour the same as beige or taupe?

Cocoa is a warm taupe with a hint of mink-brown — deeper and more sophisticated than beige. It pairs beautifully with white ceramic, brushed brass and natural materials.

Can I mix wall mounted and floor standing Moon units?

Absolutely — all Moon units share the same finishes and handleless design language, so a floor standing vanity with a wall mounted tall unit and WC unit looks completely cohesive.
