Bathroom vanities, basins and cabinets Bathroom vanities, basins and cabinets Bathroom vanities, basins and cabinets come in so many shapes, sizes, materials and colours that there will be one of the shelve that should suit your bathroom design. One thing is sure, you don't have to depend on a small medicine cabinet to store your bathroom needs.  Modern bathroom vanities are designed with the basin as a combo unit.
