Streamlined Style

There are many reasons to choose a wall-mount modern vanity. Functionally, it's a great solution for access to heating and cooling vents in the floor. Visually, it creates the look of a bigger bathroom because you can see more floor space. Aesthetically, the streamlined style is perfectly suited for a modern bathroom design thanks to its minimalist look.

Frameless Feature

Go minimal with frameless doors and drawers for a clean look in a small modern bathroom. Choose hardware that's equally minimal to keep the focus on the vanity and away from the handles. These pulls make drawers easy to open but do not add clutter to the appearance.
