Bathroom Vanities designed, built and installed for Newport Beach — tiny harbour lots with nowhere to stage and salt air on every elevation. Our Los Angeles showroom serves Orange County; Newport projects are scheduled as full-day site visits.
California bathrooms are frequently open to the bedroom or to a private garden, so the vanity is read as part of a larger room rather than as a fixture in a wet one. That pushes the detailing toward furniture — visible ends, a considered underside on a wall-hung unit, integrated lighting — while the construction still has to be specified for steam. Near the coast, hardware is chosen for marine air even in an interior room.
Coastal building rules apply near the water, and anything affecting an exterior should have its approvals confirmed before it is fabricated.
Balboa and Lido lots are famously small, with houses built to the line and streets barely wide enough for a delivery truck. Cabinetry is sized to be walked in, and installs are sequenced tightly because there is nowhere to stage material.
This is a boating and waterfront market, so salt exposure is constant and outdoor living is used year round. Aluminium rather than stainless is the right answer for exterior cabinetry here.
The specification below is the same whether the job is in Newport Beach or anywhere else we work — it is how we build, not what we build for the market.
A vanity is the piece of cabinetry that takes the most abuse in a house — standing water, steam, heat from styling tools and daily opening — in the smallest space. It has to be built for that and still look like furniture, which is a materials decision as much as a design one.
Floating the vanity keeps the floor continuous and makes a small bathroom read larger, and it puts the plumbing where it can be reached.
Drawers are notched around the trap so the space under the basin is usable rather than nominally there.
Moisture-stable cores, sealed edges and a finish specified for steam rather than for a dry room.

We work throughout Newport Beach, including Balboa Island, Corona del Mar, Newport Coast, Lido Isle and Harbor Island. The housing here is harbour-front houses on small island lots, larger estates in Newport Coast, and a dense stock of 1970s and 1980s homes being rebuilt, and the cabinetry is specified for it rather than to a national standard.
Our Los Angeles showroom serves Orange County; Newport projects are scheduled as full-day site visits. The showroom is at 506 S Spring St. Bring the plans, or send them over and we will itemise the cabinetry by room before you visit.
Every project is photographed room by room with the materials and the detailing listed, so you can see how a job like this is actually put together before you commit to one.

You can also search every finish we specify and every appliance we design around.
One shop draws, finishes and installs all of it, which is why the closet matches the kitchen and there is one number to call when something needs adjusting.
