Bathroom Vanities designed, built and installed for Oakville — heritage detailing in the old town and whole-house packages on the lake. Our Toronto showroom is around forty minutes east.
An Ontario bathroom goes from a dry, heated winter to a humid summer, and a vanity that was built rigid will show it at the joints. Moisture-stable cores and a finish specified for a wet room handle the steam; detailing solid elements to move handles the season. In the older city housing there is the additional reality that the bathroom was added to a house that never planned for one, so the plumbing dictates the layout far more than the drawing does.
Lake-effect humidity through the shoulder seasons is worth accounting for in solid timber and in anything closed and unventilated.
Old Oakville has heritage properties with real constraints and real character. Interior cabinetry is generally unrestricted, but the detailing has to earn its place in a house with original trim and proportions worth keeping.
Lakeside houses in Morrison and Eastlake are large and often rebuilt rather than renovated, which means the cabinetry package covers the whole house rather than one room.
What follows applies to every bathroom vanitie we make, in Oakville and everywhere else.
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 Oakville, including Old Oakville, Morrison, Eastlake, Bronte and Glen Abbey. The housing here is heritage houses in the old town, large lakeside properties in Morrison and Eastlake, and established family housing inland, and the cabinetry is specified for it rather than to a national standard.
Our Toronto showroom is around forty minutes east. The showroom is at 2967 Dundas Street West. Come and see the materials in person, or send the drawings and we will price the job room by room.
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.
Book a free 30-minute consultation with a designer who works in Oakville every week. Send the drawings if you have them — we will itemise the cabinetry by room.
