5 Versatile Pieces for Every Bathroom Size

Here are five standout pieces from our everyday furniture collection that can transform your bathroom into a stylish sanctuary:

1. Compact Vanities for Small Spaces

Our wall-mounted vanities are perfect for smaller bathrooms or powder rooms. Their sleek design optimizes floor space while still offering storage for essentials. Our Elementi Verona wall vanity is a great example of a luxurious looking vanity for those on a budget. The Elementi Pettine/Telaio range can be paired with one of our elegant basins for a polished look.

2. Double Vanities for Shared Bathrooms

For larger spaces or shared bathrooms, our double vanities provide ample counter space and storage. These practical yet stylish solutions make busy mornings more efficient while adding a touch of sophistication. The Elementi Studio range is a great option for those seeking a double vanity option on a budget, adding a real touch of luxury to any bathroom, whilst adding the practicality that many growing families need.

3. Heated Towel Rails from Elementi Calora

A heated towel rail isn’t just a luxury—it’s an energy-efficient way to keep towels dry and warm year-round. Available in ladder or stackable single-bar designs, the Elementi Calora range fits seamlessly into any bathroom layout. A heated towel rail may feel like a simple piece of furniture, however, it can make a huge difference when it comes to the overall look and feel of a bathroom, especially with the range of finishes we have available on the Calora range.

4. Storage Cabinets for Decluttering

Keep your bathroom organised with versatile storage cabinets from our collection. These units are perfect for stowing away toiletries, towels, and cleaning supplies while maintaining a tidy appearance. Whether you’re looking for a tower cabinet which is perfect for small spaces, or something versatile like a mirror with storage, we’ve got you covered. Our Elementi Mirror Cabinet or Round Mirror Cabinet is perfect for bathrooms of any size and the Parisi Envy LED Mirror adds another layer of luxury to your bathroom design.

5. Tapware from Elementi Lente

Upgrade your sink or shower with the sleek designs of the Elementi Lente tapware range, which combines minimalist aesthetics with precision engineering. Available in a wide range of styles and finishes, from basin spouts to deck-mounted mixers, the Lente tapware range oozes luxury at a price point that means you can push your budget to other key areas of the bathroom like your shower or bath.

Styling Tips: Maximising Impact with Everyday Furniture

Even on a budget, small styling changes can make a big difference in transforming your bathroom into a luxurious retreat. Here are some tips to maximise the impact of your new Robertson furniture:

1. Choose Neutral Tones: Opt for white or neutral-coloured vanities and basins to create an airy, timeless look that makes small spaces feel larger.
2. Mix High-End with Affordable: Pair affordable furniture pieces with premium accents like designer tapware or statement mirrors to elevate the overall aesthetic.
3. Add Texture: Incorporate soft elements like plush towels, bath mats, or woven baskets to add warmth and contrast to sleek surfaces.
4. Use Lighting Strategically: Install layered lighting—such as overhead lights combined with wall sconces—to highlight key features like your vanity or mirror.

5. Accessorise Thoughtfully: Add greenery, candles, or decorative trays to bring personality and charm into your space without cluttering it.
