Drawers for under sunk basins

5 replies

lashingsofbingeinghere · 16/09/2012 16:29

Wondering if any clever peeps have found what I am currently looking for for my bathroom - under sink drawers with a piece cut out to accommodate the basin?Am doing up the family bathroom and have my heart set on twin basins sunk beneath a stone/marble counter top.

What I would like is drawers to fit under the basins, similar to those special drawers with a piece sort of cut out to fit underneath kitchen sinks.

have tried all sorts of bathroom sites plus places like ikea, Hafele, Roca and Duravit but no joy. I can find are all in one vanity units that come with sinks mounted above them, but nothing for under counter sinks/basins. The problem is the sizes - probably need a drawer width of about 550mm - all the kitchen ones start at 800mm.

Any ideas?

I have used regular drawers before and got a carpenter to adapt. They can remove the top drawers and replace the fronts with nothing behind them.

noddyholder - thanks, I had thought of that option too. I will talk to the builder and see what he can do.

you can see in better, if the whole front moves, even if it leaves you looking at the front of the sink.

It is an advantage to ask the plumber to run the waste pipes backwards towards the wall, rather than sideways where they will be in the way.

Lashings - I plan to do exactly the same. Have already bought my sinks! Haven't looked too closely but I thought the ikea Godmorgon (sp?) ones would work with this set up although maybe will need a bit of minor carpenter-adaptation??
