Hampton Vanities

Which Hampton Shaker Vanity Series Suits Your Bathroom?

A Hampton shaker vanity series is mostly a choice of storage layout and base. Fremantle and Hamilton are wall hung and open on drawers, Chester and Miami mix doors with centre drawers, and Harrington and Harold stand on the floor. The table compares the series in this collection, using the 1200mm single bowl models where layouts change by size.

A Hampton vanity in this collection is sold under one of these series names, so the series is the quickest way to narrow the grid. You can compare the same Fremantle layout in one size on the Fremantle 1200mm single bowl vanity listing.

Drawers or Doors in a Hampton Shaker Vanity

A Hampton shaker vanity with all drawers keeps small items sorted and easy to reach, while a door-and-drawer layout leaves a taller space for bottles and cleaning products. Drawers suit busy family bathrooms. Doors suit people who store tall items under the basin.

A handle-free Hampton vanity, such as Fremantle or Hamilton, opens on a finger pull, so there is nothing to snag a towel or to match to your tapware. Chester, Miami and Harrington use separate handles or knobs, which lets you pick up the finish of your taps. For more drawer layouts in other styles, see our drawer vanities.

• If you want every item visible at a glance, choose Fremantle or Hamilton.
• If you store tall bottles or a bin under the basin, choose Chester or Miami.
• If you have pipes coming up from the floor, choose a Harrington or Harold freestanding vanity.
• If the walkway in front of the vanity is tight, choose a slimline model about 365mm deep.

How to Measure for a Hampton Shaker Vanity

Measure a Hampton shaker vanity space for width, depth and plumbing before you pick a series. The standard cabinets in the models we checked are about 455mm to 465mm deep, and the slimline models are about 365mm deep. Use this checklist:

• Width: measure wall to wall, or wall to the shower screen, and allow room for doors and drawers to open past any nearby toilet or screen.
• Depth: check the walkway in front of the vanity once the drawers are open, not only when they are closed.
• Waste and water: note whether the pipes come out of the wall or up through the floor. A wall hung vanity suits wall plumbing; a freestanding vanity on a kickboard can hide floor plumbing.
• Wall framing: a wall hung Hampton vanity must be fixed into solid framing, so check before the wall is lined.
• Height: with a wall hung model you set the finished bench height at installation; a freestanding model's height is fixed by its base.

Every Hampton vanity listing gives the cabinet's width, depth and height, so compare those figures with your measurements before you order. A wall hung shaker vanity can also be found in other styles in our wall hung vanities range.

Single or Double Bowl in a 1200mm or 1500mm Hampton Vanity

A single bowl Hampton vanity at 1200mm or 1500mm gives you a long run of bench beside the basin, and it needs a single tap and waste. A double bowl suits two people who need the basin together during the morning rush. About half of the 1200mm and 1500mm models here come as a double bowl.

A 1200mm Hampton vanity in this collection is offered in Fremantle, Hamilton, Chester, Miami, Harrington, Harold and Acacia versions, in single and double bowl. Compare them with other styles in our 1200mm vanities. If you need more than 1500mm, the Hampton range stops there, so look at our 1800mm vanities.

Tops, Basins and Taps for a Hampton Vanity

A Hampton vanity from the Fremantle, Hamilton, Chester and Miami series is sold as a cabinet, and you choose the top on the listing. Other models come with or without a top depending on the listing, so check the options before you order.

The top options on the listings we checked fall into three groups:

• Ceramic top with an integrated basin: one moulded piece, with no join between bowl and bench.
• Stone top with an above counter basin: the basin sits on the bench as a feature. Browse above counter basins to match one.
• Sintered stone top with an undermount basin: the thickness depends on the series, for example 40mm on Harold and 50mm on Miami.

Stone tops for a Hampton vanity are made to order, and some listings let you choose the tap hole position or no tap hole. Brushed metal finishes suit the shaker look; see our brushed gold tapware to match Chester knobs or Miami handles.

Hampton Shaker Vanity Colours and Handle Finishes

A Hampton shaker vanity in this collection comes in four finishes, white, black, grey and olive green, all matte, and more than half of the models are matte white. A matte finish shows water spots and fingerprints less than gloss, which matters on a bathroom cabinet.

If you want the classic coastal look, choose matte white and compare our matte white vanities. If your room has white walls and tiles, a darker cabinet adds contrast; see our black vanities and grey vanities. If you want colour without a bold shade, choose Chester or Miami in olive green, or browse our green vanities.

Handle finishes on a Hampton vanity vary by series: Chester knobs come in brushed gold, brushed nickel, matte black or brushed copper, and Miami bar handles come in brushed gold, brushed nickel, gun metal, matte black or matte white.
