Wooden vanity units and countertops for a Nordic-style bathroom

The Scandinavian aesthetic is all about natural materials and pared back designs, perfect for the modern bathroom

Wooden finishes, rustic details and simple shapes – Nordic-style interiors are inspired by the cold northern winter and bring warmth into the home. In harmony with nature, this style is much more than a decorative trend. It is a way of living life that removes the unnecessary to emphasize what really matters: turning our home into a space in which we can truly be ourselves.

 

When it comes to bathrooms, wooden wall hung vanity units, countertops for basins and tall bathroom cabinets all feed into the Nordic aesthetic. In this article we explore a range of furniture pieces and collections which can help you capture this charismatic and comforting style.

Wooden finishes for Nordic bathroom vanities

Wooden finishes are an excellent way to replicate the charm of Nordic homes. In the bathroom this can be translated into your choice of vanity unit. Roca ranges such as Lander, Gap, Beyond, Domi and Inspira, feature vanity units that are available in Nordic Ash and City Oak finishes. Choosing these nature inspired finishes will go towards creating a pleasant and inviting atmosphere.

 

As well as vanity units, tall bathroom cabinets feature in the Lander and Inspira collections, which can be a really useful storage solution, especially for bathrooms where floor space is limited.

For the techy among you, Stratum in its Textured Yosemite finish could be a great vanity unit choice –  its Bluetooth® speakers and internal lights are packaged in nature-inspired materials.

 

Nordic bathroom vanities to attract light

Inspired by the cold countries of northern Europe, the Nordic style aims to make the most of natural light by opting for open designs and light colors. The Savana countertop in a City Oak is a minimalist alternative to a full vanity unit. The countertop is made from highly durable materials and can be integrated into a variety of bathroom styles, but will work especially well in a Scandinavian inspired scheme.

Nordic bathroom vanities that prioritize practicality

Simplicity tends to result in comfort when it comes to bathroom design. Nordic decoration is informed by practicality above all else. When developing a Nordic inspired bathroom always consider functionality – what items will work best in your bathroom, not just what will look the best. For example, The Gap collection includes a functional base unit that can be installed as a wall hung vanity or on legs, and which is available in up to 24 different sizes with practical details such as an optional side towel rail.

So, do you think a Nordic bathroom could be the bathroom for you? As we’ve mentioned, there are many Roca collections that possess a Scandi-style. When you decide on a collection, be sure to explore all the different variations that are available in its furniture range. Vanity unit or countertop? Wall-hung or legs? What will be more useful to you – drawers or cupboards? There are many configurations out there so take your time to find the solution that is best suited to your space and requirements.
