Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Jun 30, 2010 11:35 pm I want my vanity in my ensuite to be floating, however it is too late as we are at plaster stage of the building process (so all the plumbing is completed). Is it possible to make a vanity "appear" floating with a recessed kicker? If so, how many mm off the floor should the vanity be so you don't see the kicker? Alternatively is it possible to tile over the kicker so the vanity appears floating?

I just measured the cabinet overhang, and it's 230mm at the front and 130mm at the sides. The cabinet itself is 500mm deep. The height from floor to base of cabinet is about 200mm. So that would make the pedestal/base section about 270mm deep x 200mm high, and the width is 260mm less than the vanity width (our cabinets are different widths). In my opinion just a few more indoor plants and you're done.
