Simply use mild soap and warm water. Avoid harsh chemicals or acidic cleaners to keep the surface looking flawless for years.

2. 100% Solid Oak Vanity Cabinets

Complete your dream bathroom with our solid oak vanities. Each cabinet offers extra storage with drawers, helping you keep your space tidy and organised. The natural warmth of oak beautifully complements the cool, elegant finish of our stone basins, creating a harmonious and balanced look.

💡 Quick tip: Can you use solid oak furniture in a bathroom?
Yes! When properly sealed, oak bathroom cabinets are moisture-resistant and ideal for humid NZ conditions. Oak brings natural charm while maintaining durability and structural strength.

A bath vanity from Oak Furniture Store is more than just storage—it’s a centrepiece that transforms your bathroom into a space of calm and luxury. The combination of natural oak and sustainable stone provides a timeless look that will not go out of style.

Functionality & Style: Beyond the Surface

Our products are more than just beautiful—they’re built for real life. The basin is the focal point of your daily routine, so its durability is key. Our terrazzo basins are resistant to staining and water absorption, providing both functionality and refined elegance.

When paired with our solid oak vanities, the basin becomes the star of your vanity corner. The drawers ensure all your essentials are neatly tucked away, keeping your bathroom clean, organised, and effortlessly stylish. Whether you’re preparing for the day or winding down in the evening, these fixtures elevate everyday rituals into moments of quiet sophistication.

💡 Quick tip: How to avoid mould in my bathroom?
For regular maintenance, wipe surfaces with a damp cloth, no special cleaners needed. However, it is important to keep humidity under control by ensuring proper ventilation, and using moisture-resistant materials like terrazzo.
