Quick answer
This floating vanity guide helps you check one thing first: your wall. A wall-mounted cabinet leaves the floor clear below it, but it still needs a sound wall and the right spot for your pipes. So read the size list, do the wall check, and only then pick a model.
How to use this floating vanity guide
Start with the room, not with a photo. First, measure the wall where the cabinet will hang. Next, look at the floor space in front of that wall. Then check where your water pipes and drain sit today. Also think about who uses the room each day. A guest bath and a main bath ask for different things. So this floating vanity guide works in a simple order: size first, wall second, model last. Still, keep a tape and a pencil close. You will use them more than once. That said, no step here takes long. Most checks take five minutes each. Instead of rushing, write each number down. A short list on paper beats a guess later.
What a floating vanity is, and how it differs from a floor vanity
A floating vanity is a bathroom cabinet that hangs on the wall and does not touch the floor. You may also see this same type sold as a wall mounted bathroom vanity. The cabinet body sits off the ground, so the floor below stays open. You can mop under it with ease. A floor vanity works in the other way. It stands on legs or on a base, and its weight rests on the floor. But the open floor below a wall-mounted cabinet changes the room. The room can feel less crowded, because your eye sees more floor. Still, the cabinet holds the same kind of things: a basin on top and storage inside. Some models give you drawers. Others give you a door. Also, the pipes sit inside or below the cabinet, just as they do with a floor model. So the real change is where the cabinet rests, not what it does. Here's why that matters: a floor model can hide a weak wall, but a wall-mounted one cannot. The wall does the work here. Instead, the floor does the work with a standing model. That one point drives the wall check below.
Sizes and widths
The range sold at Veil starts small and runs wide. The smallest size in the list is 24 in, and the widest is 72 in. But width alone does not tell you the fit. So use this floating vanity guide in three steps here: match the width to your wall, then check the depth on the product page, and then check the floor space in front. The 24 in to 36 in sizes suit a powder room or a guest bath. In that group, you will find the Abruzzo, which runs from 24 in up to 72 in, and the Deervalleyat 30 in. The Longbaysits at 36 in too. Next, the mid sizes give one person more counter room. The Stellahas a verified size of 49 in, and its other sizes are not measured yet. Then the wide sizes suit a shared bath. The Maranonand the Nileboth reach 60 in, and the MarbleLux comes in 36, 48 and 60 in. Also, you can browse the full range on the collection page before you pick a size. Still, treat each size as a start point, not as a promise. Your wall and your walkway make the last call.
Wall check before you buy
Do this check before you fall for a colour or a finish. People use more than one name for this type of cabinet. Some listings call it a wall hung bathroom vanity. Others use the shorter name wall mount vanity. The name does not change the check, though. First, look at the wall itself. It should feel solid and flat, with no loose tiles or soft spots. Next, find where your supply lines and drain come out of the wall. The cabinet has to sit so the pipes meet the basin with ease. Then measure the floor space in front of the wall. You need room to stand, and room for the door of the room to swing. Also check the swing of any cabinet door below the basin. So this part of this floating vanity guide stays with general steps only, because each model fixes to the wall in its own way. Check the manufacturer's install guide before mounting. That said, if your wall feels weak or your pipes sit far from the spot, talk to a fitter first. A short talk now can save a cracked tile later.
When a floating vanity is not the right choice
Sometimes the honest answer is no. If your wall is weak or patched in the spot you need, pick a floor model instead. Also skip this type if your pipes come up through the floor, because the open space below shows them at once. Still, here is the plain limit of this floating vanity guide: it can help you size the cabinet and check the wall, but it cannot tell you if your wall will hold a given model. Only the maker's guide and a look at your wall can do that. But the limit is not a flaw. It keeps you from a costly fix later. So if the wall check fails, do not force the fit. A standing cabinet in the same width will still serve the room well.
Models at Veil
For a guest bath, I'd pick the Deervalley at 30 in, because its door has soft-close hinges and there are no drawers to line up.

Abruzzo — Sizes from 24 to 72 in, a single-hole faucet and an integrated basin, in Natural Oak or Smoked Walnut.

FAQ:
Questions
Will one of these cabinets fit a small powder room?
Often yes, because the smaller sizes start at 24 in wide. A 24 in or 30 in cabinet leaves the floor open below, so the room feels less full. But the door swing can still spoil the fit. So measure the wall, then mark the cabinet width on the wall with tape. Also stand in the spot and act out your morning routine. If you feel squeezed with tape alone, pick a smaller size.
What should you check on the wall before you order?
This floating vanity guide puts the wall first for a reason. Check that the wall feels solid and flat in the spot you picked. Next, check where your supply lines and drain come out, because the basin has to meet them. Then check the floor space in front, and the swing of the room door. However, the fixing steps sit in the maker's install guide, so read that guide before you mount the cabinet.
Can two people share the wide sizes?
Yes, if your wall and walkway give you the room for them. The Maranon at 60 in has a double basin, so two people can use the top at once. The Nile at 60 in gives you a wide top as well. But a wide cabinet eats wall space on both sides of the basin. So check the space beside the toilet too. Also leave room to stand side by side, not just room for the cabinet.
When should you pick a floor model instead?
Pick a floor model if your wall is weak, or if your pipes come up through the floor. A standing cabinet rests on the floor, so it hides floor pipes and asks less of the wall. Also pick one if you need deep storage low down, near the floor. Still, measure the same things first: width, door swing and floor space. The size checks stay the same. Only the way the cabinet rests changes.
