🛁 Wall Hung vs Floor Standing Vanity – Which One Is Right for Your NZ Bathroom?

At The Tile Collection, we stock a wide range of modern bathroom vanities — both wall mounted and freestanding — in various sizes, colours, and materials. Let’s break down the pros and cons of each type, and help you make an informed choice.
