Flauto fluted wall hung vanity range

One design idea, five ways to own it. The Flauto range takes a single gesture — the softly fluted front — and scales it across five wall-hung vanity units, so whatever your room's shape, there's a Flauto that fits it like it was measured for the job. This guide walks through the whole family: what each unit does best, how to choose between them, and how to live with one once it's on your wall.

The Idea Behind Flauto

Fluting is one of the oldest tricks in architecture — the Greeks ran it up their columns because it makes a flat surface feel alive, catching light and shadow as the day moves. Flauto borrows that idea and shrinks it onto bathroom furniture: a rhythmic line of soft ridges that turns a storage cabinet into something closer to a sculpture. The effect is tactile even before you touch it, and it photographs beautifully — which is why the range has become the one designers reach for when a client says "I want it to feel expensive but not shouty."

The second half of the idea is what you don't see: every unit in the family hangs on the wall. No legs, no plinth, no pedestal. The floor line runs unbroken beneath, the room instantly reads bigger, and the weekly clean is one pass of the mop instead of an obstacle course. It's the single feature every Flauto shares, and the reason the range feels so calm in a real room rather than a showroom.

The Range at a Glance

All five come in the same four colourways — Country Oak, Midnight Shadow, Smoked Sage and Soft Coffee — so a house can carry the Flauto look from the downstairs cloakroom to the family bathroom and the master en-suite without ever repeating itself.

Unit by Unit: Which One Fits Your Room

The Original: 600mm or 800mm with Matte Basin

Start here if you have a straight wall and want the complete package in one box. The 600mm (W610 x D465 x H365mm) is the cloakroom and en-suite champion — slim enough for a tight run of wall, yet with two full drawers of storage. Step up to the 800mm (W810 x D465 x H365mm) in a family bathroom and you gain the wider basin and a drawer that swallows the clutter of five people's morning routines. At £611.10 and £675.00 respectively, it's also the most accessible way into the range.

The Corner Solver: 870mm Curved

Every bathroom has that corner — the one where a straight vanity juts out awkwardly or leaves a dead gap. The 870mm curved corner unit turns it into the best-looking wall in the room. The curved front softens the whole space (nothing to bruise a hip on), and you choose it two ways: with a matte basin included, or with a sintered stone worktop at £804.60 if you'd rather pick your own countertop basin and make that the star.

The Compact Pro: 600mm with Sintered Stone

The cloakroom special. Same footprint-friendly 600mm width as the original, but topped with sintered stone instead of the integrated matte basin — the right call when you want a small room to punch above its weight with a statement countertop basin.

The Statement: 1070mm Curved Corner

For bigger rooms that still have a corner to solve, the 1070mm takes everything the 870mm does and stretches it: more counter, more storage, more presence. In Midnight Shadow with brass taps above a large-format tile floor, it's the kind of unit guests ask about.

Sintered Stone vs Polymarble: What to Pick

The range runs on two surface materials, and the choice is easier than it sounds:

  • Matte white polymarble basin (included units): warm to the touch, seamless with the unit, zero decisions needed. Non-porous and easy to wipe clean. This is the "it just works" option — brilliant for family bathrooms and rentals.
  • Sintered stone worktop (basin-your-own units): engineered under intense heat and pressure, sintered stone is extraordinarily hard — scratch-resistant, heat-resistant, and utterly unbothered by hot straighteners or spilled skincare. You add the countertop basin of your choice, which makes these the units for design-led projects where the basin is the jewellery.

Short version: pick polymarble for simplicity, sintered stone for statement.

Choosing Your Colour

  • Country Oak — the warm one. Softens hard tiling, works beautifully with white or cream basins, brass and black taps alike.
  • Midnight Shadow — the dramatic one. Deep, near-black fronts that make brass hardware glow and white basins pop. Best with good lighting.
  • Smoked Sage — the trend one. An earthy, grey-green that pairs with stone tones, terrazzo and warm woods. Calm in daylight, moody at night.
  • Soft Coffee — the cosy one. A milky brown that flatters cream tiles and beige stone; the friendliest of the four with existing suites.

If you're torn, order the room around the fixed things first — tile colour, floor, window light — and let the Flauto colour follow. All four are muted enough to live with for years; none of them is chasing this season's fashion.

Living With It: Care & Everyday Use

  • Drawers: soft-close metal runners throughout the range. Load them, but don't slam them — the mechanism does the work for you.
  • Matte basin: warm water and a soft cloth is the whole routine. Avoid abrasive creams and they'll look new for years.
  • Sintered stone: nearly indestructible day-to-day; a pH-neutral cleaner keeps the surface uniform.
  • Fluted fronts: dust settles in the grooves — a soft brush or the brush head of your vacuum once a month keeps the lines crisp.
  • Floor beneath: the wall-hung gap makes mopping trivial. It's one of those upgrades you stop noticing until you visit a house without it.

Guarantee & Stock

Every Flauto carries a 2 year guarantee as standard. The full range — all five units, all four colours — is stocked in the UK and ready to dispatch, so the vanity you choose this week is the one on your wall next week, not a twelve-week lead time.

The Short Version

Straight wall, want it simple? The original with matte basin, from £611.10. Awkward corner? The 870mm curved with sintered stone at £804.60, or the same curve with the basin included. Tiny cloakroom? The 600mm with sintered stone. Big room, big plans? The 1070mm. Five units, one fluted idea — and one bathroom that finally feels finished.
