A timber vanity does more than just create storage; it sets the tone for your bathroom. With the natural warmth and character, a handcrafted wooden vanity elevates your bathroom into a space of beauty and calm.
Each of our custom vanities is hand-made from sustainably sourced or recycled Australian hardwoods in our solar-powered workshop in Torquay on the Victorian Surfcoast. Built to last and designed to be treasured, our vanities are crafted to order by our passionate team of furniture makers.
At Bombora, we believe your bathroom furniture should be as functional as it is beautiful. That’s why each of our handcrafted timber vanities is designed and made to order to ensure it fits your home and how you live.
Our range of real wood vanities complements a wide variety of aesthetics, from coastal modern to luxe industrial. We use sustainably sourced Australian hardwood and natural furniture finish Osmo that is hard-wearing, non-toxic and easy to care for to ensure you can really use your timber vanity, not just look at it!
Every Bombora vanity is made to order and can be customised to suit your space, your storage requirements and personal style. You can select your preferred basin location, configuration, timber species and sizing.
You can also select a solid timber or stone top to complete your vanity and on the inside, choose between white melamine or solid timber internal.
We offer a selection of 7 different timbers for our wooden vanities. These options are either recycled or sustainably sourced with certifications such as FSC. There is the right timber for every different bathroom aesthetic including the pale tones of American Oak, the feature-rich Messmate and the chocolate tones of Walnut.
All of our vanities can be made with either a timber or stone bench top. Our standard stone top is the Stone Ambassador "Pearl White"; however, you can choose any of their range of silica-free reconstituted stone.
All of our timber bathroom vanities can be created with either a moisture-resistant E0 white melamine or timber. No matter our preference, your vanity will look the same from the outside.
Take your custom vanity to new heights with the addition of some extra special customisations such as a rebated LED channel, a handmade timber handle or a matching mirror cabinet.
Selecting the perfect centrepiece involves balancing your available floor space with your daily storage needs. Whether you are working with a compact ensuite or a grand family bathroom, the right configuration ensures your space remains both functional and open.
A wall-hung design is an excellent way to create the illusion of more floor space in tight areas. Opting for a timber bathroom vanity in a floating style allows you to showcase more of your floor tiles while providing a clean, contemporary look.
If your priority is keeping your benchtops clutter-free, a floor-mounted unit offers the maximum internal volume. Our bathroom vanity timber options are ideal for family bathrooms that require deep drawers for towels and toiletries.
The layout of your vanity should be guided by your existing plumbing and basin preference. You can choose to have your basin centred or offset to one side on our timber bathroom vanities, providing more usable bench space for your morning routine.
To further enhance your layout, consider a timber-top bathroom vanity to add organic warmth to the room. This choice creates a high-end feel while ensuring your bespoke timber vanity bathroom remains the focal point of the renovation.
Choosing recycled timber is about more than aesthetics. It’s a more thoughtful way to furnish your bathroom, bringing together sustainability, craftsmanship and character in one beautifully functional piece.
Some of the reasons to choose a recycled piece include:
By opting for materials with a previous life, you bring a sense of soul and warmth into your bathroom that feels both grounded and luxurious.
A common question for timber in bathrooms is how it handles moisture. In our Torquay workshop, specialised seasoning and joinery techniques are used to ensure every piece remains stable. This process allows the wood to adapt to the humidity levels found in coastal homes, preventing it from losing its structural integrity.
A well-made timber vanity is designed for daily use, and with the right care, it will continue to look beautiful for years to come. Simple habits can help preserve the finish and protect the timber's natural character.
To keep your vanity in excellent condition:
Over time, real timber will develop character, which is part of its appeal. With gentle upkeep and a little attention, your timber bathroom vanity will remain a practical and lasting feature in your home.

We love to bring our client's bathroom dreams to life! Aside from our portfolio range of modern timber vanities, we can create a custom piece from an inspo image or sketch. Contact us for a quote!
Using a basin that isn’t top-mounted will require an alternative cutout size as well as alterations to the overall size and internal layout of the vanity to allow for the basin.
This is a custom design process with an additional charge of $50 per semi-inset cutout and $300 per undermount cutout.
We only recommend a stone top with an undermount basin.
We will need to have the basin at our workshop to ensure that the cutout and internal structures of the vanity are correct.
Yes, we can rebate a LED channel to the base of your vanity for an additional charge of $200. This channel includes a diffuser.
This does not include the electrical componants. You will need an electrician to supply and install the LED light strip once your vanity has been installed.

We mainly use Australian timbers such as Messmate or Tasmanian Blackwood. These timbers are locally sourced in Melbourne or Geelong to save travel miles and support small businesses in our local community.
Our factory is solar powered for the majority of the year. Read more about our eco-responsible practices here >
All the timber vanity and melamine components are created by our team of furniture makers in Torquay, 90 minutes from Melbourne. The stone tops and mirror doors are created in Geelong.
Yes, we are lucky to have a couple of fantastic local wood suppliers to make our recycled timber vanities. The reclaimed wood we can source is Messmate, Ironbark, Blackbutt and Jarrah. Click here for more information on our timber options.
We offer either white melamine or timber options for the internal structures of our vanities.
Wood Internals - Our timber internals are crafted from sustainably sourced hardwood and matched veneer, offering not only natural beauty but also repairability, biodegradability, and longevity.
White Melamine Internals - White melamine creates a surface that is modern, easy to clean and budget-friendly. Our melamine is rated E0 and is moisture resistant.

Timber has been used to construct buildings and bridges for all of human existence. As long as the Osmo finish is correctly maintained, the surface remains stain and moisture-resistant. Read more about the Osmo furniture finish and the maintenance instructions
All of our vanity designs can be altered to have a stone top. Our standard is the stone ambassador “pearl white” however you can select from the entire Stone Ambassador and caesarstone ranges. Additional charges do apply.
All of our timber vanities are created with quality soft close blum runners and hinges.
The blum antaro range runners are used for the vanities with melamine internals.
Blum Movento runners are used for vanities with solid timber internals.
Our melamine internals are also created within our workshop by our team of furniture makers.
Messmate timber comes with a varying level of feature such as the sap line and recycled markings. Our standard level of feature for Messmate and recycled Messmate timber is medium. If you want something different, we have a $200 timber selection service to cover the additional time with ordering and selecting the timber. We can send you images for approval.
We require a 50% deposit to begin crafting your custom vanity.
The remaining balance is due once your piece is complete and ready for pickup or delivery.
