The benefits of having an integrated bathroom sink and furniture unit
An ideal two-in-one design built for functionality and versatility.
Bathroom furniture design continually evolves to embrace elegant shapes and styles suitable for small and large spaces, all while prioritizing user needs. Among contemporary bathroom furniture choices, the integrated basin furniture units, referred to as Unik by Roca, have gained considerable popularity. These furniture units offer a range of options, from models with various storage features to flexible basin designs that can accommodate larger sinks or provide space for accessories. Let’s delve into the unique aspects of Unik furniture to discover the style that perfectly suits your space and personal taste.
Better storage, better bathroom
Better storage space is one of the most repeated wishes when it comes to bathroom design. In small spaces, the problem is obvious. However, small does not mean you have to forego good storage options. The Mini and Mini Pro are special collections designed for those tiny spaces found under the stairwell, in attic apartments or in other micro bathroom spaces. It is a versatile collection, despite its small stature, that offers maximum storage in a discreet way, including stylish side hooks for towels, as seen on the Mini Pro. Other collections with small basin and furniture units include Ona, which has special in-drawer organization units as well as attractive accessories that can fit on the sink, inside the drawer, or in the cabinet.

Storage can appear easier to handle in spacious bathrooms, but this isn’t necessarily true, especially if you prefer a minimal and uncluttered design. One of the best ways to manage day-to-day storage needs such as makeup, brushes, cotton balls or medicines, is in a well-organized drawer. The modern style of Optica features integrated compartments in its drawer unit. For two people or families who need their own space, the double sink with integrated furniture unit in the Ona Collection features four drawers – two on the left and two on the right, avoiding any clutter or arguments over space.
Deciding on Bathroom Solutions
Choosing between one or two drawers or opting for a cabinet can be a difficult decision to make. The Gap presents a unique design solution where half of the furniture unit consists of drawers, while the other half features a cabinet. The Tenue Collection also has a side nook or open module space next to its drawers for items that don’t quite fit into a drawer. This gives you the flexibility to store taller items, such as cleaning supplies or extra shampoo bottles, on one side, and smaller items inside the drawer.

In addition, The Gap features an impressive three-drawer unit with an integrated sink for larger families or roommates who want as much space as possible. In contrast, the Inspira Collection prioritizes maximizing the depth of the drawer space, an innovative design approach that broadens the possibilities for interior drawer storage solutions.
Seamless integration
Opting for an integrated basin and furniture unit offers the advantage of expanding the basin area, providing extra washing space. This also promotes cleaner surfaces, preventing water stains on countertops or similar concerns. Some models feature a flat side space for tumblers and dispensers, making efficient use of a generous basin space. In essence, there is a two-fold benefit: increased basin size and enhanced countertop storage.

Effortless cleaning
What’s not to love in a design feature that makes it easier to clean and maintain? With an integrated sink and furniture unit, there are no awkward spaces where dirt and lime deposits can accummulate. The countertop is typically made of ceramic, often featuring innovative materials like Fineceramic® or Stonex®, which include additional germ-resistant and limescale-preventing properties.
When it comes to storage, cleaning and style, Unik furniture units bring many advantages to the bathroom space. Combining increased basin space with practical storage solutions in a single unit, they create a harmonious bathroom design.
