The vanity that fits is the one that leaves circulation after the shower door opens — not the double basin from the showroom end.

| Room leftover | Honest vanity start | Usually too wide |
|---|---|---|
| Tight ensuite after shower + WC | 600–750 mm or a wall basin | 1500 mm double basin |
| Comfortable single wall | 900–1200 mm | Anything that collides with the shower door |
| True two-person morning | Double only if two people stand there | Two cramped bowls in a 1.8 m room |
In a tight Australian ensuite, a 600–750 mm vanity (or a wall basin with a slim cabinet) is often the honest fit. A 900–1200 mm single vanity is the comfort zone if the shower door and toilet leave you a place to stand. Measure the leftover wall after shower and cistern, then subtract door swings. A 1500 mm double vanity in a 1.8 m room is a showroom fantasy.
