Timber Vanities
Can You Use Timber in a Bathroom? Absolutely! Here’s Why.
At The Custom Creative, we’re often asked whether timber is suitable for bathroom spaces. And while there’s nothing wrong with using materials like laminate or PVC, timber is a beautiful, durable, and smart choice - especially when finished properly.
Below, we break down a few key reasons why timber performs just as well in your bathroom as it does in your kitchen.
________________________________________1. It’s Durable - Even in Wet Areas
Our timber and veneer vanities are sealed with a professional-grade 2-pack polyurethane coating. This finish forms a hard, water-resistant layer that protects against humidity, moisture, and everyday wear. The result? Long-lasting performance, even in the most frequently used bathroom spaces.

2. It Adds Warmth and Natural Beauty
Timber brings an organic softness and character to your bathroom that manufactured surfaces often can’t match. The natural grain, colour variation, and tactile feel create a calming, spa-like vibe - perfect for your daily wind-down or wake-up routine.

3. It Ages Gracefully - and Can Be Repaired
Unlike laminates that may peel or chip over time, timber develops a natural patina and can be refinished if marked. This means your vanity can be restored, refreshed, or even updated down the line, rather than replaced.

4. It's No Different Than Using Timber in Your Kitchen
Timber is already a trusted material in kitchens, where water, heat, and constant use are part of daily life. With the right coating and construction, it’s equally suited to the bathroom - delivering strength, sustainability, and timeless style. With proper care of the Timber, there is no reason why it can't last the test of time.
