A Better Way to Construct Floating Vanities in Cabinet Vision

Bruce Chezem — Sat, 15 Mar 2025 00:44:48 +0000

A Better Way to Construct Floating Vanities in Cabinet Vision Bruce Chezem Fri, 03/14/2025 - 17:44

If you're looking to draw and modify your floating vanity projects faster in Cabinet Vision, Tayla has a few tricks to share with you in this video.

04:00 - The slow way

02:33 - The better way

What Are the Pros of Floating Vanities?

Floating vanities are not just a sleek and modern aesthetic choice, they can be a real space saver as well. Since floated cabinets are wall-mounted, they leave an extra space space beneath the cabinet that can be used to easily slide items under without cabinet doors or drain parts getting in the way.
