Bathroom vanities are small jobs that are easy to get wrong: basins, taps, drawers that must clear the waste pipe, and a mirror that has to line up. This tutorial builds a wall-hung double vanity with an LED mirror and a tall unit in Woodkraft. The example bathroom is 2600 × 2200 mm.

1. Start a new job

Start a new job, give it a name, and open the Room planner from the side bar.

2. Draw the room

  1. Press Draw the walls and click where the first corner goes.
  2. Type 2600 and press Enter.
  3. Turn the corners with length, @ and angle: 2200@90, then 2600@180.
  4. Click the first corner to close the room.

3. Place the vanity

Click the back wall and open the Vanities tab. Drag the double vanity onto the middle of the wall: it lands where you drop it. It hangs on the wall, with two basins on top and two drawers under each.

4. Set it up

Click the vanity to change it. The example puts the taps on the wall and adds an LED strip underneath, which makes a wall-hung unit look like it floats. Press Apply.

5. Mirror and tall unit

Drag an LED mirror onto the wall above the vanity. Then drag a bathroom tall unit into the space on the right: doors at the top and bottom, with an open shelf in the middle.

6. Choose the style

The style panel changes the whole room. The example uses sage for the doors and drawers, with a brushed brass handle. For bathrooms, choose a board made for damp rooms and seal every cut edge.

7. See it

The front view shows each wall with every size on it. The 3D view is what your client sees: drag to turn the room.

8. Check the design

Press Design check. Woodkraft reads the design for mistakes, such as units that overlap or basins that do not fit between the sides of the unit under them.

9. Add your prices

Type what you pay your supplier for each material once; Woodkraft keeps the prices for every job after.

10. Send it to the cut list

Press Send to cut list, open Cutting and press Optimize. Woodkraft tries thousands of layouts and keeps the best one, so even a small job uses as little board as possible.

Cutting plans: parts laid out on sheets
Cutting plans with every part drawn on its sheet.

The cut list gives the saw sizes with the edge banding already taken off. More in how to make a cut list.

11. Production drawings

Print the floor plan, the wall elevations and a sheet for each cabinet.

12. Price the job and send the quote

Open Estimate for labour and markup, then Quote and Create quote. Add the client's name and a deposit, and save it as a PDF or let the client sign on the screen.
