Soft, Simple, and Sublime: Girls’ Vanity

As part of our multi-vanity renovation in Waiheke Island, BoxMakers chose a stunningly simple yet wholly elegant design for the girls’ vanity. Purpose-built with ease of operation and minimalism in mind, this unit is designed for sleek adaptability.

Smooth, pure, and chic, the benchtop is made from Caesarstone’s Organic White. This thin-profile, speckled mineral top is perfect for delivering a strong surface without the bulkiness of thicker benches. Within, it effortlessly accommodates the circular basin, chosen by the homeowner. Likewise, the faucet fixtures are in matching aged brass with the master vanity.

Below, the cabinetry features 16mm Prime MDF finished and edged with VidaSpace’s Desert Oak Veneer. Of note is the opening mechanism for the drawers, which carefully incorporates a 25mm finger-pull gap to allow for handleless operation, making the entire face fully uniform. The internals feature Häfele’s Alto soft-close system, which makes opening and closing smooth and silent – perfect even for nighttime.

We also included a cabinet-side power outlet, which means your electric toothbrush or hairdryer can operate comfortably within hand’s reach.

BoxMakers were also in charge of the mirror: a centre-open unit that reveals dual internal shelves, plus more power outlets. Kitted with Häfele’s soft-close hinges, mirror-side beauty lights, and an internal demister pad to chase away fog, it’s clearer than ever to wash, do makeup, or simply admire oneself. Opening and closing is handleless as well, with drop-down finger-pulls comfortably situated at the bottom.

This girls’ vanity is an excellent example of BoxMakers’ attention to use case. We design joinery that fits – not just physically and aesthetically, but practically. Whether it’s a featureful modern kitchen, practical man-cave bathroom, or a trendy minimalist vanity, we know the assignment and can tailor to your needs perfectly.

Uncompromising Luxury in a Double Vanity

As part of our unforgettable renovation for this luxury Waiheke home, BoxMakers played a pivotal role in the master ensuite, overseeing work on a spectacular double vanity. Serving the flagship bedroom, the client wished for a unit that could not only uphold but elevate the quality of the bathroom as a whole – something that BoxMakers wholeheartedly delivered.

Fully built with premium materials, this ensuite is one for the history books. Right beside luxury views across Waiheke Island, our vanity stands tall as a hallmark of excellence.

A Premium Vanity

First and foremost, the body is made from a solid slab of Universal Granite’s Taj Mahal engineered stone. This ensured seamless, matching basins, and a perfect pairing with the aged brass faucet fixtures. With a crystalline, almost leathered appearance, in the tones of a stormy waterfall, this Taj Mahal finish is flowing with character.

Below, the broad cabinet drawers feature a finger-pull design with VidaSpace’s Desert Oak veneer. This intrinsically calming finish creates a perfect contrast with the benchtop. Of note is the handleless operation, which makes the face panels flush with the rest of the unit, and creates a seamless aesthetic that runs as gently as a calm stream. Likewise, opening is just as much a breeze, thanks to Häfele’s Alto soft-close system.

Quality Dual Mirror-Cabinets

Above, the dual basins naturally call for dual mirrors. These twin mirror cabinets feature 5mm rectangular polished edges and a similarly handleless design, with a bottom finger-pull mechanism. Also installed was a 3mm aluminium frame to all four edges of each mirror, adding a distinct highlight. On either side, tube-style wall scones mount outside the mirrors, complementing each night with a dazzling warm glow akin to torchlight.

With a seamless benchtop and cabinetry pairing, this master ensuite vanity comes with every feature to complement its centrepiece. Paired with sweeping island views, it makes for a perfect place to unwind or freshen up.

Stay Organised in Style — Ocean Blue Laundry Renovation by BoxMakers

This L-shaped laundry renovation in vivid ocean blue colour combines functionality and elegance, turning a simple utility space into a sleek, organised zone. Designed with both style and practicality in mind, the new laundry cabinetry makes everyday washing tasks more convenient and efficient.

The layout allows clothes to be separated into designated spaces, making laundry management effortless and helping to minimise clutter that often spills into the living areas. A key focus was user convenience; the cabinetry was customised to fit the homeowner’s specific routine, ensuring that every shelf, hanger, and basket serves a purpose.

To make the most of the available footprint, the design maximises vertical storage, reducing the need for bulky horizontal rods while keeping everything easily accessible.

The glossy face panels and semi-matt white engineered stone benchtop create a refined, modern aesthetic, complemented by a matching stainless steel sink and tap for a clean, cohesive look.

Practical features include pull-out clothes baskets for effortless sorting and hanger systems with Grippers that keep trousers neatly in place without slipping.

The result is a beautifully balanced modern laundry space that blends design and function. Proof that even the most practical rooms can be elevated into something exceptional.

Maximum Storage with Minimal Style — Straight Laundry by BoxMakers

This straight-line laundry renovation proves that simplicity doesn’t mean compromise. Designed and built by BoxMakers Auckland, the space combines maximum storage capacity with a clean, minimal aesthetic, perfect for homeowners who value order, warmth, and effortless functionality.

The layout follows a single-wall configuration, ideal for compact spaces. Every cabinet, shelf, and pull-out system is purpose-built to separate clothes efficiently, keeping laundry clutter neatly out of sight. The design focuses on user convenience, making daily tasks smoother while maintaining an open, uncluttered look.

To optimise storage, BoxMakers utilised vertical cabinetry to its fullest, reducing the need for bulky hanging rods and freeing up benchtop space. The cabinetry features light wooden face panels, bringing a soft, natural warmth to the room, balanced by a satin-finished white benchtop that adds a sense of calm and refinement.

Completing the palette, an anthracite sink and matching tapware introduce a subtle contrast and elevate the overall tone. Practical elements like pull-out clothes baskets and extendable hangers make organisation effortless. Everything has its place, and every detail serves a purpose.

The result is a modern, minimalist laundry that’s as visually pleasing as it is practical — a perfect example of BoxMakers’ approach to blending craftsmanship, design, and everyday usability.
