Your bathroom vanity isn’t just for storing toiletries or towels; it’s a central design element that shapes both the functionality and style of your bathroom. The way a vanity opens, whether through statement handles, sleek extrusions, or subtle negative detailing, can quietly influence the overall tone and feel of your bathroom space.
Across Newtech’s vanity ranges, including Savanna, Sahara, Boulevard, Serenity and Frank, a variety of drawer pull options are available, allowing for visual and tactile customisation without compromising on function. With each opening style offering its own aesthetic and practical benefits, it's easy to tailor your vanity to suit both your space and your needs.
Handles remain a popular and practical choice. Available in a range of finishes ranging from classic chrome, to contemporary matte black and warm brushed brass, handles can be easily matched with tapware and accessories to create a cohesive look.
Providing both a visual focal point and a tactile experience, you’ll find handles available in a range of shapes and profiles. Newtech’s handle options, such as roma, arlo, nero and pixi, each bring their own character, ranging from clean and minimalist to bold and sculptural, allowing for greater expression in your vanity style.
With so many options in both shape and finish, handles are a versatile choice that can add subtle elegance or bold contrast — perfect for enhancing every bathroom, whether timeless and classic, or sleek and modern.
Metal extrusions offer a more minimalist aesthetic. These integrated pulls are built into the top edge of the drawer, eliminating the need for protruding hardware while maintaining easy access.
Extrusions are well suited to modern interiors and are particularly useful in small bathrooms where visual simplicity enhances the sense of space. You’ll find metal extrusions across several of Newtech’s vanity collections, including Boulevard, Serenity, and Frank, with colour options available to complement matching fixtures such as mirror frames and towel rails.
The clean, understated style of extrusions makes them an ideal choice for those seeking both elegance and efficiency in their bathroom design.
For a seamless appearance, negative detail cabinetry removes the need for handles or visible rails altogether. Instead, an angled cut into the drawer front provides a recessed pull. In some ranges, such as Boulevard, Savanna and Sahara, this pull can be matched to the timber finish of the vanity, creating a unified and built-in aesthetic.
Offering a refined and uninterrupted surface across your cabinetry, negative detail pulls suit contemporary and architectural interiors, bringing a sense of quiet sophistication and intentional design to your space.
Each drawer style, whether handle, extrusion, or negative detail has its own advantages. Handles provide visual emphasis, extrusions offer streamlined ease, and negative detail creates seamless integration.
Choosing between them comes down to how you want your cabinetry to function in daily use and how much attention you want it to draw. Whether your vanity blends quietly into the background or stands out as a defining feature, it’s entirely up to you.
