Ever feel like your vanity surface is more cluttered than calm? A cosmetic drawer might be the fix you need. These slimline internal drawers are integrated within the main drawer and positioned just beneath the vanity top, offering a convenient space for smaller personal items like makeup, grooming tools, and skincare essentials. But do you really need one? The answer depends on who’s using the space, how often, and how much organisation matters to your routine.
For high-use bathrooms, like family bathrooms or busy ensuites, a cosmetic drawer can be a game changer. Instead of cluttering your countertop with toothbrushes, razors, or makeup, a cosmetic drawer gives you a designated, easily accessible place for daily-use items.
A cosmetic drawer supports better hygiene, speeds up your routine, and helps maintain a streamlined look. In Newtech vanities, Hettich full-extension soft-close runners let these drawers open fully and close quietly, making it easy to access everything inside without noise or strain.

Especially useful in vanities with vessel or offset basins, cosmetic drawers offer a practical solution for preserving drawer depth often obstructed by plumbing. By keeping essentials close to the surface, cosmetic drawers maximise organisation without compromising your main storage zones.
Available as an upgrade on select vanity models, cosmetic drawers can be positioned on the left or right side — just specify your preference when ordering.
In contrast, for a guest bathroom or a low-use powder room, a cosmetic drawer might be unnecessary. If the space is used only occasionally, keeping things simple with a single or double-drawer layout may be more than enough. This also frees up room for larger items like spare towels or extra toiletries, and simplifies the cabinetry footprint in tighter spaces.
If you're after flexible storage that doesn’t compromise on style and durability, Newtech’s drawer-focused vanity designs are a strong starting point. Newtech’s vanity collection is built for lasting performance, featuring Hettich hardware and moisture-resistant materials across the board — including in popular ranges such as the Frank, Savanna, Serenity, and Boulevard. Whether you opt for cosmetic drawers, open shelving, or standard full-depth drawers, Newtech vanities are built to handle the demands of everyday use.
