Storage does not all need to gather beneath the basin. Our Aberdeen bathroom combines two drawer units beneath the eaves with a wall-hung vanity at the washing position. The lower roof space contributes to the room without taking over the taller walls.
A similar plan can separate spare supplies from products used every morning. Think about how often each drawer will be opened and where you will stand to use it. Put things used every day where their reach suits the routine and reserve the lower section for items taken out less often. Low storage can be useful, but its approach and opening space still need checking. Planning the eaves and basin together gives each area a role instead of asking one vanity to hold the entire bathroom.
