Comparing Luxury Italian Bathroom Vanities: Berloni Bagno, Baden Haus & Alice Ceramica

A bathroom vanity does more than provide storage. It defines the visual character of the room, influences how people interact with the space every day, and often becomes the focal point of the entire bathroom.

At Pontem Home, we carry three distinct Italian brands: Berloni Bagno, Baden Haus, and Alice Ceramica. While all three deliver exceptional European craftsmanship and premium quality, they each approach bathroom design differently.

Rather than asking which brand is "better," ask:

Which vanity best matches your aesthetic, your budget and the way the space will be used?

The Right Vanity Isn't About One Brand Being Better 

Each collection available through Pontem Home reflects a different philosophy of luxury bathroom design.

Some projects call for the customization and precision of Berloni Bagno. Others benefit from the practical sophistication of Baden Haus. And sometimes, the perfect solution is the artistic personality of Alice Ceramica.

The best vanity isn't determined by the logo on the cabinet—it's determined by how well it supports the vision for the space.

Whether you're designing a serene primary suite or a dramatic powder room, choosing the right vanity starts with understanding how each collection brings something different to the design conversation.

At Pontem Home, we're here to help designers, architects, builders, and homeowners find the collection that fits both the space and the story they want that bathroom to tell.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What's the difference between a bathroom vanity and a bathroom console?

A bathroom vanity typically includes an enclosed cabinet that provides storage beneath the sink, making it a practical choice for everyday essentials. A bathroom console has a lighter, more open design, often supported by legs or a minimalist frame. While some consoles include drawers or shelving, they're generally chosen for their visual elegance and ability to make a bathroom feel more spacious.

Which luxury bathroom vanity is best for a primary bathroom?

It depends on how the space will be used. If customization is the priority, Berloni Bagno offers modular collections that can be tailored to your layout and storage needs. If you're looking for practical storage and a clean contemporary aesthetic, Baden Haus is an excellent choice. Both brands work well in primary bathrooms, with the right selection depending on the goals of the project.

Are Italian bathroom vanities worth the investment?

Many homeowners and designers choose Italian bathroom furniture for its combination of craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and premium materials. Beyond appearance, quality Italian vanities are built for long-term durability. They offer details such as precision joinery, refined finishes, and carefully considered proportions that contribute to a more polished finished space.

Which vanity is best for a small bathroom? 

For compact bathrooms or powder rooms, Alice Ceramica's console collections can create a more open, airy feel thanks to their lighter visual profile. Floating or modular vanity collections from Berloni Bagno and select compact designs from Baden Haus such as the 20" wide Roma Collection can also maximize space while maintaining functionality.

Can luxury bathroom vanities be customized?

Some can. Berloni Bagno is particularly well known for its modular approach, allowing designers to customize configurations, finishes, storage options, countertops, and sinks for many collections. Customization options vary by collection and manufacturer, so it's worth discussing your project's requirements before making a selection.

How do I choose the right bathroom vanity?

Start by thinking beyond style. Consider how much storage you need, how the bathroom will be used, whether the space should feel light and open or more substantial, and how the vanity will coordinate with your tile, lighting, and fixtures. The best choice is the one that supports both the design vision and the way the room functions every day. Explore Pontem Home Bathroom Vanity & Console Collections

Can I see these vanities before making a decision?

Yes. While online photos are a great starting point, seeing a vanity in person makes it much easier to compare finishes, proportions, materials, and craftsmanship.
