Floating cabinets can open floor sightlines and simplify cleaning, with wall blocking planned before install.

Drawer layouts must clear traps and shutoffs. Align drain and supply before the cabinet is ordered.
Mirror, lighting, clearances
Center mirrors and task lighting on basins. Protect door, toilet, and shower or tub clearances around the cabinet.
