Side column cabinet
A tall, narrow storage cabinet that pairs with a vanity for extra bathroom storage, built from the same solid PVC.
What it means
A side column cabinet is a slim, tall storage tower designed to stand beside a bathroom vanity. Where the vanity holds the basin and the daily-use items, the side column takes the overflow: the spare toilet rolls, the backup toiletries, the cleaning supplies that would otherwise clutter a countertop. It is tall rather than wide, so it adds a lot of storage while claiming very little floor.
At HERA, the side column is built from the same solid PVC as the vanity, not particle board or MDF with a coating. That matters in a bathroom, because a solid PVC body will not warp, swell, or peel when water sits on it or steam surrounds it. The finishes and the soft-close hardware are shared with the vanity range too, so a matched set reads as one piece of furniture rather than three separate purchases.
The name simply describes the form: a column of storage that sits to the side of the main unit. Some people call it a side cabinet, but the idea is the same, using vertical space that would otherwise sit empty.
In a Singapore home
Bathrooms in HDB flats and condos rarely have spare floor to give up, so vertical storage is where the real gains are. The HERA side column measures 356 x 268 x 700 mm, which means it stands 70cm tall and is just 36cm wide. That slim footprint lets it tuck into a corner, into the gap between the vanity and the toilet, or into the dead space next to the door, none of which is usually doing any work.
It comes in six finishes, White, Slate Grey, Milk Tea Grey, Ash Wood, Grey Oak, and Brown Walnut, and these are made to coordinate with the vanity finishes so you can build a fully matched storage set. Message us for side column prices, as it is not listed on the online store yet. You can see the full range on the vanity and storage guide, and our write-up on small bathroom vanity storage ideas explains how the vanity, a mirror cabinet, and a side column work together to keep the countertop clear.
Because it is wall-friendly and light on its footprint, the side column follows the same no-fuss approach as the rest of the HERA range. The team can advise on sizing and finishes when you visit the MacPherson showroom, where the full storage collection is on display.
