Fittings, Fixtures & Finishes
When it comes to designing a traditional bathroom, these days there is no shortage of classic fixtures and fittings to choose from. For a timeless look, consider opting for a floor standing vanity unit with traditional details such as five-piece doors or Shaker features in a palette that won't date- dark grey vanities, white vanity units, light blue or greige furniture are great options to recreate this look in your bathroom. Opt for a 600 vanity unit to suit a busy family bathroom, or alternatively, if space is at a premium you might want to consider a small vanity unit or cloakroom vanity to better suit your space.
Pair your traditional vanity with your choice of classic brassware- whether that's a pair of pillar taps or a more contemporary basin mixer option, we have a wide choice of brushed brass and chrome tapware to best suit your traditional bathroom suite. Complete the look with a traditional mirror or a more modern framed mirror or bathroom cabinet for additional storage.

Walls, Tiles & Surfaces
Creating a timeless, neutral bathroom is all about choosing the right mix of paint, tiles, and wall finishes to bring warmth and classic style together. A soft, natural colour palette—think greige, warm light grey, off-whites, and taupe—sets a calm and inviting tone.
When it comes to tiles, heritage patterns inspired by Victorian and Edwardian designs bring a subtle nod to the past without overwhelming the space. Classic subway tiles never go out of style and can be arranged in eye-catching layouts like herringbone or basketweave. Choosing a matte finish adds a soft, understated texture that feels effortlessly elegant.
For the walls, traditional panelling—like wainscoting, beadboard, or full panelled walls—instantly adds character and depth. Painted in soft neutrals, these features bring a refined, classic touch while still feeling fresh and modern. If you prefer a more subtle texture, plaster walls in warm neutrals create a smooth, handcrafted look that enhances the timeless feel of the room.
