Neo classic charm

A celebration of individual character

Merging modern design elements with the personality of traditional features, Neo Classic is a playful blend of past and present.

Neo Classic materials, textures and products

Balancing drama with function

This look is achieved by carefully balancing modern shapes with traditional elements to create a cohesive space. Consider how the products will complement each other.

Brass gold

Porcelain

Metallic & black textures

Textures

Embrace the clash of different textures.

Evoking bygone eras

These are just some of the ways you can bring a traditional bathroom into 2020.

Reviving the classics

Neo-classic design is perfectly summed up with the playful nature of these finshes. Brushed chrome takes a back seat to the beautiful pink fishscale tiles, while the deep wood grounds the theme.

Reviving the classics

18th Century elegance

Penny round tiles have a tendency to go unnoticed, but not here. Instead, the many shades of blue are warm and inviting, particularly alongside chrome and soothing grey.

18th Century elegance

Opulent materials

This story is all about those bright tiles, and why shouldn’t it be? As a clear feature of the space, it’s fun and playful. The brushed gold effect rounds it off nicely.

Opulent materials

Melding modernity & tradition

Complex herringbone tiles are dark and moody here, capturing your eye. Cleverly paired with a darker marble dash, the softer, matte chrome creates a welcoming sense of tradition.
