Sticking with the classics

Standing the test of time

Traditional design takes inspiration from specific historical eras, but in fact, the design style doesn’t have to be era specific.

Traditional materials, textures and products

Creating a throwback moment

This look is emulated by pairing the design of the bathroom with the heritage attached to the home. While it’s certainly not a trend for design purists, it’s an opportunity to lean in and commit to your home’s original character.

Finishes

Beauty is in the detail here, with intricacy in tiles that reflect the age of the home.

Materials

Stick to materials with a historic pedigree, like timbers, porcelain or stone.

Textures

Intricate chrome detailing in tapware and warm timber create a lush experience that reflects bygone eras.

Revelling in The Past

These are just some of the ways you can build a traditional bathroom.

Timeless but modern

Sticking firmly with the classics doesn’t mean you have less fun. The tiny subway tiles create a striking sense of space, while the warmth of the wood helps to soften black accessories.

Timeless but modern

Dreaming in Terrazzo

Terrazzo is gorgeous anywhere – and perfectly balances the bright gold and soft grey to truly become a feature of the space.

Mod(ern) century design

Hexagonal tiles create a rich tapestry of warmth where one colour alone wouldn’t. The white countertop and light brown vanity finish is a restrained take on the traditional style.

Today’s throwback moment

The intricate textures here mean you’ll never be short of details to notice, from the dark grout in the subway tile to the strong grain in vanity surfaces. Short and sweet!
