Traditional design is full of character and charm, exuding elegance and sophistication. Bringing this design style into the modern home creates a bathroom interior to be proud of, where opulent, timeless design meets modern relaxation rituals.
Get started on creating your classical sanctuary with these inspirational modern traditional bathroom design ideas, and start planning your dream escape.
Subtle glamour
Creating a modern traditional design means blending traditional features with modern designs. This bathroom design uses elegant classical elements alongside modern trends, such as wall panelling and spa-like décor, to achieve a glamorous outcome.
To achieve a luxurious traditional aesthetic, a great place to start is with a freestanding bath. This type of bath screams classical relaxation with its opulent connotations and freestanding elegance. Elevate your freestanding bath with our range of bath feet designs, each inspired by decorative designs of the past. Complete the set-up with a traditional bath shower mixer, featuring two classical crosshead tap handles and a statement hand shower.
Bringing the modern and the traditional styles together is our Chalfont furniture unit. Featuring a contemporary design with classical simplicity, Chalfont furniture is perfect for any modern traditional bathroom design. Its deep drawer is ideal for storing your bathroom essentials and keeping the space looking refined.
Classical beauty
Traditional design lends itself beautifully to quiet luxury, bringing with it an air of sophistication and simplicity, making it ideal for a relaxing bathroom setting. Edwardian and Victorian design styles include minimal decorative flourishes, instead using clean lines and subtle touches.
Bring through Edwardian luxury with a classically designed basin featuring a full pedestal, complete with a basin tap in a conventional Chrome finish. Combined with a close-coupled toilet, these ceramic pieces achieve a truly traditional aesthetic. Following the same style, our traditional towel warmers are inspired by historical design, with a simple display of pipework and a minimalist yet eye-catching design.
Modern luxury meets traditional aesthetics
The shower has become a statement piece in modern bathrooms, aiding in wellness rituals and relaxation. Yet, the shower is a much more contemporary feature of the bathroom. Our Classique showering collection brings the two together and allows you to achieve a beautiful, authentic traditional design without compromising on modern luxuries.
Our Classique showering collection perfectly encapsulates the elegance of traditional eras of design, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into any traditional bathroom space. Its delicately rounded frame draws inspiration from early elevator shaft design, creating a perfect connection between historical styles and more contemporary eras.
Made from toughened safety glass and treated with our signature protective coating, the Classique collection presents a range of showering glass that is high-quality, resistant to the build-up of limescale and soap residue, and easy to clean. The Classique collection provides a wide selection of design options, configurations and sizes, making it perfect for any traditional bathroom size or layout.
