INTERIOR DESIGN GUIDE TO TRADITIONAL BATHROOMS-ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

Traditional doesn’t have to mean dated, in fact quite the opposite! Think free-standing roll-top bathtubs, high-level toilets, and elegant taps that will be a composite of the perfect luxurious bathroom where you and guests can switch off and unwind. Temza Design Studio love exploring the topic of traditional interior design, where we explore our favourite suppliers and incorporated it to our Clifton Hill project.

If this sounds like your ideal scenario, our interior design team have put together three of our favourite brands that bring mixture of elegance, exclusivity and luxuriousness to the British bathroom market.

If you are aiming for a super decadent feel to your bathroom then Catchpole and Rye are an ideal option. They incorporate traditional British manufacturing with a modern outlook on sanitary-ware. They create handmade bespoke pieces that truly stand the test of time.

With a range of collections on offer, they work with high-quality and long-lasting materials to create designer finishes using Chrome, Silver and brushed nickel, polished and aged brass and aged copper. Catchpole and Rye will even incorporate a logo into some pieces making the perfect finishing touch to your bespoke bathroom.

Lefroy Brooks take a historical approach to their range of classical sanitaryware, with an emphasis on designs through the ages. This 1900 classic range of bathroom ware incorporates Edwardian style brassware with elegant fixtures to bring a true feeling of classical British bathrooms to your home.

Lefroy Brooks works with brassware and chinaware to deliver pieces that can be associated with a specific time in history. From Victorian bathrooms to the beginning of a new millennium; Lefroy Brooks bring the term ‘classical’ to life.

Whatever the vision, this brand can bring it to fruition and incorporate their timeless pieces in almost any bathroom, regardless of style or size!

Last but not least is Drummonds, the company combining traditional architectural antiques with a modern twist, creating authentic feature pieces. Founded back in 1988, Drummond saw a real gap in the market for high-quality, beautiful bathroom pieces. Thus Drummonds was born.

It has become one of the best architectural antique dealers of bathroom ware in the UK with shipments going as far as Dubai. Drummonds has grown from strength to strength, bringing beautiful pieces to the market that rival other contenders in quality.

If you are on the hunt for a very specific piece, then Drummonds is the one for you! Their hands on approach is in every aspect of the design, and each piece is completely bespoke. The investment is well worth it here, with handmade beautiful goods that will last for years and make incredible features in any bathroom.

1. Combining old and new is the easiest and affordable way of switching up your bathroom for a more traditional feel.
2. Choosing one or more focal points for your bathroom will make the overall effect classical with minimal effort. Perhaps a freestanding bath with a shower ring, or a pedestal basin!
3. If you’re struggling for room, focus on one area, minimalizing and swapping in some classic pieces for your desired look. Find a corner or wall and work out what you can incorporate.
