Classic Character with a Contemporary Twist

There is something special about a bathroom that balances timeless detail with modern ease. This design brings that harmony to life -rooted in tradition, but very much made for today.

The standout feature is the Lefroy Brooks Classic 1900 Tubular Basin Mixer in polished nickel. Refined and well-proportioned, it brings quiet elegance to the basin. The same thoughtful design carries through to the Lefroy Brooks Classic Concealed Thermostatic Valve and Apron Shower Head, combining classic forms with reliable, everyday performance.

Another project that captures this balance beautifully is the Harrods Village bathroom in Barnes, original period marble preserved and brought into a completely contemporary scheme.

Warmth and texture come in with the Campden vanity unit by Vanity Hall in walnut. Beautifully made and practical too, it’s a focal point that adds depth and natural character to the room.

The shower is framed by the sleek View 01 screen from The Shower Lab – minimal and refined, it keeps the space feeling light and open while providing definition where needed.

To finish, the La Fayette towel warmer by Bard & Brazier in matching polished nickel adds that touch of comfort and cohesion. It’s understated but considered, echoing the tone of the whole space.

This is a bathroom with soul – a quiet blend of old and new that doesn’t try too hard, but gets everything just right.
