A Timeless Bathroom Design, Featured in KBB Magazine When it comes to luxury bathroom design, the most successful spaces are those that feel timeless, calm, and beautifully considered. This bespoke bathroom by Kallums Bathrooms, recently featured in KBB Magazine’s February edition, is a perfect example of how classic design principles can be reimagined for modern living. Designed with longevity in mind, the bathroom blends decorative detail with clean architectural lines, creating a space that feels elegant, balanced, and effortless. Designing Beyond Trends Rather than following fast-moving bathroom trends, this design focuses on materials, texture, and proportion. A botanical wall covering introduces softness and depth, adding character without overwhelming the space. This is paired with crisp white herringbone tiles, refined sanitaryware, and subtle architectural detailing – a combination that continues to be highly searched by homeowners looking for: timeless bathroom inspiration luxury bathroom ideas classic bathroom design bathroom renovation inspiration The result is a bathroom that feels as relevant today as it will for years to come. Warm Details That Elevate the Space Throughout the bathroom, brushed brass brassware and lighting add warmth and refinement. These finishes bring a sense of craftsmanship and contrast beautifully with the lighter elements of the room. Warm metallics remain a popular choice for those planning a high-end bathroom renovation, particularly when combined with neutral tiles and layered textures. Practical Luxury for Everyday Living A classic double basin offers both symmetry and everyday practicality, while the walk-in shower is seamlessly integrated into the layout to maintain openness and flow. Every detail has been carefully considered to ensure the bathroom is not only visually striking, but also comfortable and functional. Bespoke Bathroom Design Across the UK At Kallums Bathrooms, we specialise in bespoke bathroom design and supply across Surrey, London, the South East, and beyond, working with the highest quality and most trusted bathroom brands to create spaces that are designed to last.

Midimalism Rising: The Bathroom Trend That Refuses to Pick a Side 03 December 2025 Design has always had its extremes – the ultra-bare “don’t you dare put a toothbrush out” minimalists and the layered-to-the-ceiling maximalists who believe more is always more. But 2026 has other ideas. Enter midimalism: the unapologetic space between the two, where restraint meets richness and curated calm replaces both chaos and coldness. This bathroom is midimalism in its purest form. The entire room is wrapped in soft grey herringbone marble, and yes, it’s a lot of texture but it’s also incredibly controlled. The pattern brings movement and life, yet the monochrome palette keeps everything grounded. It’s visually interesting without ever tipping into noise. The vanity tells the same story. Warm timber grain, bold but clean lines, and no ornate hardware shouting for attention. It doesn’t hide the natural character of the wood — but it doesn’t let it dominate either. This is what midimalism does so well: it allows materials to speak, just not to argue. People are choosing this direction for a reason. Pure minimalism can feel sterile, especially in bathrooms where warmth and comfort actually matter. Maximalism, on the other hand, can be overwhelming in a space that’s meant to restore you, not stimulate you at 7 a.m. Midimalism offers a middle path that feels human – a balance of personality and calm. And the colours here reflect that balance beautifully: gentle greys from the marble, crisp whites from the basin, and the earthy browns of the timber. It’s not a riot of shades, but it’s not an absence of them either. It’s enough. Some designers insist midimalism is “confused,” a trend created for people who can’t commit. But the truth is the opposite. It’s a confident choice – a refusal to be boxed into extremes. It’s for homeowners who want harmony, not hard rules. In 2026, midimalism isn’t just a trend; it’s a mood. A rebellion against all-or-nothing thinking. A celebration of curated texture, controlled richness, and design that feels both warm and intentional. And in bathrooms like this, it proves one thing clearly: the middle ground can be the most compelling place of all. start your journey

The Official Beginning of French Artistry at Kallums: Welcoming MRF 17 November 2025 We are absolutely delighted to announce the official beginning of our partnership with Maîtres Robinetiers de France (MRF) – a prestigious collective of some of the most iconic and historic French brassware maisons, including Cristal & Bronze, Margot, Serdaneli, and Miroir Brot. For decades, these legendary names have been synonymous with impeccable craftsmanship, luxurious finishes, and timeless design. Rooted deeply in the traditions of French artisanal heritage, every piece they create is far more than a bathroom fitting – it is an expression of artistry and refinement. Discover the Margot Collection Margot – French Craftsmanship, Generational Expertise Since its founding in 1912 in Abbeville, France, Margot has specialised in high-quality fittings, marrying robustness and simplicity with architectural style. Margot’s manufacturing emphasises all-French expertise: solid brass construction, artisan finish selection and a finish palette of up to 28 metal choices. When you select Margot fittings, you’re choosing durability, choice and coherence across bathroom elements. Whether your style is classic, transitional or contemporary, Margot is supremely adaptable. At Kallums Bathrooms we believe with Margot you are not limited by finishes, you are empowered by them. The result? A bathroom that feels custom, grounded in highest quality manufacturing, and designed to last. Kallums Bathrooms makes specification and supply seamless. From finish sample to install schedule, our partnership with Margot brings the confidence of French craftsmen and the logistics of a UK-based supplier network together. Serdaneli – Haute Couture for the Bathroom Sculptural, tactile, unmistakably refined. That moment is where Serdaneli thrives. Based in Château-Landon, France, Serdaneli defines the union of high fashion and bathroom design: “haute couture” fittings and door hardware created for premium architectural projects. What truly sets Serdaneli apart is its materials library, think semi-precious stones, mother-of-pearl, marble, onyx and crystal. The brand invites bespoke finishes and even allows you to provide your own marble for taps and door handles. In collaboration with Kallums Bathrooms, we bring this artisan-driven aesthetic to UK interiors. Whether you are specifying a luxury hotel suite or a private home with design ambition, Serdaneli offers uniqueness that anchors character and value. From freestanding bath mixers to wall-mounted controls, each piece becomes a visual pause in the room. Kallums Bathrooms supports you through specification, finish matching, lead times and showroom access, so your vision is realised with fidelity. If luxury means detail, Serdaneli means devotion to detail and we are proud to partner them for discerning clients. Cristal & Bronze – Artisanal Mastery in Fittings & Accessories Few brands combine traditional metalsmithing, glass-and-crystal work, and opulent finish options quite like Cristal & Bronze. Founded in Paris in 1937 and now producing in Château-Landon, this French manufacture creates bathroom fittings and accessories by hand. Their portfolio reads like a design catalogue of texture and finish: brass mixers, crystal handles, obsidian accessories, patinated metals, gilding, and more. Behind each piece lies artisan technique, tactile richness and integrity. In its partner role with Kallums Bathrooms, Cristal & Bronze allows you to specify bathrooms that feel more like bespoke interiors than simply functional spaces. Think: a crystal-cut lever on a bath mixer in polished gold or a wall-mounted accessory set where each piece echoes the finish of the taps. Design-wise, you are given the freedom to layer: glass and metal, marble and brass, satin and shine. With Cristal & Bronze, the bathroom becomes curated. Kallums Bathrooms ensures your finish choice, installation context and lead time align smoothly, transforming high-end design ambition into delivered reality. Whether you are delivering a boutique hotel bathroom or an exceptional residential suite, Cristal & Bronze offers the detail-rich components that enhance the experience. In partnership, we make those components spec ready. Miroir Brot – Reflection as Luxury, Made in France Mirrors are often an afterthought in bathroom design. Miroir Brot challenges that notion entirely. Founded in 1826 by François Brot (mirror-maker to King Charles X), the brand pioneered luxury mirrors: the triptych in 1875 and the “Mirophare” illuminated mirror in 1927. Every mirror is 100% made in France, in the Paris region, using optical-grade glass (a higher-end standard) and premium brass structure. Miroir Brot positions the mirror not simply as reflection but as architectural element, lighting source, design statement. When Kallums Bathrooms specifies Miroir Brot, we are offering more than a vanity mirror. We are offering a focal point. Whether it’s a full-length triptych mirror behind a freestanding bath or a back-lit wall-mounted piece over a bespoke vanity, Miroir Brot redefines perception of space and light. Imagine the wall opposite the basin entirely mirrored, amplifying light, depth, finish. Choose a brass frame in the same finish as your brassware (Margot or Cristal & Bronze) and the cohesion becomes unmistakable. Our partnership ensures your mirror’s dimensions, lighting coordinate, finish choice and install logistics are all catered for. In a luxury bathroom project, a Miroir Brot piece is never an after-thought, it is part of the choreography of the space. Discover what craftsmanship really feels like.
