Classic Character with a Contemporary Twist

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. 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. start your journey

The Future of Luxury: Smart Bathrooms

Luxury Meets Technology: The Future of Smart Bathrooms 26 Feb 2025 At Kallums Bathrooms, we specialise in creating luxurious, high-end bathrooms that seamlessly blend elegance with state-of-the-art technology. One of the most exciting advancements in bathroom design is the rise of smart bathrooms, which combine convenience, efficiency, and sophistication to elevate your daily routine. Shower Smarter: The Future of Your Daily Routine A smart shower is an advanced shower system that integrates technology to enhance convenience, comfort, and efficiency. It allows you to control various aspects of your shower experience using features like voice commands, smartphone apps, or touchscreens. Here are some key features of a smart shower: Personalized Settings: Smart showers can remember your preferred temperature, water pressure, and lighting. This allows for a tailored experience every time you shower without the need to manually adjust settings. Voice and App Control: You can control your shower using voice commands or through a smartphone app, making it easy to adjust settings without needing to touch anything. Temperature Control: Many smart showers offer precise control over the water temperature, often with digital displays that show the exact degree, ensuring a comfortable experience from the moment you step in. Water Flow and Pressure Controls: Smart showers can adjust the water pressure for a gentle rain-like experience or a more powerful, invigorating flow. Some even offer custom modes like pulse or mist, and the system can remember these preferences for future use. Scheduled Showers: You can program your shower to start at a specific time, so it’s ready for you when you wake up or come home. This feature is particularly useful for busy mornings or when you want to save time. Overall, a smart shower offers a more convenient, efficient, and enjoyable shower experience, adding a touch of modern luxury to your bathroom. Whether you’re in Richmond, Putney, Barnes, or Guildford, Kallums Bathrooms brings personalized smart bathroom solutions directly to your home. The Future of Luxury Elevate your home with a Smart Toilet We are proud suppliers of TOTO, a leading brand in smart toilets. A smart toilet is a high-tech toilet equipped with advanced features designed to enhance convenience, hygiene, and comfort. These toilets go beyond the basic functionality of traditional toilets and integrate innovative technology to create a more luxurious and efficient bathroom experience. Some of the most common features of a smart toilet include: TOTO toilets feature advanced technology such as: Heated Seat: A warm toilet seat that provides comfort, especially during colder months. Self-Cleaning Nozzle: Many smart toilets feature a self-cleaning mechanism for the bidet nozzle, ensuring hygiene after each use. The nozzle often has a coating to resist dirt and bacteria. Bidet Functionality: Smart toilets typically have integrated bidet functions, which include features such as adjustable water pressure, temperature, and nozzle positioning for cleaning after use. PREMIST Technology: Some models have a PREMIST function, which sprays a fine mist on the toilet bowl before use, helping prevent waste from sticking and keeping the bowl cleaner for longer. Overall, smart toilets bring modern technology into the bathroom, transforming an everyday necessity into a more comfortable, hygienic, and efficient experience. Step into the Future with a Floating Bathtub A floating bathtub is a modern and luxurious type of bathtub that gives the illusion of “floating” above the floor. This design is often sleek, minimalist, and visually striking, with a unique structure that is both functional and aesthetically appealing. Our floating bathtubs are not only visually striking but also expertly ergonomically designed to support your body’s natural S-curve. This thoughtful design ensures that your body remains comfortable from neck to lumbar vertebrae, providing a relaxing and supportive bathing experience. The elegant floating design adds a touch of modern luxury to your bathroom, while the ergonomically shaped handles make it easy to get in and out of the bath with ease.

These tubs are not only visually striking but also provide a relaxing, spa-like experience, offering a perfect spot to unwind after a long day. Classic Fixtures and Fittings: Traditional bathrooms are characterized by crosshead taps, ceramic handles, and brass or chrome finishes. These detailed fixtures add a vintage charm, emphasizing craftsmanship and bringing timeless elegance to the space. Pedestal Sinks: Pedestal sinks or wall-mounted basins with curved designs are often found in traditional bathrooms. These sinks are not only functional but also enhance the classic aesthetic, making them a staple in creating a stylish and inviting atmosphere. Brass and Chrome Fittings: Brass, nickel, and chrome finishes are used for faucets, showerheads, and towel rails. Whether polished or antique, these metals bring sophistication and durability, perfect for a bathroom that will stand the test of time. Soft, Neutral Color Palette: Traditional bathrooms typically embrace soft, neutral tones like whites, creams, soft greys, and pastels. These colors promote a serene, calming atmosphere while allowing the beauty of the design elements to shine.

6 Benefits to Remodelling Multiple Bathrooms at the Same Time

6 Benefits to Remodelling Multiple Bathrooms at the Same Time 02 April 2025 At Kallums Bathrooms, we specialise in luxury bathroom designs that elevate homes across Surrey and London. If you’re considering a bathroom renovation, you may be debating whether to remodel one bathroom at a time or take on multiple at once. While a full-scale renovation may seem like a big task, it offers several advantages that make it a more intelligent, and efficient investment. Cohesive Design Aesthetic One of the top benefits of remodelling multiple bathrooms is achieving a cohesive design aesthetic. Whether you envision a spa-like retreat or a timeless, classic style, renovating all your bathrooms at once ensures a unified, high-end look that flows seamlessly throughout your home. Faster Project Completion Renovating all bathrooms simultaneously allows for faster completion. Instead of enduring months of construction, working on multiple spaces at once streamlines the process, reduces disruptions, and lets you enjoy your newly transformed spaces much sooner. This is ideal for busy Surrey, Guildford, and London homeowners who want a quick, elegant upgrade. Cost & Material Efficiency A large-scale renovation can help reduce costs and waste. By bulk purchasing tiles, fixtures, and fittings, you can take advantage of savings while ensuring everything is perfectly coordinated. It’s also an excellent opportunity to install modern, energy-efficient technology—like water-saving taps and smart showers—across every bathroom, enhancing your home’s sustainability. Personalisation with Consistency Remodelling multiple bathrooms doesn’t mean sacrificing individuality. Each bathroom can be designed to serve its unique purpose—whether it’s a family-friendly ensuite, a guest powder room, or a spa-inspired master bathroom—while maintaining a consistent, luxury feel. Our expert team at Kallums Bathrooms will ensure every space is designed to reflect your style and needs while maintaining an elegant harmony throughout your home. Our Design & Installation Process 1.

West London Bathroom Refurbishment

West London Bathroom Refurbishment Full Design & Supply by Kallums Bathrooms Our expert designers at Kallums Bathrooms recently completed a stunning luxury refurbishment in West London, delivering four beautifully coordinated yet individual bathrooms: a downstairs cloakroom, master en suite, family bathroom, and shower room. The brief was clear from the outset. Our clients were drawn to the timeless elegance of natural brushed brass brassware and wanted this finish to flow consistently throughout the home, while still allowing each bathroom to express its own personality. Through thoughtful design, material selection, and detailed planning, we created four refined spaces that feel cohesive, practical, and distinctly luxurious. Downstairs Cloakroom Compact yet impactful, the downstairs cloakroom was designed to make a strong first impression. Vertical timber slatted panelling adds architectural interest and warmth, while the soft green tones introduce depth without overwhelming the space. A sculptural countertop basin is paired with brushed brass wall-mounted taps, instantly elevating the room and reinforcing the luxury feel seen throughout the home. Integrated lighting around the mirror enhances both ambience and usability, ensuring this small space feels considered, stylish, and inviting. This cloakroom perfectly demonstrates how high-quality finishes and strong design choices can transform even the most compact bathroom. Master En Suite The master en suite was the centrepiece of the project and received the most detailed design attention. The goal was to create a calm, spa-like retreat that felt indulgent yet highly functional for everyday use. Large-format marble-effect porcelain tiles bring a sense of scale and luxury, while the black-framed shower screen introduces a contemporary edge. Brushed brass brassware is used consistently across the space, from the rainfall shower and hand shower to the basin taps and controls, tying the room together and adding warmth against the neutral backdrop. A bespoke vanity unit with clean-lined drawers provides generous storage while maintaining a streamlined aesthetic. Backlit mirrors and recessed lighting were carefully planned to enhance the overall atmosphere, offering soft, flattering illumination that adapts seamlessly from morning routines to evening relaxation. The result is a beautifully balanced en suite bathroom that feels timeless, elegant, and effortlessly luxurious – a true private sanctuary within the home. Family Bathroom Designed with both style and practicality in mind, the family bathroom needed to cater to daily use while still reflecting the overall design vision of the house. Deep green wall tiles introduce colour and texture, creating a rich backdrop for the brushed brass fixtures used throughout the space. A freestanding bath becomes the focal point, offering a relaxing bathing experience, while cleverly integrated storage ensures the room remains clutter-free. The combination of durable materials, thoughtful lighting, and refined finishes makes this a family bathroom that works hard without compromising on aesthetics. The Shower Room The shower room completes the project with a clean, contemporary feel. Soft green tiles are used once again to maintain visual continuity, while frameless glass and streamlined fittings keep the space feeling light and open. A walk-in shower with brushed brass controls delivers both style and performance, and discreet niches provide practical storage without disrupting the clean lines of the design. This room is a perfect example of how thoughtful detailing can elevate a functional space into something special. A Cohesive Luxury Bathroom Design This West London project showcases our ability to deliver fully coordinated multi-bathroom refurbishments, balancing consistency with individuality. By using brushed brass as a unifying element and tailoring layouts, materials, and lighting to each space, we created four bathrooms that feel connected yet unique. At Kallums Bathrooms, we specialise in luxury bathroom design and supply, guiding our clients from concept through to completion. If you are planning a bathroom renovation in London or the surrounding areas, our experienced design team would be delighted to help bring your vision to life. start your journey
