Traditional Bathrooms
Rooted in classic style. Refined for modern living.
Traditional Bathrooms Designed in Cornwall
Discover the elegant charm of traditional bathroom design, where refined silhouettes, exquisite craftsmanship, and thoughtfully chosen materials come together to create a space that feels both timeless and entirely your own.
We honour the heritage of classic design while thoughtfully adapting each detail to suit the way you live. From Victorian grandeur to Edwardian refinement, or the quiet charm of a countryside retreat, each space is designed with intention and individuality.
As a design-led studio, we help guide you through every stage, from the first sketch to the final finish, offering expert design, product sourcing, and access to our network of highly trusted installers who share our exacting standards.
The Elegance of Traditional Bathroom Design
True traditional design lies in proportion, craftsmanship, and the considered use of detail. We design bathrooms that honour the proportions, materials and character of period architecture, while bringing a sense of calm and refinement to the everyday rituals.
Every detail is chosen with care, from the curve of a tap to the warmth of timber, blending time-honoured design principles with modern functionality. We go beyond style to ensure your bathroom feels not only elegant, but completely at home within your space, your lifestyle, and the heritage it belongs to.
Freestanding roll-top or slipper baths with cast-iron feet as a classic focal point.
Ceramic or marble topped vanity units with traditionally turned legs or panelled cabinetry.
Decorative taps and exposed shower valves in polished nickel or brushed brass.
High or low level cistern toilets with traditional chain pulls and ceramic lever handles.
Period inspired tiling, such as black and white checkerboard floors, herringbone layouts, or dado-height wall panelling.
Layered lighting and warm materials: antique-style sconces, framed mirrors, and natural wood tones.
Modern luxuries discreetly integrated: underfloor heating, concealed storage or dual-fuel towel rails.
In a traditional bathroom, the magic lies in the detail. A fluted glass shade, the soft gleam of aged brass, or the gentle curve of a slipper bath, each element has a voice. These are choices of expression, giving a room its rhythm, its warmth, and its sense of permanence.
We believe in character. That means we source authentic finishes and design architectural features that feel rooted in tradition, yet entirely in tune with your home. Every piece we select, is chosen to speak your language of luxury, whether that’s light and romantic, rich and layered, or somewhere in between.
The Art of Timeless Detail
What sets a traditional bathroom apart is not just how it looks, but how it endures and how it evolves. We curate from a palette of materials that grow more beautiful over time: polished marbles, solid timbers, brushed and unlacquered metals, and hand-glazed ceramics.
We work with long-established heritage brands who share our values of excellence, longevity, and timeless beauty. Every bathroom is designed bespoke to your home, with fittings that honour the space, tiling that complements its proportions, and finishes chosen not to follow trends, but to grow more beautiful with time. These are spaces made to be lived in, loved, and last a lifetime.

Designing Traditional Bathrooms Across Cornwall & West Devon
Steeped in architectural charm, Cornwall and West Devon are home to properties full of character, from Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces to coastal cottages and converted stone barns. These homes often feature distinctive architectural details: exposed beams, sloped ceilings, narrow proportions or uneven floors.
We take the time to understand your property’s story, designing every element to feel like a natural continuation of your space. Preserving the past, while gently introducing modern comfort, details are shaped with sensitivity to structure and an eye for quiet beauty.
From our Wadebridge showroom and design studio, our projects reach across Cornwall and West Devon, in everything from listed buildings to rural farmhouses and coastal retreats. Our deep understanding of local architecture allows us to create bathrooms that feel truly in tune with their surroundings.
