There’s something utterly compelling about a traditional bathroom, which is why this style remains enduringly popular amongst homeowners. If you’re still undecided on the style of your bathroom, there are many good reasons why traditional could be the way to go in 2020.

Traditional = Timeless, meaning your bathroom won’t go out of fashion any time soon

It’s a great way to add vintage decor to a modern property
Ornate and intricate details demonstrate great craftsmanship
It produces a luxurious look and feel that you simply don’t get with modern designs

To help you create the perfect vintage-inspired retreat, we’ve come up with the following 5 traditional bathroom ideas for 2020.

1. Save space with this classic combination

A lack of space is a real issue for many of us. So, whether you’re looking to create a classic cloakroom or a beautiful vintage bathroom, this slimline combination unit from the Dulwich collection may be just the job.

Featuring a gorgeous stone ivory finish (also available in grey and white), the units are just 230mm in depth and can be arranged with the toilet to the left or right for complete flexibility. They come with beautiful classic touches, like tongue and groove detailing and a traditional handle.

2. Cometh the hour, cometh the shower

The history of bathroom showers stretches back further than you'd think. And, whilst technology has come on in leaps and bounds, you can still choose something that fits perfectly with your traditional décor.

The Dulwich riser shower system brings you the very best in ultra-modern, safe and reliable thermostatic showering, yet with a classical look and feel, right down to the gorgeous handle valves made from solid brass.

3. Pretty period patchwork

There's an old saying: "Traditional tiles bring plenty of smiles."

OK...I made that up myself, but the sentiment is 100% accurate. Feature flooring using Victorian style patchwork tiles are gaining popularity in contemporary and traditional bathrooms alike.

These gorgeous black and white glazed porcelain tiles are the perfect choice for any vintage-inspired setting, producing a tough, hardwearing floor that’ll certainly stand out.

4. A glittering centrepiece

Where would your traditional bathroom be without a gorgeous roll top bath at the very heart of things? Well, why not add an extra special finishing touch with the Dulwich freestanding tub, which comes complete with sparkling gold claw feet.

There is also space for a deck mounted bath shower mixer tap and we’d recommend the matching Dulwich bath shower mixer tap for that luxurious vintage look.

5. An enclosure with a touch of elegance

Whilst self-contained shower cubicles may be a relatively recent invention, this doesn’t mean that you should avoid installing one in your traditional bathroom. The Winchester traditional rectangular shower enclosure from The Bath Co. mixes classic style with modern convenience, for a look that blends seamlessly with the rest of your room.

A vintage style stainless steel handle and matching top cap finials add elegant touches to this enclosure, whilst the sliding door with magnetic closing provides easy access.
