TOUCHED BY TIME
Create an instant vintage look with aged brass fittings. The finish replicates patina that’s built up over years and will add natural warmth to the coolest of bathrooms. If you want the aged effect to stay arrested in time, go for a lacquered finish. Here, aged brassware stands out beautifully against a clean white backdrop. Notice the walls have a shady tinge – this works particularly well in country cottages, as it is softer than brilliant white.
ON A ROLL
‘To achieve a real sense of grandeur, products should be on the larger side. It’s your opportunity to show off, so splash out on a classic cast-iron bath – it’s the most iconic feature of a traditional bathroom,’ says Yousef Mansuri, head of interior design at CP Hart. Yousef recommends positioning the bath in the centre of your bathroom, but if the layout doesn’t comply, try crowning the bath with a statement mirror or chandelier above.
VICTORIAN VALUES
This collection by Burlington echoes the prettiness of antique wrought iron but, made from aluminium, it’s far more practical. ‘Go for a simple monochrome scheme to ensure ornate fittings remain timeless,’ says Faye Froy, marketing manager at Burlington. ‘You can also make it more contemporary by combining with dark walls, as in the bathroom pictured.’
