For a look that never goes out of style, choose a classic design for your bathroom. Traditional styles are elegant and timeless, plus they can work in small or large bathrooms of any shape.<\/p>\n

Do you think that the classic style is outdated? You can opt for conventional doesn\u2019t have to mean looking to the past. You can update your favorite pieces, such as a vintage mirror or pedestal table, with fresh and modern fixtures such as pillar-style taps or grey tiled walls.<\/p>\n

Choose one statement piece, such as a striking mirror or free-standing bath and make this the focal point of your classic bathroom. Keeping all to one color scheme, such as all white, will give center-stage to your chosen piece and feel less over-powering \u2013 which is great for a smaller space.<\/p>\n

Classic bathroom design doesn\u2019t necessarily need a huge sweeping room to be successful. Cleverly chosen fixtures, well-placed mirrors, and the right individual pieces will make the most of a small bathroom.
\nIf you aren\u2019t looking to completely refit your bathroom, there are small updates you can make that will give your current design a new lease on life. Simply adding some patterned wallpaper, or pretty soft furnishings, to your bathroom will completely overhaul the look and feel.<\/p>\n

How can you have a Modern Classic Bathroom?<\/h3>\n

Have a focal point<\/h6>\n

Consider the first thing you see when you enter the room; it might be the bath, but you don\u2019t want it to be a loo. Here, a French-style console basin with a\u00a0decorative mirror\u00a0above it has enough substance to draw the eye, yet still feels delicate and elegant.<\/p>\n

Small Pleasures<\/h6>\n

A vast bathroom is not a prerequisite to being successful with the classic style. Here, well-chosen fittings make the most of a\u00a0compact space. A pair of wall lights makes a real feature of the vanity area, providing a far more flattering light than a standard overhead option.<\/p>\n

Mirror Mirror on the wall<\/h6>\n

The mirror is a fantastic material to use in the bathroom; it is splashproof and easy to clean, and its reflective qualities improve the sense of space and light.<\/p>\n

Floor Show<\/h6>\n

You don\u2019t necessarily need the vast, sweeping space afforded by the\u00a0Galassia\u00a0bathroom shown here. Its beauty is in the sharpness of the individual pieces with that gorgeous dark herringbone floor as a foil. Engineered wood flooring will be fine in any bathroom where splashes are mopped up immediately but, if in doubt, opt for similar styles in high-end\u00a0vinyl or porcelain\u00a0tile.<\/p>\n

Dark & Handsome<\/h6>\n

Working in the classic style doesn\u2019t mean you have to be a slave to the past. Bringing together traditional elements in a new way will create a character but offer all the functionality of a\u00a0modern bathroom. The play on classic black and white\u00a0tiles\u00a0here, used as panels and teamed with brass fittings, has something of the gentleman\u2019s club feel about it.<\/p>\n

Bath Central<\/h6>\n

Freestanding and roll-top baths are designed to take center stage. If you want to combine with a shower, opt for traditional style fixed head shower and fit a circular rail. This\u00a0all-white\u00a0scheme allows the classic shapes to really shine.<\/p>\n

Just Add Pattern<\/h6>\n

A complete refit can be expensive but you can transform a bathroom with standard fittings by simply adding pattern. Most\u00a0wallpapers\u00a0can withstand the moisture if the room is properly-ventilated, but avoid using paper directly behind very wet areas such as baths or\u00a0basins, or cover with a perspex sheet to create a splashback.<\/p>\n

Stow Away<\/h6>\n

Built-in furniture is a boon in any room but here, a decent run of painted cabinetry hides a multitude of lotions and potions and provides a generous vanity area. Shutters are an ideal window treatment, adding to the style and providing instant privacy.<\/p>\n

Hot Favourite<\/h6>\n

Where space allows, architectural features such as a\u00a0fireplace\u00a0are great for adding character, plus, of course, the promise of bathing by firelight. The pewter finish of this bath tones with the fireplace and is set off beautifully by the warm tones of the\u00a0wooden floor, the blind and the caramel colored tiles.<\/p>\n
