Everyone has their own definition of what a luxurious bathroom may look like. Many feel a modern bathroom with new technology is the best of the best. Whilst others look towards classic designs that are timeless and carry a premium quality over the current trend. The experts at Old Fashioned Bathrooms are going to let you in on their top 5 luxurious traditional-style bathroom brands and the exclusive products they have to offer.
Victoria + Albert
Luxury Baths
Known for its luxury baths, Victoria + Albert competes at the top for providing some of the most beautiful bathroom products on the market. With luxury baths that take on sculptural forms, Victoria + Albert utilises volcanic limestone™ to provide customers with unmatched quality. Volcanic Limestone™ is formed when the elemental forces associated with liquid magma act upon surrounding soft, chalky limestone. The combination creates a tough and incredibly durable material that is blended with high-quality resin that creates QUARRYCAST™ – a stone composite that means you can bathe in some of the most durable and premium tubs on the market.
Thomas Crapper
Luxury Toilets
Starting in 1861, Thomas Crapper is an established name among interior designers and luxury bathroom enthusiasts. Holding several royal warrants, Thomas Crapper has proven time after time that they’re a bathroom brand to rival the best. Being a historically British brand, they manufacture all of their products in the UK. Not only are their cast iron cisterns premium quality, the customisation options mean each cistern can be completely unique to you and your bathroom. Also, their innovative technology means you can have some truly unique experiences such as their ‘beer pull’ cistern flush (as pictured below). Thomas Crappers are the leader when it comes to toilets and basins that are exact replicas of traditional Victorian and Edwardian styles.
Kerasan

Foresters
Luxury Furniture
Luxury products can be based on the quality and how a brand markets itself. One undeniable factor in quality is the years of craftsmanship that goes into bespoke, hand-crafted products. This is why the last on our list is the work of our very own. The Foresters are a collective of expert cabinet makers and craftsman, situated in the heart of Suffolk. The Foresters design and create bespoke wooden toilet seats, basin units, and a variety of wooden bathroom furniture from sustainably sourced timber. Nothing screams luxury than having a toilet seat, cabinet, or mirror frame hand carved and designed to fit perfectly in your bathroom. Each piece is unique to the owner which makes their work truly special. This is ideal as a feature piece in contemporary bathrooms or to match the theming of a traditional bathroom, like that of a listed property.
