Traditional Bathroom Taps

Traditional Bathroom Taps include basin taps, bath taps, and mixer taps designed around classic shapes and familiar proportions. Many designs take inspiration from Victorian and Edwardian bathrooms, using rounded bodies, ceramic-style indices, and more decorative handle forms. They work well when you want the bathroom to feel established, not overly modern, and they also pair nicely with traditional radiators, panelled walls, and patterned tiles.
