A traditional bathroom can be practical when the spaces around its details are considered. This Westhill project combines a freestanding bath, high-level toilet cistern and traditional radiator with white metro tiles, dark painted walls and wood-effect flooring.
We check the cleaning reach around the bath, radiator and exposed fittings. Draw the rear gap as well as the space in front, because decorative feet can make the corners harder to reach. It helps to consider where you can stand or kneel to wipe each area, particularly if there is a narrow space against a wall. Leaving that working space gives the period fittings room to be looked after as well as seen.
