The owners of this bathroom achieved a classic look by buying a traditional-style bath online. White-painted tongue-and-groove panelling on the walls adds to the laid-back country theme.

Towel rail
A tall chrome heated towel rail was tucked around the corner so it doesn't dominate the room. The homeowner bought the console table at an auction.

The period-style roll-top bath takes pride of place in this bathroom. Vinyl flooring is warm underfoot and perfect for a family bathroom.

Tap
To add to the traditional feel, the owner went for a period-style bath and shower/bath mixer tap. Letters spell out 'relax' on the shelf that runs around the top of the panelling.

Before the makeover
The new bathroom is barely recognisable from how it used to look, with dated floral wallpaper and peach wall tiles.
