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.

2/8 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.
