Our matte white traditional products, including vanity units and baths, are smoothly primed and ready for painting. The primed coating allows you to create your own bespoke finish with any choice of colour. Whether it be bold and dramatic or muted and neutral, the cast iron baths and wooden vanity units are perfect for those who want to incorporate a pop of colour and personality into their bathroom interior.

Decorating a traditional bathroom doesn’t mean your colour palette and style need to be dated. Here we highlight an array of elegant tones to paint your primed cast iron bath or primed traditional vanity unit.

If you want to create a striking statement, bold shades will definitely make an impact in your traditional bathroom. However, they work best against softer neutral tones such as white, cream or beige to create balance. It’s important not to clash vibrant colours together, and stick with one hero tone. Use your painted bathtub or vanity unit, as the focal point of your bathroom. A strong yellow is often used throughout traditional styles and brightens a space, as well as green tones that resemble the Victorian era.

In a space where period detail and existing character are the standout detail - such as wood beams and exposed brick - choose colours that enhance the existing hues. If your interior has a sense of warmth, balance these warm tones with cool colours like blue or slate grey so your bath or vanity unit makes a statement.

The dark beams, iron railings, and arch details of a period property work well with a neutral colour palette including classic browns and golds. Painting your traditional piece a deep shade will contrast beautifully with the natural detail and allow neutral decor to stand out.

If your interior colour palette has never been anything but white, and you don’t want to give your traditional product an extreme makeover, expand your comfort zone slightly with a subtle tint such as barely-there blue. This adds colour to your traditional bathroom but still maintains a minimal and muted approach. Our traditional primed products will transform your bathroom, not only providing luxury and style but also comfort and extreme durability. Once you have chosen your paint colour, decide on which accessories you will add to your traditional bathroom.
