Creating a traditional cloakroom bathroom

A cloakroom bathroom is a small downstairs bathroom space that may also be used for coat and jacket storage, and can be incredibly practical. Designing this in a traditional style though can be a challenge. So what are the important considerations when creating a traditional cloakroom bathroom? And how can you be sure to achieve the right results?

What are the considerations when creating a traditional cloakroom bathroom?

There are a number of different factors to consider when it comes to creating a traditional cloakroom bathroom. These include:

  • Choosing the right finishes and materials
  • Optimising space
  • Choosing the right colour palette

Choosing the right finishes and materials for a traditional cloakroom bathroom 

There are a number of different finishes and material choices available when creating a traditional cloakroom bathroom and these can have a big impact on the visuals and aesthetic design of the space. From cabinet handles to the taps and even the fixtures themselves, you should choose a style and design that reflects the traditional theme you are creating. This can include opting for a traditional style, porcelain, pedestal sink with copper taps or ornate faucets, or using wooden effect cabinets for storage.

Optimising space in a traditional cloakroom bathroom 

Space optimisation is vital in a cloakroom bathroom, because space is often very limited. Choosing compact fixtures like compact sinks and toilets can allow you to save space without compromising on functionality. You could also consider using combined storage including vanity sink units in a traditional style. This will add storage to your bathroom, without taking up unnecessary space.

Choosing the colour palette for a traditional cloakroom bathroom 

Finally, you should also take into account the colour palette. This can reflect the traditional style you are looking to create for your cloakroom bathroom and so should use more traditional colour schemes, including deep greens or natural colours, for the best possible results.
