Few bathrooms could carry this sense of scale and history quite so naturally. At St Giles House in Dorset, timeworn panelling, original timber floors and gilt-framed paintings create a richly layered backdrop for Drummonds’ Usk cast iron bath, its bespoke copper exterior developing a characterful patina. Alongside, the freestanding Spittal shower has an architectural presence that suits the generous proportions of the room, while the Single Lowther vanity in Black Marquina marble introduces a darker counterpoint. Antique brass fittings draw the elements together, creating a bathroom that feels entirely at home within its centuries-old surroundings.
