By applying country style to a bathroom, you can quickly warm up cold tile floors and easy-clean counters while adding efficiency and comfort to the bath.

Traditional style turns an ordinary bath into a sanctuary fit for royalty. Whether it's a tiny first-floor powder room or an expansive master bath, a room dressed in tradition possesses an air of graciousness, elegance, and timelessness. This ambience can be reflected in the shape of a faucet handle or the way a drapery graces a window. Inspired by European opulence of the 18th century, traditional style is known for gilded finishes and floral fabrics, as well as enduring accents such as porcelain, gold, and silver. Uncluttered yet sumptuous, it is a statement of luxury, transforming a plain bath into a room from an earlier time.
