Traditional washstands are a must have in a traditional style bathroom. Adding a traditional washstand to your bathroom will instantly make your space look and feel more classy and luxurious.

Are Traditional Washstands Timeless?

A traditional washstand is one of the few bathroom designs that is never out of style. This is because the traditional washstand design has been around for hundreds of years. To be exact, washstands became popular in the 18th century, however back then it was often called a basin stand. In their heyday, a washstand was simply another piece of furniture, usually made from mahogany or oak, that would hold a wash bowl or jug for people to wash their hands and face.

These days, a traditional washstand looks a little different. Instead of being a solid piece of furniture, a washstand of today typically features a chrome frame that holds the basin in place against the wall. The washstand will also be accompanied by some traditional style taps to complete this timeless look. Adding a traditional washstand can really transform the look of your bathroom, and these are some of our favourites for a traditional style bathroom.
