Maimes Cottage | Luxury Cottage Bathroom Design in Devon

At Maimes Cottage in Devon, Amanda Lamb has created a warm and characterful space where natural materials, soft tones and carefully selected bathroom fittings come together.

The Shepherd vanity in Deep Oak

At the centre of the bathroom sits the Shepherd vanity unit in Deep Oak, from Coalbrook's new collection of bathroom furniture.

Designed with the same attention to detail that defines our brassware, Shepherd brings a furniture-led approach to the bathroom. The Deep Oak finish introduces warmth and natural texture, working beautifully against the neutral tones and stone surfaces used throughout the space.

The Shepherd collection takes inspiration from the Shepherd's crook, reflected in its distinctive solid wood handle. Carefully considered joinery details and natural timber give the range a sense of craftsmanship, while its clean proportions allow it to work across both traditional and contemporary bathroom interiors.

In Maimes Cottage, the Deep Oak finish is particularly suited to the character of the property. The rich timber adds depth to the room and creates a natural connection between the bathroom furniture and the wider cottage aesthetic.

Complementing the Deep Oak vanity is the Zurich range in Brushed Brass.

The Zurich range brings clean, contemporary lines to the space, while the Brushed Brass finish adds warmth and a subtle metallic contrast.

Throughout the bathroom, the brassware works alongside the oak furniture and stone surfaces rather than competing with them. This combination of brushed brass bathroom fittings and natural wood bathroom furniture is an effective way to create a warm bathroom.

Creating a characterful cottage bathroom

The Maimes Cottage bathroom is a great example of how modern bathroom furniture and brassware can work within a period or cottage property.

Rather than relying solely on traditional bathroom fittings, the space combines contemporary design with natural and tactile materials. 

For anyone searching for cottage bathroom ideas, period property bathroom inspiration or ways to introduce modern fittings into an older home, combining natural wood, stone and warm metallic finishes can create a bathroom that feels both timeless and current.

The key is allowing each material to complement the next. In this space, the oak, marble and brushed brass create a layered palette without making the bathroom feel overly busy.
