Classic-style bathroom: how to design it with the Artceram Civitas and Hermitage collections

A classic-style bathroom doesn't mean an outdated bathroom. Traditional-inspired shapes, combined with quality ceramics and modern finishes, create an elegant space that won't go out of style after a few years. The Italian Civitas and Hermitage collections by Artceram are designed exactly for this type of project.

What defines a classic bathroom?

• Rounded shapes and crafted details on the washbasin, toilet, and bidet.
• Column-mounted, floor-standing, or console-mounted washbasin, instead of modern furniture.
• Freestanding bathtub with feet, as a centerpiece.
• Warm metals for faucets and accessories: brass, bronze, or brushed gold.

The Civitas Collection

Civitas reinterprets classic sanitary ware with balanced lines, suitable for both a renovated apartment and a home with character.

• Civitas Washbasin – column-mounted, floor-standing, or on a metal frame.
• Civitas Toilet – with a soft-close seat.
• Civitas Bidet – matching the toilet.

The Hermitage Collection

Hermitage has a more decorative character and allows for the complete bathroom to be designed in the same style, including the bathtub.

• Hermitage Washbasin – column-mounted, floor-standing, or on a metal frame.
• Hermitage Toilet – with a soft-close seat.
• Hermitage Bidet – matching.
• Hermitage Freestanding Bathtub 170x80 – with metal feet.

Column, feet, or metal frame?

• The column hides the trap and pipes: the cleanest visual solution.
• Feet give a lighter feel and leave the floor visible.
• The metal frame provides space for towels and matches faucets in the same finish. The trap remains visible, so it is worth choosing an attractive one, such as the Artceram cylindrical trap.

IdeaCasa suggestions for ambiance

• Walls in warm tones (cream, sage green, dusty blue) or wallpaper with a subtle pattern.
• Subway tiles or ceramic paneling up to half the wall.
• Black-and-white tiled or marble flooring.
• A framed mirror above the washbasin, such as the Archi Artceram, with an arched shape and LED.

IdeaCasa also produces custom-printed wallpaper, so you can complete the bathroom with a pattern chosen specifically for your project.

What to check before ordering

• The washbasin mounting option: column, feet, or frame.
• The type of drain for the toilet and bidet.
• The space around the bathtub and the position of the drain.
• The metal finish of the faucets and accessories, the same throughout.
