Classic Bathroom Plumbing Fixtures from Wayfair
I’m consistently thinking and planning ahead… this week I was presented with a potential opportunity that could result in renovating our primary bath. Who knows if it will actually come to fruition, but the opportunity forced me to loosely finish designing the space (which I had started last year). Therefore, I’ve had all things bath and plumbing fixtures on my brain this week. If you’re planning to renovate or update your own bathroom- or even just replace your faucet, shower head, toilet, or bathtub… this post is for you! Consider this your designer approved plumbing fixture guide, filled with toilets, tubs, faucets, and vanities you can feel assurance investing in… ones that won’t go out of style. Click through for my curated and classic bathroom plumbing fixture picks from Wayfair!

Finishes & Mixing Metals
I’m a fan of layering and mixing metals for a curated aesthetic. I think that’s a topic that stumps many people when making design selections- especially plumbing fixtures. Be sure to check out my Designer Trick post on mixing metals, here! When it comes to longevity, I think living brass, antique brass, and polished nickel have the best staying power (if you’re designing for the long haul)… followed by oil rubbed bronze that looks nearly black. Therefore, you’ll primarily see those finishes throughout my selections. However, all of these items come in multiple finishes, so you’ve got options, depending on your needs!

Bathroom Faucets
When shopping for bathroom faucets, you’ll need to know the type you’re shopping for based on specs…. a widespread faucet has three holes (two levers or handles and a spout), a single hole would indicate you’re shopping for a single spout faucet, etc. I’ve included all types throughout this roundup- all in timeless shapes and finishes, of course. I’ve also included deck mount and wall mount options.
Above, you may recognize the Moen Weymouth faucet from my basement bathroom, or the Delta Cassidy faucet from my guest bathroom– both are beautiful and affordable options. I tried to include fixtures for all budgets. Check out this blog post for my tips on how to choose widespread bathroom faucets!
Toilets
Oddly, not all toilets are created equal- in functionality or aesthetic. Having spent a lot of time traveling around Asia, and visiting Japan earlier this year- I’ve really been wishing for a smart toilet. This is also coming from a gal with chronic gut issues, so I’m fully on board with bidets. For our primary bathroom renovation, I’d love to have a smart toilet. I included both in this roundup…
Aside from my dream smart toilet that would exist in our primary water closet, all of our bathroom renovations end up with a Kohler Memoirs toilet. Why? I elaborate in this post… ways to upgrade your toilet! I look for a toilet that is easy to clean, has a nice form, is minimal, and I always stick to classic white.
Shower Trim & Tub Fillers
Shower plumbing fixtures are varied… tub fillers- which can either be floor mount or deck mounted, shower trim, levers, rain heads, valves, and thermostatic kits. Regardless of what specifications you’re looking for, make sure the scale of your shower fixtures align with the scale of your bathtub or shower.
From the collage, I have the Delta Cassidy in our guest bath, and the Moen Weymouth in our basement bath… matching the faucets I shared above. Be sure to give this blog post a read on how to choose cohesive bathroom plumbing fixtures!
Bathtubs
There are three main types of bathtubs: drop-in, alcove (like my tub pictured above), and freestanding. My dream bathtub is the soaking tub in the top left of the collage… expect to see that in our future primary bath someday- or something similar.
I think it’s worth noting- I also think clawfoot tubs are absolutely timeless, and I especially love them painted a color. I’d recommend going to vintage route if you have your heart set on a clawfoot.
Readymade Vanities & Sinks
keep in mind, many of these would look best with customization (a hardware swap, etc) copy link back to vanity post, single sinks double sinks, consoles sinks, … something from every category to get your wheels turning. I’ve included single sink vanities, double sinks, and even console sinks in the below collage- something from every category to get your wheels turning.
Keep in mind, many of these bathroom vanities would look best with customization of some sort (a hardware swap, updated stone, etc). Here is a detailed post on ways to customize a readymade bathroom vanity for a timeless designer look.
FAQ
Luckily, Wayfair carries all of my favorite designer brands. My go-to budget brand is Kingston Brass. Average priced: Moen, Delta, and Kohler, to name a few… and high-end designer / more expensive: Rohl, Newport Brass, and Perrin & Rowe. Just off the top of my head!
I would be as specific as you can, and use their handy filter tool to help narrow your search. You can search by finish, fixture type, brand, price range, etc. I also put in my specs… like this: lavatory widespread faucet antique brass. Or polished nickel thermostatic shower kit.
Hands down, Newport Brass– I think they have around 25 finishes, and they’re all very high-end.
