As autumn/winter approaches, deeper shades of blackberry, damson, mulberry and plum are bringing richer colour to bathroom schemes. Used across walls and other surfaces, these saturated tones can create an immersive look, while crisp white sanitaryware provides contrast and helps balance the overall scheme.
Thomas Crapper’s Harwood Basin is particularly suited to colour-drenched schemes, with its strong rectangular silhouette and generous proportions. Handcrafted by artisans in Britain from Devonshire fireclay, the basin takes inspiration from the traditional butler sinks, reinterpreted in a more compact format for contemporary bathrooms and cloakrooms.
Its white glaze provides definition and creates contrast against darker wall colours. At the same time, brass wall-mounted taps, such as the Thomas Crapper 1920 Cross-head or Lever Three Tap Hole Wall Mixer, can introduce a complementary metallic accent. In more classic schemes, it sits comfortably alongside panelling, patterned floors and decorative details, but is equally at home within immersive contemporary spaces.
