James Martin Bristol Collection

Bristol Collection

Bristol is traditional without being ornate. The detailing sits in the frame profile and the door edge rather than in carved panels, which is why it works in bathrooms where a heavily decorated vanity would feel like too much. It is one of the few collections here that looks correct in an older house without pretending to be an antique.

The finishes are all quiet: Bright White, Silver Gray, Sage Green, Whitewashed Walnut and Saddle Brown. Sage Green in particular has become the one people ask for, because it gives colour without committing the room to a strong hue.

Sizes and mirrors

Vanities at 30, 36, 48, 60 and 72 inches, with mirrors at 29, 36 and 44 inches. The Bristol mirror carries the same subtle frame detailing as the cabinets, with bevel cut glass and recessed keyhole brackets so it hangs flush to the wall.

Details worth knowing

• Soft close hinges and undermount drawer glides throughout
• Quartz countertops with porcelain sinks included
• Wireless charging offered in the counter on selected models
• Matching mirrors in three widths

If you want the same transitional feel with a broader colour range, look at Brittany. For the modern farmhouse version, Breckenridge.
