A traditional toilet will add bags of charm to your bathroom. If your home has a Victorian style period, country, or vintage shabby chic bathroom, then the obvious choice of toilet system for you is either a High Level toilet or a Low Level toilet, both of which belong to a range of traditional options.
A High Level toilet system is where the cistern is placed high up on the wall, with the flush operated by a long metal chain. The intricate styling of these toilets is best suited to a Victorian style, Edwardian, or Art Deco bathroom, adding to the bathroom’s turn-of-the-century charm.
A stylish mid-century vintage or shabby chic bathroom, on the other hand, would be more suited to a Low Level toilet. In this case, there is still the range of traditional design aesthetics, and the cistern remains separate from the toilet but is positioned much lower. The flush is operated via a lever handle, either on the wall or the side of the cistern.
In both cases, the flush pipe between the toilet bowl and cistern is clearly visible, reinforcing the Victorian style and heritage appeal of these designs.
