Often when choosing new fixtures for a bathroom there is a sort of mindset involved that’s not unlike investing: can these fixtures be used if I remodel?
Hansgrohe is a versatile company that provides much possiblity, regardless of the tub and tile you choose. They specialize in hardware fixtures like faucets and showerheads in order to focus on the highest quality water flow in your bathroom. They have a belief of making sure the bathroom isn’t just a place of necessity, but one of relaxation and recreation as well.
It’s their mixture of modern and classical design that lends itself to complementing any existing interior decoration. The Axor Montreux line at first glance seems more like an antique throwback than a melding of two sensibilities. It will grant a Victorian feel to any room, but certain touches can make it move forward and backward in time.
An old-style clawfoot tub, standing away from the wall, with light tones such as off-white or aged yellow will certainly give the era of the room a thoroughly retro look. The addition of crown molding further solidifies that style. Their wall mounted tub filler #16540 combines the handles and shower cradle into a single unit. A brushed nickel finish will lend a luxurious and refined look. A 3-Hole Roman Tub Set #16543 also is reminiscent of past designs.

In order to affect a modernistic approach, a color palette of medium grays, light blues and black highlights will immediately update the layout. Choosing a polished nickel finish gives a sharper outline to the faucets and showerheads, and emphasizes the stark functionality of the unit, rather than the design elegance. The reflectivity also matches the design aesthetics of later eras. You could also try mounting a Montreux handshower # 16320 with a Techniflex shower hose #28276 over a tub or shower stall. It would be a far more futuristic option, yet still from the same line. Even more industrial would be a simple tub spout #16541 and two thermostatic deck valves #16480. The minimalist design is definitely in line with modern interior decoration.

If you want a more relaxed style, something more suited to an everyday feel rather than featuring advanced design, the Axor Carlton line was crafted with that sense in mind. Shown here are a few select models:
