For a traditional bathroom, DXV offers two very different looks. Oak Hill is rooted in farmhouse style. Belshire is more ornate, with faceted edges and Carrara marble. We cover both suites as they appear on plumbingmarket.ca, from the toilet and vanity to the faucet, shower trim and accessories, using only details from our product pages and dxv.ca.

DXV Oak Hill: farmhouse classic
The Oak Hill 30 in. vanity is solid wood with punched tin or wainscot panels, slow-close doors and an interior shelf with a pull-out drawer. It comes in Weathered Oak with Brushed Nickel handles, or white oak with Polished Chrome handles. Sinks are high-gloss fireclay: the 24 in. 3-hole, the 30 in. 3-hole, and the 30 in. high-back 2-hole for a wall-mount faucet. For a lighter look, set a sink on the 24 in. or 30 in. console legs, which include a front towel bar. Pair them with the Oak Hill high-spout widespread (or the cross-handle version) or the wall-mount faucet. All list cast brass spouts, ceramic disc valves and 8-inch centres. The Oak Hill two-piece toilet has graduated detailing at the base, a 1.28 gpf flush, EverClean and a 12-inch rough-in.
DXV Belshire: faceted Golden Era
The Belshire 30 in. vanity has Natural Oak veneer on MDF with a satin wood inlay and two slow-close drawers. The Warm Walnut version adds a hidden interior drawer and brass inlay. It stands on Belshire vanity legs and takes a Carrara marble vanity top with the Belshire rectangle undermount sink. For a console, use the Carrara console top on cast brass legs with glass shelf. Faucets are sold as a spout, either the low spout or the high spout, plus lever, cross or cushion handles. The Belshire one-piece toilet lists 1.28 gpf, skirted sides, EverClean, a 12-inch rough-in and a Polished Nickel trip lever. The wall-hung bowl needs an in-wall carrier and actuator plate.
How to choose
- Farmhouse, cottage or heritage home: Oak Hill. The fireclay sinks and panelled wood vanity suit the look.
- Dressier, hotel-style bath: Belshire, with its marble, faceted metalwork and inlaid wood.
- Small powder room: an Oak Hill 24 in. sink on console legs takes up the least space here.
- One finish throughout: both suites offer Satin Brass across the faucets, accessories and shower trims.
Finish with matching accessories like the Oak Hill towel rack, Oak Hill paper holder and 30 in. marble shelf, or the Belshire towel rack and paper holder. To plan the shower for either suite, see how to build a DXV shower. For a modern toilet comparison, read DXV Equility vs Modulus.
