7 Vintage Bathroom Designs
If so, here are some tips for designing a bathroom that perfects the vintage look:
Jewel bathroom tones
Jewel tones are a great way to add colour to your bathroom. Choose from a wide range of hues, such as emerald green and sapphire blue. These colours can be used on walls, cabinets, or shower tiles.
As with any colour scheme, make sure you use jewel tones sparingly, you don't want them to overwhelm the room. Try combining them with neutrals like white or cream for a subtle effect.
Dark and moody bathrooms
Period properties are known for their darker interiors. This is a style that works well in a room that you retreat to and relax in at the end of a long day.
Start by choosing dark cabinets and walls. For more interest, consider ornate patterned wallpaper or splashbacks. Then, opt for a white tub or sink. The contrast between the two materials makes them stand out in the room.
Gold bathrooms accents
Nothing screams' old-school luxury' more than a touch of gold.
You don't need much to inject serious glamour into your bathroom. Make sure that any gold elements are balanced by other colours in the space, such as neutrals or jewel tones.
Clawfoot baths
A clawfoot bathtub is a classic design element that can add elegance to a vintage bathroom. Often referred to as a roll top bath, this freestanding tub has a long, rounded shape and ornate feet that resemble claws. These features contribute to their decadence.
The tubs also come in various colours, as well as white and black. If you prefer something more modern, clawfoot bathtubs have been updated to include whirlpool jets or other features.
Bronze & copper bathroom accents
A classic Victorian look can be created with the addition of bronze accents. Copper pipes were common during this era and now this trend is making a reappearance due to its pleasing aesthetics.
Copper, and also bronze, can be used for everything from taps to towel bars and, for a really striking look, in baths and basins.
Ornate bathroom walls
Victorian and Edwardian homes are often decorated with ornate floor and wall tiles, wall paneling and ceiling roses.
This is a simple look to achieve, and with the right design choices, can make a bold statement. Play around with different colours, textures and combinations until you find a look you're happy with.
Exposed brickwork
Exposed brick is a popular vintage design element that adds depth and character to any room in your home. Even if you don't have naturally occurring brickwork in your bathroom, it's a look you can imitate.
