Going for a vintage bathroom design can provide you with a place of true comfort thanks to its luxurious appeal. Some people think that vintage design can be out of place when trying to decorate a bathroom but they cannot deny the genuine and elegant beauty that a vintage design can provide to the household’s aura. We are talking about that timeless appeal that cannot be spotted in the contemporary designs and styles. A vintage bathroom can be regarded as a true work of art and you can get amazing effects by using vintage fixtures and furniture in order to add some extra comfort to this place. Faucet, toilet, bathtub, sink and other bathroom accessories should belong to the same vintage theme in order to get a stylish and picturesque look for your bathroom. By using matching pieces, you will avoid making your bathroom look like a real hodgepodge of clashing designs, trends and styles.

If the size of your bathroom allows you, you should go for the vintage benches, closets, chairs and cabinets too in order to set the right vintage mood. The beauty of your vintage bathroom can be accentuated by incorporating some vintage tiles. Pastel colors can be used together with mahogany, chocolate or almond shades of brown. Such vintage tiles can be used on the counter-tops, sinks, walls or showers . Proper lighting plays a major role as well when it comes to improving the way your vintage bathroom looks. By using the proper lighting, you will improve the overall quality of your vintage place of comfort. For instance, you should use lighting controls in order to control lighting from dim to bright. This is better than using just a simple intensity light that could decrease the vintage appeal of your bathroom. By using the lighting controls, you will be able to set the right mood for a wide range of activities.

One cannot deny the genuine aura of prestige and calmness that is usually related to a vintage bathroom. Choose marble or porcelain tiles that have smooth finishes of pale colors such as white, light green or sky blue. Halfway up the bathroom walls, you should apply square tiles. A vintage bathroom floor should have a mosaic design with a bold color interior that could be bordered. You can purchase this kind of tiles from local shops or even get them at bargains in garage sales. The built-ins are other popular vintage pieces that are both practical and aesthetic. For instance, the hidden medicine cabinets can become the perfect bathroom accessories as well as the old towel bars that are built right into the sink. Such towel bars are usually heated via electricity or hot water and you can purchase them from a local hardware shop. 

When looking for the right lighting, you should go for the metals or pick frosted glass because these materials are the best at providing the right vintage atmosphere. Ceiling lights and antique sconces may work as well and you can purchase them from flea markets or antique stores. Even the hanging lamps can compliment your overall vintage theme. And we shouldn’t forget about the vintage bathtub because this piece is among the ones that finishes the vintage touch. For instance, you can choose a pedestal or claw foot tub made of acrylic or cast iron.  You can order such a quality piece from a special vintage manufacturer.
