In bathroom remodeling, traditional designs are again taking center-stage and one such phenomenal comebacks are Vintage Baths—especially those that incorporate the early 1900s American style. More and more homeowners, even in big cities like New York, are finding the classic allure of the yesteryears a more comforting idea to undertake. Add a good dose of luxury and advanced technology in this and the dream bath of many takes form. Even in real estate buying trends, restoring century homes in the suburbs is increasingly becoming in vogue. But whether you choose to do bathroom remodeling to restore or bring vintage style anew, here are the essentials you should learn whether you are in Long Island, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Staten Island, or Queens.
Why Vintage Style?
It was at the dawn of the 20th century that vintage baths were revolutionized from the mere shower and comfort room to a more elaborate set-up that accommodates the more modern needs of families. This makes the 1900s style of bathroom remodeling appealing even to present-day homeowners. The increasing popularity of such has made modern yet vintage designed products and bath items available in the market, allowing you flexibility when it comes to budgeting. And here are important pointers to achieve that desired vintage look:
- Walls and Flooring
When it comes to walls and flooring, you have a delightful array of options to choose from which brandishes common characteristics such as classy, elegant and picturesque. Tiles can be used for both walls and flooring. Though black and white is a standard, you can go for other light and subdued colors for your bathroom remodeling. Now that wallpapers have become better and can equally stand extreme moisture, richly texture wallpapers are now must-haves in vintage baths featuring old-fashioned elements.
- Bath and Tubs
The tub is among the most important part of a vintage design. Being a visually dominant feature of your bathroom remodeling, it can easily create an eye candy or eyesore within the design so make sure to pick one that beautifully complements with the rest of the things you throw into the décor. Free-standing, specifically claw-foot tubs are hot items for vintage baths. Aside from looking luxurious, these types of tubs also work great in saving up space.
- Lighting Fixtures
Elaborate lighting fixtures for vintage baths are the easiest and most effective way to spark interest into the design. The popularity of vintage baths has enabled the market to supply antique-looking but highly advanced lighting fixtures that allows you to enjoy the luxuriously classic look and feel as well as convenient technological features at the same time. Gold, antiquated metals, art deco, and stained or etched glass that come in ornate shapes and designs go fashionably well with your bathroom remodeling.
- Bathroom Vanities
Vintage vanities are the ultimate additions to complete the look of vintage baths. Antique and furniture looking, richly ornate wooden cabinets and drawers with glass, ceramic or porcelain sinks add an alluring old-world charm to your bathroom remodeling. Shabby chi mirrors to complement the entire construction is another important element that makes up for the intense touch of elegance.
