The clawfoot tub is a true classic
Notes:
-
A Dated Style:
Even though this vintage bathroom feature dates back to the 19th century, it’s remained one of the best and most sought-after pieces. It can look both vintage and modern, which is a true rarity. If you’re looking to add old-world elegance to your bathroom, you can’t go wrong with a clawfoot tub.
-
And It Will Stay In Style:
The problem is that anybody trying to navigate their finances while remodeling their bathroom tries to steer clear of this style. However, if you’re looking to invest in a single piece that’ll last a long time and pay off both practically and aesthetically, we urge you to go for it.
-
Side Note:
What compliments the clawfoot tub best are the tiles that form the accent – tiles establish the decorative theme you want for your vintage bathroom:
-
Tiles are great vintage bathroom features:
Choosing a great tile pattern will do wonders for your bathroom, no doubt. When it comes to vintage features for the bathroom, people often forget about tiles. However, as you can see, we deem them quite essential.
- Even though they may not be the first thing that catches your eye as you enter the room, they subconsciously set the ambiance.
-
Note the Patterns:
Patterns can affect how you perceive the style, luxuriousness, or even the size of your bathroom. If you’re looking to keep the vintage theme even through your tile display, you’ll probably want to go with a smaller tile.
- Nevertheless, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t implement some modern details to get the best of both worlds.

Sinks give your bathroom character
Notes:
- Out of all the vintage features in your bathroom, you’ll probably get the most use out of the sink. Keeping it clean and maintained is essential. This means that you should choose a style that’s easily maintained and practical.
-
Pedestal Sink:
If you’re looking for vintage bathroom features that don’t occupy much space, the pedestal sink is the way to go. They’re practical, classic, and aren’t as costly as some other styles.

Console sink:
The most rustic looking out of the three is undoubtedly the console sink. With it, you’ll get even more space than you would with the pedestal sink. You can use the empty area for baskets or anything else that you need storing.

-
Ornate sink basins:

Which color should your bathroom be?
Notes:
- Colors in your bathroom, alongside tiles, set the overall style and atmosphere of the entire room. However, before you decide to go in a specific direction, you should consider the size of your bathroom:
-
Small Bathrooms:
If your bathroom is on the smaller side, you’ll probably wish to maximize the small space. One of the best ways to do this is visually, using the colors at your disposal. If you’re looking to make your bathroom seem bigger, go with lighter colors.
- White, beige, and soft greys are neutral and go well with most of the other colors that you can use to accentuate.
- [small bathroom color ideas]
-
Big Bathrooms:
In larger bathrooms, you have much more freedom to explore different richer colors. If your style is better expressed with darker tones, there’s no reason not to bring them into play. Of course, make sure not to go overboard.

-
Side Note:
If you want you paint job to really stand out, don’t forget to accent with decorative trim:
-
Wall and Floor Trim:
Homeowners use wall trim for a plethora of reasons. Historically, trim has hidden wall imperfections, hung pictures, and even kept out vermin.
- But these days, homeowners mostly use it for purely visual purposes. Each trim lends itself to a different aesthetic, and it can change our perception of a space. And when you know the main types of wall trim, you can use that to your advantage.

Cabinets should be useful and aesthetically pleasing
Notes:
- Depending on the overall tone and style of your other vintage bathroom items, you should decide what you want the cabinets to look like. Make sure that they complement your sink as well as the bathtub. They should also be as practical as possible.
- You should look for cabinets that don’t occupy too much space but have all the storage room you need.
-
Choose the Perfect Mirror
No matter if you’re going to have a luxurious vanity or a simple mirror above your sink, you need to pay attention to its style. This is where many people make a mistake and purchase a very modern piece that ends up standing out and spoiling the overall Victorian feel.
- Visit your local flea market for some great mirror frames that don’t have to cost a fortune. This is a great way to get creative and save some money while not having to give up on your renovation plans.

What about antique bathroom furniture?
Notes:
- Something that not many people discuss or even think about while looking for vintage bathroom features is furniture. Bathroom furniture may not be something that people use nowadays.
- However, if you have a spacious bathroom and appreciate vintage style, why not go for it? Imagine having a nice Victorian-style ottoman next to your tub or a vanity mirror nook.
-
Moving Antique Furniture
If you do decide to purchase some antique furniture, make sure to handle its transportation as best as you can. You should take precautions during the transfer since some of the vintage pieces tend to be quite fragile.
- Make sure to signify and remind the people you’ve hired to be very careful.
