Traditional Bathroom Design Ideas

Traditional bathroom designs are an elegant and classic choice for your home.


Designing your bathroom is a personal and individual experience. When exploring all of the possibilities for your bathroom design, consider some of the traditional designs that create an elegant and classic style in the room. Bathrooms can be an exquisite expression of your taste and individual style. Keep some traditional elements while adding your own personal signature to the bathroom.


Vanity


Vanities in a traditional bathroom design are grand pieces of furniture that include double sinks and plenty of storage space to keep all your bathroom items. A traditional vanity includes drawers and in some cases, a bench seat for applying makeup and grooming. A smaller bathroom may not accommodate a double sink vanity, but the furniture style of the piece is still present. Choose a piece with a large mirror in a smaller bathroom to give a feeling of size to the room. It is best to include only one mirror in a smaller bathroom to avoid disorientation in the bathroom.


Bathtub


A claw foot bathtub or a freestanding tub offers a vintage traditional look in the room. If you have the space in the bathroom, include a separate shower stall for the traditional bathroom. Positioning the tub in front of a window is a luxurious look in your bathroom if you have a nice view from the room. Glass doors are the preferred choice for a small bathroom to increase the appearance of the room. A bathtub can crowd a smaller bathroom if it is too large.


Furniture


Larger bathrooms can accommodate pieces of furniture for lounging or sitting while preparing for a bath. Take advantage of the large space in the room to install an overstuffed chair or even a lounge chair.








Paint and Wallpaper


Light colors such as pale blues, sea greens and creamy yellows create a relaxing feeling in the traditional bathroom. The lighter colors give the room a light and airy feeling, which is attractive in a small bathroom. Choose wallpaper patterns for larger bathrooms that are not overwhelmed by the busyness of the design.
