The most important room in a house is the bathroom. It is a place for people to relax and unwind after a busy day. These have been brought inside a home only since last century. All over the world designer bathrooms are now the in thing.
The basic amenities that every bathroom must have are a toilet, wash basin, a bathtub and a shower. Nowadays these come as modern and plush bathroom fixtures, which provide a feeling of style and comfort. These well-designed, romantic and luxurious designer fittings create an inviting and relaxing atmosphere to the modern bathrooms.
The modern styles keep changing, and the definition of ‘contemporary style’ is also ever changing, but the traditional style remains steady. The basic style of the bathroom must match with the style of the entire house. If you will install a bathroom with Victorian style sanitaryware and furniture in a modern house, it will look out of place. If there are traditional features throughout the house you can have anything from a Victorian style to a fondly recreated period bathroom.
The classic features of the traditional bathroom styles are eternal. A bathroom with this style harnesses an air of graciousness with style. Traditional style is known for gilded finishes, floral fabrics and accents that heavily include porcelain, gold and silver. The vintage bathrooms that harness the designs of the 1920’s are becoming more popular than ever. The traditional design color palette consists of whites, beige, grays, vibrant greens, marine blues, rose quartz, topaz, gold and deep reds.
A large spacious bathroom with a classic roll top bath, or a Victorian bath teemed with gold period-style taps and gold claw feet, completes a traditional look. It is especially appropriate for a Victorian house. For smaller bathrooms wall hung furniture is typically contemporary in design with its simple clean cut lines and it creates the feeling of space. Contemporary fittings create a fuss-free modern-day look, where as traditional fittings create a feeling of grandeur and provide a hint of luxury.
The traditional look in the bathroom can be achieved with the help of decorative sanitary ware. The decorative molding and subtle color schemes may appear formal, but they are the key in completing the welcoming space that will last a lifetime.
