When it comes to creating an oasis of comfort and relaxation, nothing beats the simple luxury of Old-World charm. With the right hardware and design, you can create a classic bathroom that will make you fall in love with your house all over again. If the Old-World look is just your style, here are a few tips for making your home improvement project a success.

4 Tips for the Perfect Old-World Bathroom

1. Choose the Right Sink

For a truly antique design, choose a vanity in dark wood with a natural stone top and a marble top. For the sink, go with ceramic handles or black iron with a simple, elegant design.

2. Focus on the Bathtub

A sophisticated white clawfoot tub is the focal point of any Old-World bathroom design. Depending on your tastes, you might want a tub made of pristine white porcelain or a distressed model that will give your bathroom a truly vintage look. Or, if your bathroom has limited space, opt for old-fashioned shower options.

3. Use Natural Materials

Natural stone or clay tiles are an integral part of the Old-World aesthetic, especially if you’re going for a Mediterranean-style design. Using two or three different materials can give your home improvement project unique and eye-catching results.

4. Select the Right Accessories

A successful Old-World home improvement project depends on the details, so select your hardware and other features carefully. For example, a wood-framed mirror that matches the vanity and a cloth shower curtain will give your bathroom a sense of timeless luxury.
