Vintage Bathrooms
Top design experts help you choose the right style for your classic bath.

Your own period sink may not start off life as a salad bowl, of course. Sometimes, in fact, you may start with a single fabulous feature, like a grand Victorian ball-and-claw bathtub, that inspires the decor of the rest of the room. Or you find your dream house, which is perfect — except for that enormous, black square tub.

To make the most of what you've got, good or bad, work with it, not against it. understand the look you want so you can find your inspirations in even the most unlikely places. And pay attention to the most seemingly trivial details. Often, it's the accents that define success.

here we round up some ideas of Classic Vintage Bathroom Styles.

- Mix and Match
a specialist designer recommends linking rooms by color, for instance, or compromising a bit on a look, perhaps adding a Tibetan rug to a Victorian-style bath, rather than an Oriental one. The idea is to keep a theme between the rooms, he says: "It's good to have a flow."

- Viva Victoriana
Think "more is better," says celebrity designer. "A Victorian bath should scream opulence: an elegant claw-foot tub, glazed floor and wall tiles in a highly decorative pattern and colors, and a crystal chandelier." If chandeliers aren't your thing, look for the Tiffany-style stained-glass lamps that graced so many Victorian baths. For more shine, add brass cabinet hardware, doorknobs and sconces or hanging lamps.

- Deco Drama
This bath should reflect the era's minimal use of ornamentation, for example, by placing the tub directly on the floor, instead of on claw feet. Repetition of form is also key. Set geometric tile designs in rhythmic, regular patterns, and pay attention to the physical shape of the furnishings. In fact, deco is an ideal style to consider when confronting that black square bathtub you inherited when you bought the house; it reflects both the geometry and the predominant ebony-and-ivory color palette of the time.

- Funky '50s
"Utilitarian with a touch of spunk" is how designer describes the styles of the '50s. You may even find that the fixtures in your house are already of this era when you move in. Don't fight them — play with them, and make them work for you. Pale blue bathtub? Pink pedestal sink? Terrific. Add features in similar ice-cream colors with shades of pistachio, strawberry and pale, vanilla-yellow. "Think of that poodle skirt," "and have a little fun with the countertop laminate selection — it, too, can be pretty in pink."
