An Old World Look in a Modern Bathroom: How to Accent
You've selected the perfect antique bathroom vanity. Carefully coordinating the marble or granite top with the solid wood carved cabinetry, you've placed it as the focal point to the room. Now comes the challenge. How to make modern life, with its toothpaste tubes, its electrical appliances, and its packaged products fit the aesthetic you are trying to create? Using some accents in the bathroom, along with some tips for "hiding" some of life's aesthetic challenges can keep your new room the way you envisioned it to be- a retreat that complements the rest of your home.
One of your first concerns after a vanity sink has been purchased is the hardware, which is usually sold separately. Choose hardware that matches the sink style and complements its colors. Black granite or dark woods look especially nice with warm metals, while white is often seen with stainless steel accents, softened by white porcelain knobs.
For lighting, make as much use of natural light as possible, which means keeping window treatments to a minimum. A single chandelier can be used for the evening, or wall sconces can be chosen.
The vanity sink itself offers storage options for toilet paper, toothpaste, and other supplies that are most convenient to store here. For other items, consider alternative storage ideas. You can use small metal tubs that sit on the floor or on a low shelf for the small appliances you use everyday such as hairdryers and hair irons. Hand-painted enamel buckets can be placed on a shelf or other flat surface to hold hand-towels for your guests. In place of the built-in medicine cabinet, you can find glass and metal trays and use apothecary style jars for storage of bath oils, salts, and liquid soaps. You can also find Victorian style bottles etched with floral patterns or cut glass details.
A small cupboard is also a great choice for additional storage. Custom cupboards can usually be designed to open to either side of the room, so think about the room's layout and use- entryways, accessibility, etc. before you order something custom made. The top of the cupboard can be accented by a small vase of lavender, a bouquet of wildflowers, or a pitcher and bowl seen in traditional guest rooms in earlier times. An antique chamber-pot can serve as an accent piece as well.
Products are also available that recall another time and place. Pumice stones, glycerine soaps, and natural stone accessories are all items that will blend well with the surroundings you have created. Toothbrushes with beech-wood or clear plastic handles can be found, as well has brushes and combs that are made of natural woods. Not only are they more visually pleasing, they are often times better quality and longer lasting than their plastic counterparts!
In the end, the choice about how much "modernity" makes it to your bathroom is yours. The market exists for all types of preferences, which should make it a breeze to find your level of comfort between the old world and new.
