It doesn’t matter what your bathroom looks like right now. It’s actually a lot easier than you might think to transform it into a beautifully classic space with a well thought out bathroom remodel. Many people opt to take out home improvement secured loans when you really don’t have to. To implement your bathroom design in to reality and turn in to a timeless classic doesn’t have to cost the earth! However, it will add value in the long term and hopefully give you some extra money when you come to sell your home.
Here are some simple tips to help you turn your bathroom into a timeless classic and boost your home’s value…
Black & White
The combination of black and white is clearly a timeless one, and it is one that works especially well in the bathroom. If you base your bathrooms colour palette on these two colours, not only will you be able to make your bathroom timelessly stylish, but you’ll also ensure that you can add any accessories you like to the space and they will fit right in because black and white go with anything.
If your bathroom is already white, as many bathrooms are, then adding black into the room via bath mats, towels and accessories, like the ones at Dunelm is an easy way to achieve the classic black and white look. However, if you’re planning to renovate the bathroom, using a mix of black and white tiles to create a classic look will be even better.
If your tiles are coloured, like a lot of older bathrooms are, then running with the black and white theme, in any case, can create a quite striking look, as the contrast between the black and white accessories and the bold colour of your tiles can be pretty wonderful.
Bathroom Tiles
When it comes to classic patterns in the bathroom, you can’t really go wrong with diamonds, squares, and fleur de lis designs, all of which are very traditional and quite striking.
A good way to use these classic patterns in a more modern way is by mixing them up and using several different styles in the one bathroom. So, you could have a diamond shower curtain, square floor tiles, and fleur de lis product dispensers.
Magical Metals
Gold, copper, silver, and brass are all traditional materials that have been making bathrooms look a lot more elegant for hundreds of years. If you do nothing else to update your bathroom, replace your old taps with a set made from these metals, do the same with your curtain poles and add a few choice metal accessories into the space too (classical statues are good).
Bathroom Mirrors
Every bathroom needs at least one mirror which you can pluck your eyebrows, shave and do your makeup in front of, but if you want to create a timeless classic, you need to choose a mirror that’s more impressive than average. A mirror with a carved frame in gold or silver will sit well and bring an extra level of sophistication to the room.
A Clawfoot Bathtub
Clawfoot bathtubs are those stunning tubs you often see in stately homes and books about the Victorian aristocracy, so there’s no denying that they’re classic. They’re also a very big draw for home buyers who love a bit more luxury than the average.
Wood Panelling
Wood panelling isn’t for everyone, but if you want to create a bathroom that’s more classic country than classic aristocracy, panelling half of the walls with white wood is a simple, affordable and attractive option.
A Simple Walk-In Shower
A shower is a necessity in the modern world when we don’t have the time or inclination to bathe daily. However, it can really overpower the space. If you want your bathroom to be a timeless classic, you should then install as un-intrusive a shower as possible. A simple glass booth with a shower shelf is all you really need in your new bathroom.
A Fireplace
If your property allows for it, there can be few things more decadent than having a fireplace installed in your bathroom. Traditionally, a lot of well-to-do families would have had an open fire in their bathrooms to keep them warm, and although, thanks to central heating, they are no longer strictly necessary, they are a fantastic addition to any bathroom; an addition that you will enjoy and which will add value to your home.
Creating a timelessly classic bathroom is all about simplicity and elegance. You don’t need to spice the place up with bright colours or install a spa bath. You just need to ensure that the place looks clean and simple and that suits your personality.
