7 Vintage Bathrooms: Style and Function

bathroom decorating ideas September 30, 2019

My house has two vintage bathrooms with claw foot tubs – one with a shower, one without. Although spa-like bathrooms are favored for their modern conveniences, I’ll always have a soft spot for an old-fashioned bathroom.

A charming farmhouse style bathroom has a built-in medicine chest, shiplap walls, and a rustic wood vanity. I even like the little soap dish in this cute bathroom.

One of my childhood friends had a tiny bathroom similar to this one. Her family called it the necessary room. I thought it was the cutest bathroom ever!

Vintage bathrooms often show a claw foot tub in the middle of the room, as opposed to against the wall. An ornate mirror and chandelier give the room an elegant aura.

One thing a lot of vintage bathrooms have in common is that part of the plumbing is exposed. Often times, it’s part of the bathroom’s beauty and charm.

    I used to live in an old Victorian house in upstate N.Y with a huge downstairs bathroom with a claw foot tub. I was much younger than but it was still a challenge to get in and out of this and bathing my little ones quite a back breaker. Romantic yes but practice no. I much prefer the soaking tub I have in my newly renovated bath. It has a wide ledge to sit on making access much more comfortable.Also lots of places to put bath toiletries ect.

    I love vintage bathrooms for style, modern for ease of keeping clean. I admit to being a slob in the bathroom, with makeup, hairspray, after-bath body powder, lotions, etc causing most of my mess. I obviously need surfaces easy to clean. In a perfect world, I would have a seldom used vintage guest bath and a daily use modern en suite for myself.
