Classic-style bathroom: a choice of finishes, furniture, plumbing, decor, lighting

Design features of the classic interior

What is the difference between the classical style and the rest?

• Classicism translates as “exemplary”, everything is harmonious and elegant in it, it does not go out of fashion. Includes such directions as baroque and neoclassicism.
• The decoration is mainly used light, cream colors, emphasizing the elegance of the environment.
• The quality of the materials is always high, which allows for long-term repairs.
• The interior can be simple and concise, but it is filled with elegant details that adorn the furniture, walls or ceiling.

Choosing Bathroom Furniture

To design a bathroom in a classic style, it is necessary to choose furniture from elite woods that reflect the sophistication of the decor.

A curved cabinet under the sink with gilded details and unusual fittings fits perfectly into the classic bathroom. For the countertop, stone is used - natural or artificial, imitating marble or granite. Facades of direct products are complemented by decorative elements.

In the photo there is a direct white stand with moldings and a mirror decorated with mosaic.

The mirror often acts as an accent, having a rich frame or an unusual shape. Open shelves are minimalist and are used only for accessories that emphasize the luxurious style: beautiful vases, glass bottles. Most hygiene items are stored behind the doors of built-in closets and do not disturb the harmony of the environment.

Tips for selecting plumbing

Any bathroom is equipped with standard items (bath, sink, faucets) and, in order to maintain the classic style, it is worth choosing special plumbing.

Classic bathtub

An ideal option for the classics is a bathtub with legs or “lion paws”, which not only looks like a king, but also protects the product from dampness. It is made of brass or cast iron. If the area of ​​the room allows, a comfortable corner bathtub will be an excellent option.

The antique atmosphere is created by a freestanding bathtub on the podium or in the bay window. Despite its high technology, the jacuzzi will also suit the classic style: the main thing is to add elegant elements to the product. For example, install a screen with a decorative grille.

Sink

One of the most popular bathroom models in the traditional style is an elegant “tulip” sink with a leg resembling a column. But for small rooms it is more practical to choose overhead oval sinks with a curbstone. Porcelain items painted inside are especially chic.

Faucets

In a classic bathroom, it is desirable that the faucet be made "antique": with a curved spout and curly valves. An excellent solution would be items made of bronze or stainless steel coated with a "gold" or "silver".

Accessories and decor to complete the classic look

To recreate the classics in the bathroom, you should not neglect the little things: even a poorly selected curtain for the shower can create a dissonance in the appearance of the entire room.The product must be made of high-quality dense material, and patterns and patterns may be present in the decor. Looks great curtain decorated with pickup. Textiles (rugs, towels, curtains on windows), like any accessories in a classic style, should not get out of the general situation.

In the photo there is a magnificent golden curtain for the bathroom, as well as a built-in cupboard-case with milling.

In addition to the interior, decorated in a traditional style, paintings, soft chairs and even curly heated towel rails are made.

Bathroom Lighting

Not the last role in creating classicism in the bathroom is lighting. As the main source of light, you can use a small but picturesque chandelier made of crystal or glass, which is not afraid of moisture. Tiered luminaires are only suitable for high ceilings. Spotlights are usually installed in the shower area.

In the photo there is a volume contrasting chandelier with floor lamps and white sconces of the same shape.

For auxiliary lighting, wall sconces or candelabra are traditionally used - they are placed symmetrically to each other on the sides of the mirror or above it.

In the photo there are paired sconces on the sides of the mirror and a lamp for the dressing table, designed in a single key.

The color scheme of the bathroom

In the interior of a classic bathroom, pastel shades are mainly used: beige, pearl. The white bathroom, diluted with brown or gray details, looks advantageous. Stylish black color gives the decor of the bathroom austerity and respectability.

In the photo, the bathroom is in beige colors with bronze accents and installation in the form of violins.

Saturated gamut is best eliminated, or used in minimal quantities. You can designate a bathroom in blue, lilac, light yellow colors. Bright green is rare, but the malachite hue, on the contrary, looks noble and adds an atmosphere of luxury.

Classic finishes

The most popular material for wall and floor cladding is tile. Porcelain tile with imitation stone not only looks expensive, but also perfectly withstands moisture. Success is enjoyed by glossy and glass tiles, giving the room a noble shine and visually expanding the space.

Decorative plaster and wallpaper are an excellent solution: the choice of shades in the modern construction market allows you to realize any idea. Fans of the Victorian style (one of the classics) decorate the bathroom with wooden panels, placing them on the bottom of the wall.

Classicism in the interior is the case when stucco molding is appropriate on the ceiling, bas-reliefs on the walls, and artistic compositions on the floor.

In the photo there is a door with glass inserts, which plays to maintain a sophisticated classic style in the air bath.

Classic style shower room

Small apartments, for example, Khrushchev, cannot boast spacious bathrooms. A good solution to save space is to install a shower. Modern plastic products do not fit into the traditional style: it is recommended to choose showers with glass doors that look expensive, stylish and do not take up an extra area.

The photo shows a shower area separated by glass walls.

This area is faced with tiles, which always echoes the rest of the decor: it repeats the shades or texture of walls, floors, countertops, washbasins. In classicism, we will not find a bright accent wall in the shower area.

Examples of combined bathrooms

The classic style can be embodied in the bathroom connected to the toilet. A toilet seat made of lacquered wood can become a decoration of a room, but if the desire to hide plumbing prevails, you can use a decorative screen.

The photo shows an original bathroom with a toilet and a bidet, the wall of which is decorated with a picturesque mosaic panel.

In the combined bathroom you can place a washing machine. Ideally, if there is enough space to hide it in the built-in closet, but there is another way out - to hide the equipment behind the drapery.
