How to create an old world glamour look in your bathroom
Whether your home is heritage, brand spanking new or somewhere comfortably in between, every bathroom can benefit from a bit of old world charm. Louise Cook, National Product Manager from Mico Bathrooms, has a few pointers for those embarking on a bathroom project.
Old world glamour style
- Go for a classic colour scheme: Black and white or just white is best for the classic look. You can add interest by using different textures and patterns. For example, gloss with matte, smooth with rough and patterned with block colour.
- Choose luxe materials: Invest in high-quality finishes for flooring and surfaces like marble or granite, these will bring a timeless luxury to the space – as well as being hard wearing.
- Go big on statement lighting: A vintage crystal chandelier will make you feel like a movie star every time you step foot in your new bathroom.
- Go for an antique look: Search out accessories with a vintage vibe –mirrors, tapware and cabinetry are all readily available in styles from any era that delights your imagination.
- Bring it up to date: Incorporating rose gold, gold or copper accents is a beautiful way to add a contemporary touch to the space
