100 classic bathroom design ideas pictured

Beauty and luxury, elegance and grace, practicality and rationalism - all this is a classic style in the interior. No matter how many years have passed, no matter what new stylistic trends modern culture offers us, but the classics remain outside of fashion and time. The traditional setting has always been popular with most homeowners. With the advent of new technologies, improved finishing materials and technical capabilities, the classics only change, adapting to a new rhythm of life, but do not change themselves.

The classic style in the bathroom is always an elegant cover with functional content, calm neutral colors, nice textures, a traditional, ergonomic arrangement of sanitary ware, furniture and accessories.

In a classic bathroom you will not find deliberately rough finishes, flashy shades, modern decor items or ultra-modern gadgets and devices. The whole atmosphere is subordinated to the general concept of luxurious comfort.

Let us consider in more detail the components of a modern bathroom in a classic style, its color palette, decoration methods, furniture placement options.

Bath

The classic style does not prohibit bathtubs of extraordinary design or unusual shapes and colors, but still it is better to dwell on the traditional version of light shades.

A bathtub with elegant carved legs will look very appropriate in the interior of a classic style.

The copper or bronze legs of the bathtub will perfectly combine with the interior in soft, pastel colors and will transform a little bohemian atmosphere.

If the bathroom is not large enough, it is advisable to install a bath near the wall. Often the plumbing is sewn up from all the free sides, and the lining of the screens is carried out using ceramic or stone tiles, most often in light colors.

If the area of the bathroom allows, the bath can be positioned in the center or so that the approach to it was from several sides.

Putting the bath in the center of the room. We are changing the whole atmosphere, giving it some royal luxury. A snow-white bathtub against the background of wood flooring looks incredibly advantageous.

If the bathroom has a roomy bay window, as in the photo, then this will be an ideal place for a bathtub of an unusual shape. This situation is royally presentable and at the same time rational.

Currently, bathtubs are made from all kinds of materials. The days when you could buy only a cast-iron or steel bath have passed. Products from the now popular acrylic are much lighter in weight and quite practical, easy to maintain and care.

Bathtubs made of natural stone, including marble, glass, solid wood, bronze and copper, are also produced today, but in smaller quantities and not for mass sales, but mainly on order.

A bathtub of an unusual shape or color, and sometimes both, can become a center of attraction, a key element of the whole room. Similar contrasting color schemes invigorate the interior and give it personality.

Sink

The trend of recent decades in the interior of bathrooms has been the placement of two sinks with appropriate accessories within the same room.

If the size of the room allows, then two sinks or sinks in the room will quickly pay for their installation with incredible convenience and time saving, especially in the morning and evening hours.

One of the options for the location of the sinks is next to each other, perpendicular to the bath. This layout saves space and allows you to ergonomically combine the functional segments of the room.

Sinks located opposite each other bring symmetry to the room. It is only important that the distance between them is sufficient to accommodate two residents standing back to back.

Sinks can be located parallel to the bath next to each other, if the size of the room allows.

And the last option is to place two sinks - with a bath in between. This arrangement allows you to have access to the bath from all sides, the tenants in front of the sinks do not interfere with each other, and each has a private space. Of course, such an arrangement is possible in a fairly spacious room.

Shower stall

Most often, the shower room is a small space, usually in the corner of the room, limited by walls and transparent or frosted glass partitions.

Glass partitions in a transparent version do not burden the space, lining the surfaces of the shower cabin and the space near the bath in one palette creates a harmonious and balanced appearance of the room.

Only one glass partition is able to create a space for organizing a shower. Modern shower accessories and marble finishes have created an incredibly pleasant atmosphere for water treatments.

In a small bathroom, sometimes you have to completely abandon the bath and confine yourself to installing shower equipment. A cool palette and modern decor have created an elegant atmosphere of the room.

Another option for organizing a zone for water procedures is a bath and shower in one place behind a glass partition. A rational and universal location will allow you to use the different capabilities of the shower and bathtubs within a small room, which can be visually increased with the help of mirrors.

If necessary and the availability of a certain amount of free square meters, for the shower can be built walls of any shape. In this case, recessed lighting and transparent casement doors are required. This is an important aspect for a comfortable, from a psychological and practical point of view, showering.

Here is an option to equip a spacious bathroom with not only two sinks, but also a shower cabin so spacious that two people can simultaneously take water procedures. The room, made in a light beige palette, is supported by the warmth of wood surfaces and furniture.

Bathroom Furniture

The average bathroom in old-style city apartments is not large enough to accommodate, among other things, any furniture. But in country houses, urban mansions and apartments of an improved layout, it is possible to put in the bathrooms not only storage systems, but also armchairs, dressing tables, display cases or chests of drawers.

A wooden high showcase and a cupboard for it are perfectly compiled with beams on the ceiling and a podium finish for the bathtub, creating a comfortable and cozy atmosphere of the bathroom.

Finishing the space under the sinks in the form of wooden cabinets not only organizes storage systems for bath accessories, but also hides engineering systems and pipes from our eyes.

Sometimes the area of the bathroom is so large that it is possible to organize a whole set of storage systems, with a built-in pair of sinks, and a dressing table with a mirror. Warm, pleasing to the eye, the decoration of the room is no less striking than the design features of the interior - stained glass in a window frame similar to a frame for a mirror, a beautiful chandelier, wall lamps mounted in a mirror, interesting decoration of the lower tier of surfaces near the bathtub.

Another example of a spacious bathroom in delicate pastel colors, containing a system of cabinets, in addition to the necessary plumbing attributes.

If your area for placing the bathroom is so large that even after installing the furniture, not excluding the cabinet and soft, there is enough space left, you can consider the option of placing a fireplace. In the case of the room shown in the photo, the fireplace is visible from the side of the living room and the bathroom, it is built into the wall, which is a partition between the two rooms. Incredible sensations - watch a live fire lying in a foam bath. Royal scope, large scale, nice peach palette.

In this bathroom, the designer decided to place a pair of comfortable soft chairs with covers made of cloth for towels. These chairs are easy to care for, just remove the cover and wash in the washing machine. And in return, you get a relaxing atmosphere at the spa.

Color palette

Of course, the favorite in the design of classic-style bathrooms is white and all its shades. The light gamut relaxes, sets up relaxation and solitude.

Among other things, light surfaces push the space apart and are in perfect harmony with the contrasting dark interior items.

Against the background of almost snow-white walls, dark woods used to make bathroom furniture look festive in contrast.

But also different from pastel, the color palette is not alien to the classical style. Discreet color combinations, but in bold shades create an incredibly positive and comfortable atmosphere. The combination of light beige with azure blue and deep chocolate colors made it possible to create a non-trivial image of the bathroom with a traditional classic setting.

The warm woody shades inherent in the natural material that was actively used in this bathroom create a special color atmosphere of the room.

The active use of gilded accessories and sandy shades in the stone decoration of one of the walls of the bathroom, made it possible to present the image of the room in light golden tones.

The use of wallpaper or tiles with a pattern, contributes not only to diversity in the color scheme of the room, but also to give personality to the bathroom.

Light blue shades of surfaces, coupled with snow-white plumbing, created an incredibly cool atmosphere in the bathroom. Original accessories and floral motifs in the picture and on the rug complement the resulting image of an elegant and elegant room.

Lighting system

The classic style in the interior of any room is characterized by the use of beautiful large-sized chandeliers and bathrooms are no exception. But, given the difficult combination of different zones within the same room, there may be a need for an additional light source - built-in lamps on the ceiling of the shower cabin or a table lamp on the dressing table, wall lamps near the sink.

A chic chandelier with an abundance of glass or even crystal elements is the perfect complement to a luxurious bathroom with a fireplace and artwork on the walls.

The bathroom is literally bathed in light thanks to a central chandelier with an intricate design, fixtures built into the mirrors and a lighting system integrated into the ceiling. Reflecting from many mirrors, light transforms the room and makes it infinite.

Despite the contrast of the bathroom, the design of the main chandelier immediately attracts attention.

Another example of how an extraordinary design of a pendant lamp can become a coordinating element of a classic interior.

Curtains in the bathroom

All designers are a little wary of textiles in bathrooms; some categorically do not use any decor for window decoration, for example. But there are situations when not only window openings need drapery.

To decorate the windows in the bathrooms of classical style, roller blinds or Roman curtains are most often used. Their concise appearance and ease of care bribe the creators of the decor.
