How can I create old-world luxury in my bathroom?
Most of us spend more time in the bathroom than we realize. The bathroom is the place where some families meet up and talk while getting ready to leave the house. It should be a calm place to sit and chat, or relax while you’re soaking in the tub. The timeless charm of old- world design is perfect for the bathroom because it’s elegant, luxurious and eclectic. Follow these steps to achieve old-world luxury in the loo:
Drape your bath in luxurious fabrics.
Hang an elegant chandelier for ambiance.
Create a relaxing sitting area for casual conversation with an upholstered chair.
Create a focal point with a European medallion design in the floor.
Tie the design together with European-style accessories like candelabras and urns.
Bring in plants and greenery for an even more soothing atmosphere.
