The 1900s had luxurious bathroom fixtures. Compare them with today’s bathroom fixtures to recreate a vintage bathroom design.
Bathroom Fixtures
Sumptuous bathrooms are not a modern invention; on the contrary, the bath was not only a religion with the ancient Greeks, but a luxury to the early Italians. Therefore, when one envisions a vintage bath design for today’s modern home, he should not immediately look to a dark wood paneled bathroom with a boxed-in metal bathtub.
