Modern, With a Touch of Antique

Share |

The best thing about antique furniture is the story behind it, especially if the piece in question has been handed down from generation to generation. An antique bath vanity is your own piece of history, and a conversation starter amongst family and friends at dinner parties. But, it can also be your worst nightmare: things like rust, leaks, and wear and tear can turn the antique dream into a modern day nightmare. The worst thing about antique furniture is the amount of effort required on your part – chances are it needs to be refurbished, refinished, and proactive efforts need to be taken to ensure it stays beautiful and in prime working condition.

If you’re struggling between the options of a chic and modern bathroom tub or its beautiful, antique alternative, you can stop struggling. By investing in a modern tub that takes a classic approach you can have the best of both worlds: the classic, antique look with the ease and comfort of contemporary design. When it comes to classic bathroom tubs, nothing beats the freestanding claw foot tub. The chic, simple lines complimented by the old-school claw-like feet are a dream for those contemporary designers with a soft spot for the way things “used” to be.

Modern, With a Touch of Antique

And, your “antique look meets modern functionality” doesn’t have to end there. You can accessorize your bathroom tub with an antique bath vanity or floor to ceiling mirrors. By combining the functionality of contemporary bathroom furnishings with the retro look and feel of an old-school bathroom, the sky is the limit. Wouldn’t that bathroom tub look great standing on tiny black and white tiles? Can you already imagine yourself soaking in that massive tub by candlelight? Don’t give up your dreams of having an antique bathroom just because it’s not practical, opt for modern furnishings made in the style of antiques and you can have the look you want without the hassle.
