The classical vintage bathroom style that is popular today is influenced heavily by the designs that were found in homes during the early twentieth century.
The colors used at that time were predominantly light with shades of navy blue and dark green.
You can recreate the feel in part by having porcelain or marble tiles installed on the floor that would be reminiscent of a bygone age.
Vintage bathrooms would have also incorporated various fixtures and fittings that were common at that time.
