The decor look

It was important that the bathroom suit the character of the 1920s home, so vintage-style fixtures and classic finishes like marble were favoured. Furthermore, the original baseboards and mouldings were carefully preserved.

This free-standing bathtub has a similar feel to a clawfoot one but has a sleeker shape. The vintage-style fixtures with cross handles and porcelain details are a nod to the home's era.

Layout

In the narrow, rectangular room, the bathtub was smartly placed along the wall with the sloped ceiling. On the opposite wall, a pedestal sink doesn't take up a lot of floor space.
