Bathrooms in many Connecticut homes are being renovated and transformed into Victorian-style baths, which feature some of the elegance and simplicity of a revolutionary era. Using classic white as the foundation, these traditional bathrooms appear spacious, no matter the actual size of the room. The key to creating a classic bathroom design is the accessories and fixtures, which can be purchased brand-new or as refurbished antiques.

    Home builders are planning and designing exquisite features in white and creating a spacious bathroom design. Trends include the classic claw-foot bathtub, complete with wooden towel stands, vintage mirrors combined with classic freestanding furniture will highlight the look and feel of your bathroom. Design trend experts recommend classic apothecary jars filled with bathroom essentials such as soaps and oils for style. Traditional design experts recommend crème or pink rugs, towels and curtains to offset and highlight the classic white walls.

    No traditional bathroom would be complete without candles, which add a creative elegance, romance and practicality to the space. Connecticut homes are known for their historic look and feel, and now the classic and traditional bathroom design trends seems to have made a comeback.
