We are busy at the new house making changes and trying to keep the demo delicate, but it will take awhile before we get to bath in our bedroom. Unfortunately, that bath is covered in dark brown tile and granite and not a drop of white. So I need this inspiration! Classic White Bathroom Decorating Inspo: Traditional Style is a roundup of inspiring and charming white bathrooms with the potential to become springboards for your own spruce up, remodel or bath renovation. Not all the examples are French inspired, but you know I can’t resist all things European country!

Traditional Classic White Bathroom Decorating Ideas
Vintage Clawfoot Tub in the Bath
When the silhouette is as classic as a clawfoot tub, these beauties look beautiful whether the context is a luxurious chateau in Canada:

But what about a rustic 150-year old French farmhouse near Bordeaux?

Bathroom Vanity Vessel Sink
When you’re passionate about vintage or antiques, and you love repurposing them in order to extract function from them daily, a vessel sink can be a vintage bath’s best friend.

Shaker Style White Wood Vanities
When you want the look of your classic bath to stand the test of time and offer lots of practical function, Shaker style cabinetry fits the bill.

Plaster Walls & Chalky Finishes in a Sophisticated Bath
Sometimes a powder bath can reach lofty design heights in a way a sprawling master bath just cannot. Plaster walls, antiques, and refined details combine for sophistication and everyday elegance.
Humble Vintage Style in a Classic White Bath
In my own classic white master bath, a humble tufted vintage Louis style arm chair holds bath towels and serves as a functional perch. The addition of furniture elevates the cozy factor.

Mural Papers & Magnificent Moldings in a Bath
One of my all-time favorite baths features a stunning grisaille moment, an understated color palette, and rich details (some of which are delightfully unexpected!).

Bathroom Console Sinks
You might be surprised to see the variety of console sinks standing pretty now in the marketplace. The one I chose for a bathroom in our home has a modern farmhouse style fireclay basin that is a dream to live with.

Bath Design Tone on Tone Loveliness
There are so many luscious shades of white, cream, ecru, putty, alabaster, ivory, and snow from which to choose, and combining them creates magic.

Gold Hardware & Accents in the Bathroom
Something warm and wonderful happens when white and grey meet golden beauty. No need to overthink brass vs. silver tones for resale since your main objective ought to be pleasing your own eye, this moment.

I am designing 3 bathrooms at the moment in my latest home renovation so your inspirational post could not have come at a better time! I pinned away! Thank you!

Wow – can’t wait to see how your creativity blossoms in those spaces, Celia. Thanks so much for reading and pinning – I do appreciate the support. 🙂
Such a valuable blog you have written and it is very awesome. Keep writing such an impressive article.
Author
Keep visiting! 🙂
Seems like every time I come back to your website you have a new interesting thing for me to read. How do you stay so motivated? Do you research all of these posts before posting?
Author
If you are referring to this particular post – the research required is getting still and allowing myself to be a vessel, writing in a stream of consciousness style.
Doesn’t matter if a bathroom is modern or gameful. Important is good light and a kind of coziness. White is always a safe color in particular when you have in mind to sell your home in the future and you can revamp with towels or flowers in every color you like. And never forget a good working rainshower which is such a pleasure to get sprinkled strong or soft.

Great tips! I don’t have a rainshower in this house – we put a very fancy and HUGE shower with bodysprays in our former home which is always great for resale. 🙂
What a great renovation for your bathroom i really want a rainshower in my bathroom thanks for sharing this
