Seating options for your vintage bathroom design

Designing a luxury master bathroom can give you an oasis to unwind in after a long day. Additionally, when you have a large space, you have more freedom to incorporate elements that promote tranquility and rejuvenation. Seating within a bathroom serves many purposes from form to function.

When your bathroom has been inspired by 19th century vintage design, a level of elegance is achieved. The curvature of clawfoot tubs and other antique fixtures are a great source of style to complement your seating. Here are just a few options you can add to your luxury space:

Sofas
A plush sofa with colorful pillows is a great addition to a bathroom. While they’re available in a range of patterns, simple styles work best. In a vintage bathroom, a neutral cream would work nicely with a woven fabric in a raised texture. If your bathroom is larger, a love seat can be a good option. Place it near a window for an optimal view of nature’s offerings. Additionally, smaller arm chairs are suitable for this space. Choosing a style with a clawfoot will add a spa feel to your bathroom.

Chairs
In vintage design, chairs with ornate armrests are popular. You can match the fabric to curtains or choose a statement color or print. Chairs can be placed against empty walls or underneath vanities when not in use.

Benches
This type of seating works well when space is limited. Since many benches don’t have armrests it takes minimal room. Benches are perfect for underneath window bays, or near a vanity.

Stools
For many, stools are a go-to choice for small bathrooms. They serve a purpose while not taking up much space. Choose metal in standing showers, but make sure the feet have a strong grip. Additionally, stools match most vanities well. The models with curved bases put a spin on the style in an elegant piece of furniture.

Ottomans
This type of seating and footrest serves multiple purposes. Place it underneath a sink or near a bath for an impromptu chair. Covered ottomans are available in a range of fabrics. A simple striped style in a woven fabric can mimic the clean look of the space while incorporating a
refined pattern. Antique wood ottomans routinely have ornate feet that embodies vintage bathroom design.
