Interior "Classic"
The bath is installed in the very center of the room. Such seemingly trifles as hangers play an important role in creating the appropriate surroundings. It is best to select products of curved shapes and with gilding. As for mirrors and other accessories, it is desirable that they be made in the style of the Victorian era. Pastel-colored curtains will do.
Oriental interior
Walls should be tiled or dark marbled. On the wall is a large mirror framed in gold or red. Faucets and various plumbing fixtures made in gold will be a good addition to such an interior.
Bright ethnics
Spread some small straw rugs on the floor next to the tub. When decorating a room in this style, bright colors are allowed. Curtains should be light and original, for example, made of colored beads.
