Remodeling regret is real. That vibrantly colored shower might have seemed unique and sleek at first, but now it’s clashing with your need for something a little more relaxing and low-key.

Avoid making design choices that you will relent by going the traditional route. Below you will find a few timeless design ideas that will look great no matter how your taste evolves over the years!

Elegant Bathtub Bases

When remodeling your bathtub, you can’t go wrong with traditional white. White looks bright, clean, and integrates well into any look you’re going for. Sandbar, Almond, and Gray are also great color options. As for the material of your bathtub, modern acrylic is best. This durable material won’t interfere with your traditional oriented bathroom, but it will last much longer than old-fashioned bathtubs.

Classic Shower Bases

There are many shower base options that will complement a traditional bathroom style. Some of the most popular options include Valencia Granite, Pompeii Marble, and Bianco Travertine. These patterns create the sophisticated, high-end look that is typical of historic-looking bathrooms.

Vintage Wall Surrounds

When you want to create a vintage aesthetic, you can’t beat tile wall patterns. subway tile, diamond tile, and slate tile will complement any tub or shower you choose. Just make sure that you go with modern materials like nonporous acrylic and grout-free surfaces. You don’t want to deal with the stains and scrubbing that comes with older wall surrounds to get the look you’re going for—and you don’t have to!

Style Enhancing Accessories

For final touches that will tie your look together, update your hardware. Bronze and Brushed Nickel faucets, drains, and shower door frames are the way to go when you want to achieve a traditional look. You can also choose complementary convenience and accessibility items such as storage caddies, shelves, shower benches, and grab bars.
