Learn more about Bathroom Renovations: Why Federation Styled Bathrooms Remain Popular Today
Sydney bathroom renovations for houses, apartments or units.
Federation bathrooms have remained popular for one very good reason, they are simply beautiful and create a sense of luxury in your bathroom quite like no other style. Federation styled bathrooms not only provide that classic look and feel of yesteryear, they allow a more opulent style. This type of bathroom opens up options for an intricate tiling design with the use of tessellated, feature, capping and skirting tiles and is commonly seen with a distinctive patterned tiled floor.
When considering federation style bathrooms, claw baths, antique mirrors and tapware come to mind, although it is a matter of preference as to how true to the nostalgic design to be. Many homeowners simply wish to add a hint of antique styling to their bathrooms by incorporating a just a few aspects of federation style with say perhaps tapware, mirror or floor tiling.
Whether adding just a hint of nostalgia or recreating a complete period style bathroom, federation bathrooms are truly stunning and will create a sense of luxury in your home.
