Tuscan Bathroom Decor
Bathroom decorating can be a difficult task. Since it is the room where you are your most private and often issues like water and mold have to be dealt with, hence bathroom decorating ideas can be complicated. A Tuscan bathroom looks as though it has been there forever! Vessel sinks, marble or tile floors, tumbled marble walls and metal wall sconces for lighting are typical aspects to Tuscan bathroom design themes. Round above counter sinks are distinctively European and are often used for Tuscan bathrooms. Important Aspects Color and Texture Colors are always an important aspect in creating a Tuscan effect. Generally colors depicting the earth naturally are usually used. Terracotta, Olive greens, Gold, Blues and natural greens are often used colors. Tuscan style tends to be quite rustic--cracked or crumbling plaster and stucco walls are the norm. Hand plastered walls type of texture creates a perfect Tuscan effect. Type of Stone The three most commonly used stones are granite, limestone and marble. Granite: it is strong, long-lasting and heat-resistant. This stone creates a stunning Tuscan style decorating focal point, but is expensive. Limestone: it is natural in appearance, but very absorbent and stains easily. It is typically used in flooring and for shower interiors. Marble: it is soft and porous recommended for bathrooms and floors. Unpolished marble is use to best complimenting this theme. Terra cotta vessels, rustic urns, hand-painted Italian ceramics and glass or metal containers clustered together, are Tuscan accents that give the bathroom an old world look. Tall glass canisters and glass bath cruets add a touch of refinement to the basic necessities of the Tuscan bath and are perfect for holding bath salts, oils and soaps. Stucco, stone, glass, wrought iron and terra cotta have been decorating basics for centuries and are ideal materials when creating Tuscan bathrooms.
