1. Black and white, always a classic: this bathroom with fixtures from The English Tapware Company is as close to the original style of the 1920s as possible. Embedded medicine cabinets, small black and white floor tile, and a clawfoot tub drive home this vintage look.

2. Stand Mounted Basins: this style of sink is quintessential to the bathrooms of the beginning of the 20th century. With a cleaner profile, they are perfect for smaller spaces and can also be used to hang hand towels.

3: Art-Deco Glam: for a more opulent spin on the 1920s bathroom, incorporate Art Deco elements such as globe sconces, large mirrors and contrast panelling.

Design: Laura Gonzalez

4. Simple and Ornate: great design is all about contrasts. Statement pieces, such as this Herbeau washbasin, require the rest of the tiling and design to remain as simple as possible. Large square tiles serve as a clean backdrop for the classic fixtures and patterned encaustic tile.

5. White tile with contrasting walls: a signature feature of 1920s-style bathrooms is to have the tile cover only a portion of the wall. Using contrasting colors such as charcoal, mint green, or even blush can create that signature vintage look.
