When most people decide to remodel aspects of their home one of the first rooms they like to change is the bathroom. However many people look at the bathroom and because great remodeling ideas don’t just spring to mind they put it into the ‘too hard basket’. In reality with most bathrooms being relatively small in size it is an ideal room to start Your remodeling project. Additionally you can often successfully remodel bathroom areas for a fairly modest outlay.

If you are short of inspiration for your bathroom remodeling project perhaps you should consider going back to the good old 1930’s for some top ideas.

A Time of Classic Geometric Design

The good old 1930’s were the times when home designs were particularly adventurous and builders and home designers were extremely reactive from a visual perspective. For example, in the 30’s home design was all about colors and geometric designs. Can you remember visiting the home of an elderly relative who bought their home in the 30’s era and seeing all the odd looking wallpaper? Well it was probably very popular and modern back then in the 30’s.

That does not have to mean that you have to go out and select the most bizarre patterned wallpaper from the 30’s era to suit your 30’s bathroom remodeling project. If you do like wallpaper patterns that really do stand out, then it is a good idea to choose a wallpaper that shows geometric designs such as various line pattern which were some of the most popular from that era.

If you don’t already know, 30’s bathroom remodeling was very much influenced by the Edwardian era, which was originally based very much on the Victorian style. A good area in the bathroom to concentrate your remodeling efforts on is around the sink and the bathtub. If you have enough money to spend on your 30’s bathroom remodeling project you may may want to consider getting solid, treated oak wood for these areas.

You may also want to change the bathtub and shower to reflect the 30’s era. Most baths and fixtures in this time were made out of porcelain and they wre generally suspended from the floor by brass ‘feet’. There are a number of bath manufacturers who produce replica copies of this type of bath. we suggest you go on line and see if you can find a manufacturer who supplies one of your local retailers.

When it comes to deciding on the overall color scheme we would advise that the most popular color to use in 30’s bathroom remodeling is white and you can get fixtures and surrounds all in white quite readily.
