How to Choose Bathroom Fixtures
An early American bath? An unheard-of luxury to an authentic early American, but today’s consumers can carry their favorite decor into the bathroom. You can have bath fixtures that gibe with early American, arts and crafts, Shaker, Victorian or classical decorating styles, with fixture manufacturers venturing beyond the ordinary tub, sink and toilet combinations of recent memory.
In the past, plumbing fixtures had limited styling, so most consumers let their builder or plumber choose a fixture for them. The last 20 years, however, have seen far more sophisticated detailing and styling that allows homeowners to carry the theme of the rest of the home into the bath. Go to a professional plumbing contractor if you want to take advantage of this trend.
Among the newer offerings:
• Kohler. The company’s Portrait Suite collection features clean, traditional lines that coordinate with Victorian, early American or country decorating themes. The Vintage and Revival Suites also work with traditional styles.
• American Standard. Traditional stylings that work with arts and crafts and Shaker styles come in warm, natural earth and water tones.
• Universal Rundle. The Nostalgia Collection is a coordinated line of delicately detailed fixtures inspired by early American styling. It works well with arts and crafts and Shaker decor. A Contempo collection is aimed at consumers who want a more modern design, featuring softer, more rounded contours.
• Eljer. The Century Collection has classic double rolled edge and is offered in a variety of both soft and strong colorings – including onyx, ruby, sage and island sea.
