How to Decorate a Craftsman Bathroom

Select one color that is muted rather than bright. The color green would be olive and the color red would be toned down to a dull terra cotta. The color blue would tend to have a hint of gray; however, blue was seldom used in a craftsman home.

Choose chrome or polished brass for the sink and bathtub fixtures. Pick fixtures with a heavy appearance and simple in design.

Cover the floor with subway ceramic tile consisting mostly of white. Create a border trim using your chosen room color. Subway tile is 2-by-6 inch tile that is set in a common brick design.

Cover the bottom portion of the wall with tile or wainscot. Paint the wainscot and all the wood trim white.

Use baseboard that is 8-inches wide and seven-eighth inches thick. Window and door trim is also wide and thick. Choose baseboard and trim in a plain design.

Mount the sink to the wall without a vanity or use a pedestal-style sink. Choose white porcelain or enamel for the finish.

Opt for a claw-foot tub for an authentic look. Lay a solid color rug beside the tub.
