How to Decorate With a Copper Bathtub

Add wallpaper or wall paint in the warm colors of a sunset or cozy earth tones. Colors such as a rustic red, warm gold, taupe, sage green or a deep apricot enhance the copper tub.

Pick a shower curtain that displays a vintage or Southwestern theme in warm colors, depending on the look you desire. Choose accessories to match the accent colors in the shower curtain, such as curtains, toothbrush holders and bathroom organizers.

Add occasional tables or shelving units that have a vintage appeal to highlight the old-fashioned ambiance of the copper bathtub.

Install marble or wall tile that has streaks of gold, brown or other earth colors in the pattern. This creates balance and a feeling of unity with the attention the large bathtub brings to the space.

Lay hardwood flooring or linoleum that resembles a wood pattern on the floor. Use a wood look in accessories as well, such as a dark, rattan wastebasket or hamper.

Drape towels over the towel racks that accentuate the theme of the room. For instance, if you desire a Southwestern style, use towels with cactus or pottery appliques or a wide trim embellishment with an Aztec scene. Find towels with country embellishments, such as lace or scalloped trim to highlight a vintage style.

Invest in a copper sink, faucets, light fixtures and other bathroom decor with a copper or an antique gold appearance.

Hang wall art with antique gold or hammered copper frames. Choose prints that work well with the theme in the room, whether it is an old-fashioned country look or a Southwestern appeal.

Pick a rug to lay beside the copper bathtub that has a thick pile and is in one of the accent colors in the room.
