Vintage Sage Sanctuary: Custom Claw-Foot Tubs, Basins & Mirrors for a Heritage-Spa Bathroom

Enamel Slipper Tub × Sage Bead-Board Wainscot × Crystal Empire Chandelier—Quiet Luxury Bathed in Antique Greens

A slipper-back claw-foot tub—cast iron with triple-baked enamel—anchors this heritage-spa scene. Double walls hold 38 °C water for 45 min, while the hand-polished rim feels like porcelain silk. Polished-nickel filler and telephone-handset shower are CNC-milled, lead-free and PVD-sealed for 240-hour salt-spray durability.

Walls below dado height wear sage-green bead-board in moisture-resistant pine; above, a damask stencil washed in patinated grey softens reflected chandelier light. That chandelier—an Empire basket of cut crystal—scatters candle-warm sparkles across a marble-look porcelain tile floor in weathered teal.

Flanking the bath, an ornately carved gilt-oak mirror and a simple box-frame mirror balance maximal and minimal notes. An oak corbel shelf keeps apothecary soaps within reach; future wall niches can be lined in book-matched marble for grout-free hygiene.

Style & Colour Insights

1. Antique metal echo – repeat polished nickel in sconce bases, mirror bead and towel hooks.
2. Green layering – pair sage wainscot with greyed damask to avoid overpowering colour blocks.
3. Light hierarchy – chandelier as ambient, sconces as task, tub filler LEDs (optional) as accent.

Emerald Wainscot Elegance: Custom Claw-Foot Tubs & Brassware for a Neo-Classic Bathroom

Morning light pours through a steel-frame window, illuminating a slipper-shaped claw-foot tub. Its 18 mm mineral-composite shell keeps bathwater at 38 °C for 45 minutes; the exterior accepts any RAL/NCS colour, though clients often choose this timeless ivory gloss. Hand-cast brass lion feet receive a triple-layer gilt patina, matching the deck-mounted telephone filler whose ceramic inserts echo classic porcelain.

Walls are divided horizontally: the lower register wears a deep-emerald wainscot in MDF moisture-resistant board, finished with low-sheen polyurethane; the upper field is soft dove grey. A plaster crown and jet-black cornice frame the ceiling, while an aged-bronze chandelier with linen shades brings warmth.

Underfoot, ink-wash porcelain planks mimic hand-painted rice paper, their asymmetry celebrated by search engines for unique imagery (and by feet for R10 slip resistance). A pair of gilt-framed botanical sketches completes the neo-classic narrative.

Styling Tips

1. Metal echo – repeat brushed gold in sconces, picture frames and cornice beading.
2. Palette balance – pair emerald wainscot with dove-grey upper walls to keep depth without darkness.
3. Texture layer – mix glossy tub, satin paint and linen curtains for tactile richness.
