Old Bathroom Renovation Ideas

MID-CENTURY CHANDELIER

Thanks to a pair of brother architects, this flat on Paris's Right Bank includes a dark and moody aesthetic that upgrades classic French design for the 21st century. The master bath retains a Saarinen armchair, a 1950s American dining table, and a 1960s chandelier. The market is clad in hand-cut glass-mosaic tiles adorned with gold leaf, the walls are of Italian marble, and the floor is tiled with marble and gold-leafed-glass mosaics.

VENDOME SCONCES

This guest bath includes Vendome sconces by Thomas O'Brien for Visual Comfort, a salvaged 1920s bathtub and pedestal sink, and a Burmese teak mirror in this Bellport, New York home.

VINTAGE ITALIAN CHANDELIER

The master bath of Alice Childress and Christopher Daniels's downtown Manhattan loft, built with the help of Courtnay Daniels Haden, carries a classic Italian chandelier, an antique freestanding marble tub, and an inherited 18th-century painting. The custom-made vanities are outfitted with Caesarstone countertops and Kohler sinks; the sink and tub fittings are by Barber Wilsons & Co.

SIMPLE SCONCES

Simple lighting offers striking contrast to the busy Finnish wallpaper in the 1950s adorning the walls of this Manhattan apartment powder room, decorated by Katie Ridder. Hanging over a Waterworks sink, a FontanaArte mirror echoes the wall colour.

DRIPPING CHANDELIER

Monique Lhuillier's bathroom in Bel Air showcases a custom-made lighting fixture by Foundry, white-oak cabinetry, and a picture by George Hoyningen-Huene.
