18. Classic Traditional Wainscoting and Marble

18

If you prefer a timeless look that will never go out of style, a classic traditional design is the way to go. This aesthetic relies on elegant architectural details and high-quality materials. Install beautiful white wainscoting or beadboard panels on the lower half of the walls, painted in a crisp semi-gloss white. For the sink, choose a classic undermount white porcelain basin set into a polished Carrara marble countertop. A traditional two-handle bridge faucet in polished nickel adds a historic, refined touch. Use classic hardware like crystal or porcelain knobs on the cabinetry, and hang a framed landscape painting on the wall to give the room the sophisticated feel of a formal living space.
