Why It Works
Bathrooms are often the last room to get personality, making them the perfect canvas for eclectic expression. Bold patterned floor tiles immediately set the tone. A repurposed antique dresser as a vanity adds character that no stock vanity can match. Mixed metal fixtures — brass faucets with matte black towel bars — add intentional contrast. A small gallery wall or a collection of vintage mirrors transforms blank walls into conversation starters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1 How do I convert an antique dresser into a bathroom vanity?
Choose a dresser at counter height (30-34 inches). Cut an opening in the top for an undermount or vessel sink. Route plumbing through the back. Seal the wood with polyurethane for moisture protection. Many furniture restoration shops offer this service for $200-$500.
Q2 Can I mix metals in a bathroom?
Yes — mixed metals are a hallmark of eclectic design. The rule is to limit to two or three metals and distribute them intentionally. For example, brass faucets and mirror frame, matte black towel bars and hooks, chrome shower fixtures. Intero can preview the combinations.
