When most people think about eco-friendly ideas for the bathroom, water-saving toilets and low-flow shower heads immediately come to mind. Although I love (and encourage!) those ideas, there are also more aesthetically-focused “green” ideas to make your bathroom as beautiful as it is earth-friendly.
In a bathroom of one of my Knotting Hill Interiors clients, a beautiful chair was incorporated into their luxury interior design to camouflage the commode (Pictured below). If you have a vintage or antique chair with damage to the seating, re-purposing it in a similar way is a creative – and inexpensive! – way to add some unique interest to your bathroom!
Can you find the commode in this picture?! Designed by Knotting Hill Interiors.
Rather than buying new sink cabinets for your bathroom, substituting vintage or antique furniture to do the job is also a fabulous option! Take a look at some of these lovely examples….

I’m loving all of these, Kimberly. I REALLY like the creative way you hung the curtain by the shower.
Thanks, Tammy! So good to hear from you! You, being the window treatment girl that you are, it’s funny to see how you notice textiles so quickly in photos! Hope you are doing well!
Wonderful material. I’ll be likely to come back often.
I agree with you, I had a similar problem while thinking of bath remodeling salt lake city.
could you tell me what color the vintage faux-bamboo chest was painted in? Love the look.
