11 Two-Toned Clawfoot Tubs

May 15, 2018
  • Share

We’ve talked about dreamy freestanding tubs before, but now I want to chat about two-toned clawfoot tubs!

I just bought a vintage clawfoot tub for my latest design project — and like most of my finds, it’s in great shape but needs just a bit of refurbishing.

Full disclosure, I never in my life thought I would want a clawfoot tub… it seemed a little too quaint for me. Never say never, I guess, because now I’m obsessed with the idea of having a two-toned clawfoot bathtub — black and white in particular.

Below I’ve rounded up some of my favorite photos of the trend for inspiration!

Black, white and fabulous all over. This timeless color scheme combines subway wall tiles and hexagon floor tiles for an extra dose of drama.

This bathroom designed by Katie Hackworth is perfection — the doors, the Spanish floor tile, the freestanding tub … I love it all!

A modern bathroom design that I’d have no problem enjoying a relaxing bath in. Love how the black tub is complemented by the black accent wall.

This stunning bathroom can be found inside a charming home in Italy’s remote village of Giuggianello. I love the idea of enjoying a relaxing bath with a view of the gorgeous garden. Fun fact: The cast-iron tub was picked up on a Rome street. Not a bad find, right?!

These fish scale floors paired with the gold accents from the claws and mirror are everything! I could use some rest and relaxation in this room right about now!

The drama! Don’t be afraid to take a risk with color — this black and white combination is so sleek, chic and modern!

A little fun fact, Jenna Lyons (former creative director and president for J.Crew) started the trend way back when she showed off the tub in her former Brooklyn brownstone.  Somehow she modernized the tub in one design swoop! Now the two-toned tub is a staple… I’m in.

Ok, ok, I know I said I was focusing on black and white clawfoot tubs… but how beautiful is this light teal and white combination?!

This en suite French bathroom is oh, so glamorous! The polished nickel vintage style claws are perfect with the gray clawfoot bathtub and nickel and glass etagere.

This tub technically isn’t two-tone as it’s white on the inside and bottom, but I would be remiss not to include this beauty with fabulous gold details. I could run a bath with a glass of wine right now!

Simple and unfinished, yet very welcoming! The all white room and subway tiling makes the black tub pop.

While you’re here, I think these bath time essentials (below) will pair perfectly with any clawfoot tub!

I understand that people have strong feelings about the two-tone clawfoot tub style — some are totally into it while others, not so much. I’m trusting my gut on this as I’ve already purchased a tub (no turning back now!), but I’m curious to know what others think.

So, thoughts?? Give me a shout!

    Love the two tone clawfoot tubs. It looks like black and white seem to be the most popular, but for me, a beautiful verbena green would make me very happy! I’ve seen one and it was lovely. Go with the two-tone and choose the color that makes you happy.

A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not overpowering, just enough to warm everything up, walls, upholstery, even the smallest details.
It shifts the mood completely. Calmer, softer, and a little more lived in.
Save this if you’re leaning toward softer, warmer spaces. 🌸

What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so hard to look away from is the deliberate clash Sophie Dries @sophiedries_ created and didn’t try to resolve.
The bones of the apartment are pure Haussmann: ornate cornicing, carved boiserie, a marble fireplace with a gilded mirror. Everything a 19th-century Parisian apartment should be. Then she placed a near-black dining table with brass-legged stools into the middle of it. A raw concrete-look bathroom behind the grandeur. Dark, sculptural objects on surfaces that were built for delicate things.
It works because she didn’t try to blend the two, she let them sit in contrast. The apartment feels lived-in and specific because of it.
→ Save this if you’re mixing old architecture with contemporary furniture.

From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the pap From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the paper lantern just fits. It softens the room, diffuses the light, and rounds out even the sharpest architectural edges without demanding any attention. 🏮
Are you into paper lanterns, or do you prefer a more structured statement light? 🧐

Streets of #Paris. 📍 Rue de Castiglione — Laid ouStreets of #Paris. 📍
Rue de Castiglione — Laid out under Napoleon in the early 1800s, this neoclassical street connects Place Vendôme to the Tuileries Garden in one clean, symmetrical line.
Place de Furstenberg — A tucked-away square in Saint-Germain-des-Prés that was once home to the painter Eugène Delacroix, and still feels like little has changed.
Les Antiquaires on Rue du Bac — A street with centuries of history, now best known for its cluster of antique dealers trading in furniture, paintings, and curiosities and home to @les_antiquaires_paris bistro which is an easy spot to grab a bite near the Seine.
Musée du Louvre — Built as a medieval fortress in the 12th century, it became a royal palace, then the world’s most visited museum, home to the Mona Lisa and tens of thousands of other works.
Église Saint-Sulpice — Paris’s second-largest church, with a gnomon installed inside to track the sun’s position and help calculate the liturgical calendar.
Les Deux Magots — The Saint-Germain café where Simone de Beauvoir, Sartre, and Hemingway once gathered, and a lasting symbol of Paris’s literary culture.
Place Vendôme — Commissioned under Louis XIV, this octagonal square is anchored by the Vendôme Column, cast from cannons captured at the Battle of Austerlitz.
Shops, people, and buildings that make you stop for a second and look up. Every corner feels different. Old, detailed, and full of life. Sometimes this is the best part. Just being here. ❤️

Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment was designed to feel like a little piece of Beirut — a pied-à-terre that keeps her connected to Lebanon while living in France.
Architect Carl Gerges @carlgergesarchitects built the whole interior around warmth and softness: a caramel sofa, a pink kitchen, milky whites throughout. Nothing sharp, nothing cold. The palette reads as indulgent without trying. It’s the kind of space that feels like it was chosen for comfort first and aesthetics second, even though both are clearly considered.
What’s easy to miss is the restraint underneath it all. The softness works because it’s disciplined. Every piece earns its place in the same tonal story.
→ Save this if you’re building a warm, tonal interior from scratch.
