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 —Ā 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. Ā 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! TheĀ polished nickel vintage style claws are perfect with theĀ 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!

1. Teak Bathtub Caddy 2. Laura Mercier Almond Coconut Honey Bath 3. Lavender Dot Neck Pillow

4. COCOCOZY Soy Candle 5. Korres Wild Rose & Vitamin C Sleeping Facial

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!

xo,

    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.

Keep it simple. No need for bells and whistles an Keep it simple.  No need for bells and whistles and fancy things to make your house a home.  In this picture, a plant, two chairs I found at the flea market, a layered rug situation and some modern art...de-cluttered space can be equally as inviting as one filled with memories and treasures.  If you are stuck with how to decorate, I say keep it simple.  Purge and start with the basics.  Full disclosure, this is a shot of my living room from a few years ago when I first moved in...I didn’t even have drapes up when this was taken.  I have since added pieces and changed out furniture and added a 2nd sofa...but it started super simple and it was lovely back then.  When the world is swirling around us and making no sense, how are you keeping things simple at home?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last year.  Clueless as to what was to come.  Was in Paris, with my mom, enjoying her summer apartment in the middle of the 6th arrondissement.  I had just left the U.K. visiting friends for a few days in London and the Cotswolds.  None of us knew that this summer 2020 would be so different.  Today, I can only hope this time of tumult and great divides leads somehow to a future of calm and harmony.  Going backwards in time is not an option.  Pushing forward is.  Happy Sunday to you.  Where were you last summer?  Where do you imagine you’ll be next? Xoxo #socococozy #bringstylehome
Incredible living room before and after as designe Incredible living room before and after as designed by my good friend Steve Jones @bettershelter!  I went on a tour today.  I also went on a tour a year ago when he first got the house.  See my stories. Swipe to see what this room looked like before.  Life lesson from a room transformation:  When faced with the daunting and not so pretty, look to do the work, and you can make changes to bring  out what is good.  Right?  This home by the way is going on the market soon and is in one of my favorite parts of town, View Park.  What changes have you made lately that have turned bad into good? #socococozy #bringstylehome #remodeling #homerenovation #californiadreaming
ā€œBe patient with yourself it has been a funky fe ā€œBe patient with yourself it has been a funky few months in the world.ā€ My friend Manon texted this advice to me today.  She is right.  A little patience and a lot of kindness to yourself and to others during these unusual times will go a long way.

Am in my living room right now looking at these pretty flowers in that white urn I found lying around.  The urn works (see Flower Power highlights for backstory). Thinking on who I might send one of these bouquets to today as a little act of kindness.  Still working on the patience piece of her advice! 🤪 Who might you send flowers to?  How can you be more patient with yourself? Happy Saturday!
