Going for vintage classic designs incorporated into your bathroom can give it a classic, yet luxurious appeal that will fit well with rest of your household. The demand of change converted many vintage designs to a more modern and futuristic style - but this is not always the case.
It is true that vintage designs might seem out of place at this point in time, but we can never deny the elegant beauty what a vintage design can do to the household’s aura, the timeless appeal that cannot be seen in modern designs and styles.
Vintage Bathroom A Work Of Art
Designing your bathroom with vintage furniture and fixtures do add to the comfort of the place, as well as the picturesque and stylish look. Sink, faucet, bathtub, toilets, and accessories should be of the same theme so that your bathroom won’t appear as a hodgepodge of clashing styles and designs.
If size is not a problem, then you can go for vintage cabinets, closets, benches, and chairs to set the right mood. You can accentuate its beauty by incorporating vintage tiles into its design. You may use pastel colors or those with shades of brown, mahogany, and chocolate. These tiles can be used on your sink, counter-tops (if you have one in your bathroom), shower, walls, and so on.
Proper Lighting
To further improve the vintage look of your bathroom, providing the proper lighting can greatly enhance the overall quality of your place of comfort. Rather than using a single intensity light, you can utilize lighting controls where you can control it from dim to bright. This will allow you to set the mood for different activities, even a romantic one if you want.
Chose The Style You Want
Now that you have an idea on the important details for a vintage-styled bathroom, you now need to decide on what era would be perfect. There are 4 known styles to choose from, and these are:
1. Victorian. The Victorian-styled bathrooms are an abundance of stained glass, flowers, embroidery, and marble. This style is always flamboyant and luxurious, fitting the royalty of the Victorian age. Common colors are blue and red.
2. Art Deco. This theme can only be called glamorous; it emphasizes geometric designs and rhythmic patters including spheres and lines; and colors of the hue turquoise, burgundy, and corals.
3. The 50’s. For this style alone, color is the most important factor that will determine the 50’s design. Bright ones from sea-green to bubble-gum pink are the best colors for it. You can even use plastic tubs and accessories that are well known during this era. To sum it all up, as long as it’s bright and flashy, then it’s the 50’s.
4. The 60’s. This psychedelic age is well known for its cork flooring, metallic wallpapers, and wooden fixtures. Incorporating earth colors can turn your dreary bathroom into the roaring 60’s, as well as the organic materials popular during the era.
