Nostalgia is skillfully combined with present-day practicality in the Retro Bathroom, and that’s what makes it so splendid. I will share with you some notions—like the use of vibrant tiles or a bathtub on legs—that might send your space spinning into a transformation.
And if we go overboard with geometric patterns, mess with some cool lighting forms, and style it out retro, your bathroom is just another timeless delight waiting to happen.
The 6 Best Retro Bathrooms
1. Mid-Century Modern Bathroom
Adopt a clean, modern design with impressive lines and unique forms. When it comes to defining modernism in this space, you really can’t go wrong with natural wood finishes and eye-popping geometric patterns.
Yet this kind of style has plenty of room for color (so long as it’s visually quiet), as well as for quirky, vintage, or even just plain crazy-looking fixtures. This space meets all the qualifications for being perfectly functional and perfectly stylish.
2. Art Deco Bathroom
Enter the world of the Art Deco bathroom, where strong geometric forms, sumptuous materials, and sleek lines make a bold statement. This retro-inspired look turns any bathroom into a space that feels both timeless and elegant.
3. Vintage Pastel Bathroom
I love the dainty and delightful aesthetic of bathrooms decorated in the style of vintage pastels. Oh!
The soft-hued calm and charming decor of retro spaces that seem reminiscent of another time. Yet, how perfectly unfussy and timeless they are, with their go-to nostalgic pastel palettes of mint, melon, and lemon; nostalgic decor fixtures like chromed towel racks and the classic “throne” toilet; and unfussy accents like seashells, pastel vases, and lots of rattan.
4. Industrial Retro Bathroom
This bathroom style melds raw materials such as exposed piping and brick with vintage plumbing, and the result is this rugged, nostalgic, and urban space. Here, the appeal of something retro collides with a more modern edge, and the result is a tough little bathroom that dares to break the mold.
5. Retro Futuristic Bathroom
Combining the timeless allure of nostalgia with sweeping, futuristic innovation, bathrooms of the retro-futuristic style capture all that was essence of past visions of the future. With their sleek lines, bold colors, and chrome accents, those lucky enough to have one of these beauties can enjoy a unique fusion of modern functionality and vintage elegance.
6. Space Age Pop Bathroom
Embrace the mid-century modern aesthetic with a Space Age Pop bathroom, where clean lines, bright colors, and unexpected details form a delightful whole. Picture yourself in a room clad in that era’s inventive materials, where playful patterns reign and the echoes of yesterday’s tomorrow tantalize your senses.
You’re in a unique bathroom that whatever’s-next-from-now vision just can’t rival.
