Vintage bathrooms manage to recreate all the charm of the styles of the past. Obviously, creating a vintage-style bathroom it’s not only for those who look with nostalgia at the trends in vogue years ago and try to recreate them in their own bathroom, but also for who want to reinterpret modern design in an eclectic key, creating an atmosphere of unique and fascinating contrast. But what are the main elements that characterize the vintage bathroom?
The bathroom in vintage style
Recreating a vintage style in bathroom request a special attention to every decorative and functional element. From bathroom fixtures to mirrors, from taps to details such as fabrics or lighting, there are many elements that must be taken into consideration. Very often, the project of recreating a vintage-style bathroom comes from the desire to enhance recovered elements such asclassic architectural aspects, dated coatings or simply a piece of furniture found in the markets.
Essential elements in a vintage bathroom are classic style bathroom fixtures – such as those from the Fidia collection or those inspired by the ancient English productions of the Efi collection – and the inevitable Victorian-style bathtubwith feet. Sanitary items of timeless elegance that create a refined atmosphere in any environment.
The modern-retro mix
Yet vintage doesn’t necessarily mean classic. Mixing vintage and modernin the bathroom is a growing trend in interior design. But, there are rules to follow to give balance and coherence to the contamination of modern and vintage.
The first tip is to follow the 80/20 rule to optimize the mix, choosing 80% of contemporary style furnishings and inserting vintage elements only for the remaining 20%. In this way, vintage and modern furniture can be mixed without exaggeration. The contamination of modern and vintage gives personality and creates a contrast of sure interest.
The second tip is do not mix with too many different styles, avoiding furnishing elements that clash with each other. Vintage and modern combination in bathroom must be measured with care. Therefor, it is absolutely better to avoid any mixing with other styles that would make everything appear as a mixture of heterogeneous elements and not a desired and thought combination.
