The color for excellence of the sanitary ware is glossy white, but now on the market there are sanitary ware of all shapes, colors and finishes, from shiny to opaque passing through metallic decorations. The start of the production of colored sanitary ware originated twenty years ago, when production in this sector underwent a real revolution. So let’s find out how to furnish a bathroom with sanitary in the 80s style.

The 80s: the turning point in the production of sanitary ware

The 1980s represented an epochal turning point in various sectors, including that of bathroom furnishings. We are in the years in which the way of producing sanitary fixtures changes: in industry we go from an almost totally manual production to a fully automated one. This evolution has made it possible to increase production and expand the range of products.

Fashions change, trends evolve, trends change, but very often they return. After years of drastic changes in the design of the various furnishing elements, in fact, the 80’s style sanitary ware are back in fashion. Also thanks to the numerous proposals carried out by designers and planners from all over the world. But what are the characteristics of the 80’s style sanitary ware?

80’s style sanitary ware: shapes and lines

First of all, the concept behind the sanitary ware changes. If before these elements had only a functional role, from now on the aesthetic aspect is also enhanced. So the goal changes, which becomes that of offering a product that is not only a basic necessity, but which in all respects becomes a furnishing solution capable of making the bathroom unique.

To achieve this, the first things to evolve are shapes and lines. Classic lines are abandoned to the advantage of curves, shapes soften, become more welcoming and comfortable. The sanitary fixtures are made with soft and rounded lines, almost as if to recall the sinuosity of the Mediterranean woman.

80’s sanitary ware: colors

In this era, furnishing with minimalism was not an option, the Scandinavian style was unknown and the classic style went out of style. In recent years the trend was to combine different patterns, colors, materials and shapes, while still managing to maintain harmony and balance. The colors represent one of the main and most characteristic factors of the period: the shades vary from pink to gray, from blue to black. The colors are bright and are often combined with the presence of colored tiles with floral or geometric decorations and important lighting.
