How do you organise a vintage bathroom? To create an environment that 'catapults' anyone who crosses the threshold of the room into the past, you need to take great care when choosing each individual furnishing element. This seventies-inspired style is one of the latest trends in interior design and continues to influence the personal tastes of many people who are faced with the decision of what furniture to bring into their home and, in particular, into their bathroom. Let us find out together what the characteristics of a vintage bathroom are and what ideas and tips can help us realise them.
What are the characteristics of a vintage bathroom?
Sanitary ware and furnishings for a vintage bathroom should convey a sense of nostalgia and, at the same time, elegance in the bathroom. The choice should fall on furniture with classic shapes that evoke a timeless taste and on decorations which give attention to the smallest detail. Indeed, decorations play an important role in such a bathroom, as do the sanitary facilities. Sanitaryware in particular gives the room the extraordinary ability to 'transport' anyone who crosses the threshold to an era that is particularly appreciated for its elegance. In this sense, sanitaryware with a retro touch is characterised by a design, shapes and delicately rounded lines that immediately evoke past eras. As far as materials are concerned, opt for ceramic washbasins, bidets and toilets, perhaps with the help of small details such as a wooden toilet seat, to soften the effect of an all-white bathroom while adding a touch of vibrancy. Hanging sanitaryware, which has a decidedly more modern design, should be avoided. An excellent proposal in this regard is the sanitaryware of the Retro collection, where you can choose between different variants, including the closed toilet and the low or high cistern, a detail that is certainly much appreciated when we talk about vintage-style bathroom furniture.
If the space available allows, it would be better to use a bathtub instead of a shower cubicle for this type of bathroom. A claw-foot bathtub can prove to be an invaluable component when it comes to creating a wellness corner of impeccable elegance. In this case too, the Retro collection comes to our aid, offering, among other things, a sophisticated claw-foot bathtub that can be chosen in the more classic white or black version to create a truly impressive effect.
The elegance of the bathroom is complemented by the pedestal washbasin. The washbasin is always the protagonist of bathroom design and is often the first element we see when we cross the threshold of the room. A model such as the 100 cm washbasin from the Retro line, with its design that recalls the subtlety of times gone by, cannot fail to embellish the bathroom with simplicity and elegance thanks to its curved and rounded shapes.
