No matter how fast we move forward in our lives, nostalgia catches up with all of us. In the realm of interior design, too, the situation is similar. According to several interior decorators in Bangalore, homeowners often want little elements of vintage style to be included in their home design. The bathroom is one of the best spaces for this purpose, as it lets you maintain the subtlety of this design without compromising on comfort and functionality.
If you fall into the same category of homeowners, this blog is for you. Here, we will discuss some of the tips to give your bathroom a retro look.
The easiest and most cost-effective way to give your modern bathroom a vintage vibe is to simply add old-school wallpapers. Doing this will ensure that even if you add nothing more for interior décor purposes, you can still achieve an old-timey bathroom design. You can also choose other wallpaper designs such as Victorian wallpapers with floral patterns and designs, or polka-dot wallpapers to give your bathroom a retro look. You can also go with classic Hollywood-inspired geometric pattern wallpapers, if you are something of a movie buff.
There are a ton of vintage-style bathroom floor tile options that can give your contemporary bathroom a touch of class without affecting the old-time appeal. You can go for the penny tile design, subway ceramic tile design, Greek key style tile design, checkerboard tile design, or hexagonal tiles. You can also choose from a variety of vintage bathroom tile colours such as sage or mint green, seafoam blue, dark blue, lighter shades of pink and yellow, and, of course, the classic brown colour tiles.
Another great way to add a vintage appeal to your bathroom is having traditional-looking and old-fashioned storage solutions. You can go for retrograde iron rods to hang towels and robes, wall-mounted cabinets, wooden cabinets with glass doors, cabinets with framed mirrors on the doors, pedestal shelves and more. These storage ideas will make your bathroom not only visually attractive but also add a certain old-school charm to it. You can also have retro-style toothbrush holders and wooden toothbrush to further add to the vintage charm of the bathroom.
In the process of creating a modern bathroom design with vintage looks, the role of the colour palette is undeniable. There are a number of colour palettes that give a trendy yet traditional look to your bathroom, such as eggshell white, cobalt blue, sage green, and many more. In addition to that, you can also choose colour palettes with a combination of two or more colours, such as black and white, white and yellow, brown and black with a touch of gold, brown and gold, dark blue and white, etc.
The kind of aura a space exudes is highly dependent on its colour scheme. If you want a lively, refreshing vibe, you should go for a yellow colour palette, whereas for more sophisticated and elegant spaces, darker themes are your go-to choice.
To add a touch of whimsy to your bathroom through fixtures, you can have several interior décor ideas incorporated into your bathroom design. You can have antique faucets on your sinks and tubs, golden knobs on doors and drawers, porcelain sinks, toilet seats with wooden covers, vanity mirrors with antique frames and much more to give them a dated look. Furthermore, you can also enhance this look by having a classic clawfoot bathtub or an in-the-tub shower with an antique shower head.
Lighting plays an important role in enhancing the look of any space. But when it comes to bathrooms, we think that an artful integration of natural and artificial light is the way to go. In order to ensure sufficient illumination while maintaining the vintage aesthetics, you can have strategically placed pendant lights, sconces, or LED light bulbs with yellow hues. Additionally, you can have top-of-the-wall ventilation units, skylights or windows with roller blinds to ensure sufficient natural light and fresh air.
To make sure that your contemporary bathroom exudes the bygone era’s vintage vibes, it is essential to add some extra interior décor items. These items of décor can be anything from vintage wall posters to ceramic flower pots & vases, books or magazine holders, vintage bins & baskets, antique soap cases, shower curtains, and furry doormats.
