3 Retro Bathroom Style Ideas
When it comes to any bathroom renovation, tiles can play a huge part in creating a retro space that is buzzing with colour and character. It’s all about blending classic elements of bathroom design with those that are more contemporary to create a look that is eclectic and full of life. Whether your bathroom is small or large, here are our tips to create a retro bathroom that will wow whoever walks through the door.
Colourful Ceramic Tiles
Nothing screams retro like bright bold colours. Lively hues of dusty blue, mint and pink all made their appearances throughout bathrooms in the 80s, delivering a truly eye-catching look and feel. We are now seeing more and more people combine these colour palettes with both classic and modern fixtures for a wonderfully nostalgic feel. Combining two colours is a great way to bring this look into the bathroom and can be effortlessly attained with our
Nador Tiles in
Pink and
Mint. You can even pair them with rounded mirrors and vibrant accents for an eye-catching and modern throwback.
Bold Wallpaper and Patterns
Embrace a modern and timeless look by incorporating spontaneous patterns and wallpaper into the bathroom. For spaces such as cloakrooms, you can try out a classic dark blue
bathroom tile, such as our
Poitiers Indigo Gloss Tile, and pair it with characterful patterned wallpaper and modern details for the perfect combination. Similarly, our
Varadero Blue Geometric tiles bring the perfect hint of contemporary colour to traditional settings, especially when positioned in a unique formation that flows beautifully from the floor and up the wall.
Art Deco Elements
For those keen to create a bold and eccentric look, art deco features are perfect for a retro-inspired bathroom. They can also make a bathroom of any size feel more extravagant and elegant.
When achieving this look, we always recommend starting with the perfect base
floor tile, such as our classic
Kingston White Brillo tile. The soft natural swirling veins of the marble-effect design brings light into the room, providing a foundation for other layers of colour to be added in.Pops of pink and blue can then be incorporated to bring a more modern approach to the area. You can then finalise it with art deco hanging lights and a rounded mirror for classic curve appeal. The result is a truly to die for scheme that will certainly see you through the years.
