- Pick an era and stick to it – 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s are all great for retro inspiration
- Add modern touches that are sympathetic to the style so it doesn’t just feel like an old room – like a freestanding bath or super sleek towel holders
- Experiment with colour and don’t be afraid to mix it up – green and pink, blue and yellow, orange and brown
- Stick to light tints on walls so the colour is not overwhelming and use a few statement pieces in stronger tones
- Wallpaper or artwork (or both) are great for evoking a bygone era
- The right tiles are essential – do your homework on the colours and patterns that will work best
Retro Flair
Make it work:
Traps to avoid:
- Mixing incongruous styles – like 70s paisley prints with 50s diner tiles
- Being too literal – after all, you don’t actually want a 1950s bathroom! Find clever ways to pay homage to the era with a modern aesthetic
- Making the room feel closed in. Remember that this is the bathroom, not the living room – so the style needs to be adapted for a smaller space
