Your bathroom is an area meant for privacy and I can't think of a better way to enjoy it then to remodel it with a timeless and modern retro Interior Design.
Whether or not you know how to decorate you can get a retro decorating design in your bathroom by changing little things, for instance painting and coordinating your towels and shower curtain to give your room a little bit of the past. Some things to consider when redecorating include floors, fixtures, accessories and wall color in addition to your hamper and scale.
Your flooring should balance your overall design style, but if it's too much work to put new floors in your bathroom then you can mask your existing floors by using small rugs with a retro design. If new floors are in your budget, consider using vintage pattern linoleum or wood floors.
Lighting is key in any room and the bathroom is no exception. To match your retro decorating design, you might want to think about the style of fixtures in conjunction with the type. Many bathrooms can benefit from a recessed light system together with overhead lighting. While you will be going for a retro style, you might want to consider installing vintage lights with reproduction lighting but try to avoid anything which is in poor repair.
You dont have to buy coordinating hamper, scale, and linen rack but the bathroom should maintain lots of retro style furniture. To really enhance the retro design style, try using items with a retro look but in new condition.
A critical change to ponder when decorating your bathroom with a retro decorating Interior Design is what you put on the walls. For this decorating style the the colors can make or break the look - take a look at working with vintage color combinations and colors specific to the era. For 1930's you want green and cream, 1940's - red and white and the 50's and 60's orange, blue and red either in your wall color or your accessories. Try using a vintage pattern wallpaper on the walls, or if you want something different go with paint. You don't need to go all out and if you are afraid of a bit of color, just paint the walls a neutral palette and add the color in your accents.
Decorative accessories are a must to pulling your retro decorating look together. You can dramatically alter the appearance of your room just by changing the accessories! Concentrate on buying towels, shower curtain and toothbrush holder and cup, in in colors that compliment your retro design style. You'll be pleased at how simple and inexpensive it is, and what a huge difference these changes make! Be sure to include loads of antique store finds together with vintage pieces and you should even try some reproductions of vintage nick nacks and wall art to really spruce up your bathroom. Additional touches such as yard sale pieces from other eras can make your room seem like it was done by a professional.
Window treatments can can enhance your retro decorating style. There are many treatments that can enhance this decor, particularly if you coordinate them with other elements in the room, but you probably want to avoid anything too modern. To have a magnificent look in your bathroom think about using a genuine curtain or drape from the era that can still be purchased at yard sales and auctions for reasonable money or new window treatment made in the retro style.
One vital decorating area that we sometimes forget about when decorating is the wall space. You can make even the plainest walls look fabulous with beautiful paintings and wall art. Try applying hanging vintage paintings or posters - either from the era or reproductions. to your bathroom walls to really bring out the vintage appeal of your retro Interior Design.
Designing a fantastic retro look in your bathroom can be as simple or involved as you want it to be. Either way, working on the details and making sure you match your furniture and decorative items will help you coordinate a great new retro decorating theme that you'll love to show off to your friends!
