Vintage Style Meets Modern Functionality in Trending Bathroom Designs

Style is cyclical, and interior design trends will always change. What can keep a home, especially a bathroom, feeling fresh and exciting is incorporating vintage touches with modern functionality. Guests will appreciate the aesthetic of your bathroom, and your family will feel safe and comfortable in this intimate space.

Pastel Colors

Incorporating pastel colors into a modern bathroom is an easy way to give the space a more vintage feel. Tiled bathrooms in shades of pink, green, blue and green were a staple in American homes from the late 1940s to early 1960s. Today, color can be added in a more effective and tasteful way. Consider adding vibrant wallpaper to an accent wall, opting for a soft hue on a backsplash or colorful tiles in the shower. Balancing unique colors with more neutral tones will keep your bathroom looking organized. With pink walls, think striking white countertops. Pair textured subway tile with a simple, clean-lined vanity. Wallpaper-clad accent walls should be met by a cohesive flooring option.

Freestanding Bathtubs

When configuring a vintage-inspired bathroom, many choose to increase the wow factor of the space with a statement piece such as a freestanding bathtub. Advertisements from the turn of the 20th century asked, “Why shouldn’t the bathtub be part of the architecture of the house?” and modern homeowners agree. Freestanding bathtubs are easy to clean, are a great choice for families with children and pets, and they may offer special features including air jets, whirlpool versions and more. The AIRMADA AirJet Shower Drying System ensures the area around your bathtub remains dry and decreases slippery floors, allowing the whole family to safely enjoy bath time.

Wooden Vanities

Clean walls, matte fixtures and a solid wooden vanity are a perfect nod to the past. Wooden furniture gives the room a more organic feel and pairs beautifully with both neutral tones and vibrant colors. This natural material provides design flexibility throughout the rest of the space and is offered in a variety of shapes and styles. Choose a vanity with tapered legs to give the room a mid-century modern feel. Wall-mounted or “floating” vanities are perfect for those who want to show off a patterned floor tile or who require less storage space under the sink. Wider, double vanities offer more storage solutions and can be met on either side by custom cabinetry.

Classic Finishes

Now that you have installed your tile, painted your walls and placed your bathtub, it’s time to finish the bathroom by adding classic finishes. Keep your finishes consistent, meaning your faucets, cabinet knobs and shower fixtures coordinate. Whether you have chosen a traditional or steam shower for your space or if you want to keep floors dry around a bath, look no further than AIRMADA Drying Solution’s AirJet Shower Drying System Nozzles. These nozzles are available in eight designer finishes: brushed brass, brushed nickel, chrome, matte black, matte white, oil rubbed bronze, polished nickel and raw brass.
