3 Retro Elements to Incorporate in Modern Bathrooms

“Retro” style isn’t limited to clothing, furniture or even music. It also has a significant influence on the bath and shower remodeling industry. While there have been a lot of developments in terms of design and technology in recent years, there are some timeless elements that are always in style. In this post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Madison shares four of the best retro elements you can incorporate into a modern bathroom.

Checkerboard Floor

During the 1920s and 30s, the checkerboard pattern was a popular choice for linoleum-tiled kitchens. It’s back with a bang if you’re looking to create a retro bathroom. If you want to make your bathroom feel more spacious, the diagonally positioned squares create the illusion that your bathroom is bigger than it really is. This pattern is a great change of style from most modern bathrooms that feature a single flooring color.

Clawfoot Bathtub

If you’re looking to spruce up your bathroom with the best that retro style has to offer, then a clawfoot bathtub is a great option. According to bathroom contractors, it’s used in the most luxurious bathroom setups in the world. Note that you will need to clean underneath a footed tub. If occasional cleaning isn’t an issue for you, then a clawfoot bathtub will be a great addition to your retro bathroom.

Vintage-Style Wallpaper

You can still get that retro pop for your bathroom even on a limited budget. This can be done by using vintage-style wallpaper reminiscent of the classics. In fact, retro wallpapers are widely available online or at your local hardware or home improvement store. The modern spin on vintage style mixes both old and new to breathe new life into your bathroom.
