Upstairs Bathroom
Make it work: 1. Pick an era and stick to it – 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s are all great for retro inspiration 2. Add modern touches that are sympathetic to the style so it doesn’t just feel like an old room 3. Experiment with colour and don’t be afraid to mix it up – green and pink, blue and yellow, orange and brown 4. Use a few statement pieces in stronger tones for evoking a bygone era Traps to avoid: 1. Mixing incongruous styles – like 70s paisley prints with 50s diner tiles 2. 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 3. Making the room feel closed in.
A retro pet portrait gives it a little ’60s, Warhol-inspired touch, too. Consider going sans a shower curtain, as seen here, to show off your vintage inspired tile work, if you’re more of a bath person. Green plants contrast effortlessly against the soft pink hues. https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/brand-new-colorful-bathrooms-that-look-vintage-or-retro-235959
I think this will be perfect in the bathroom. Snake Plant in a white or gray pot.
