CLASSIC REVIVAL: THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS
The re-emergence of a classic feel for bathrooms might
have its roots in nostalgia for some, but is a deliberate style
choice for others. This trend takes many forms of expression:
on the one hand there’s interest in old-school black-andwhite
flooring for bathrooms – from chequerboard marble
to penny tiles with monochrome patterns – while on the
other, sleek updates to footed bathtubs and fresh takes
on traditional pedestal basins abound. Tapware combines
a completely convincing vintage feel with the latest in
water technology, while interior detailing can include
bespoke cabinetry or vanities, and half-height tiles or
wainscoting for walls. The chicest colour scheme for this
look is monochrome, but we’re also seeing it in conjunction
with pastels, especially soft greens. This is an updated take
on the classic bathrooms of the early 20th century – and
a style that, on some level, appeals to just about everyone.
