Inspiration: Design through time… Part 2

This week we are focusing on the wonderfully kitsch 1950’s.
Although there were some great and timeless design trends to come out of the 50’s (Arne Jacobsen, Eames etc) we can’t help but think that bathrooms were not the most appealing at this time.
Think apricot toilet suites, matching baths and pedestal basins and a whole lot of Formica.
 
For our interpretation of the 1950’s bathroom, we’ve taken the pastel hues from the era and updated them with glass mosaics and claw-foot baths.
The basin is reminiscent of mid-century design and perfectly reflects the blending of old and new to create a modern space with 50’s influence.
