[GET THE LOOK] Sublime modernity in a retro bathroom

Eclecticism has become one of the key principles in modern-day interior design. To talk about modern bathrooms is to make reference to spaces which not only bring the latest in design, technology and finishes together, but they also acknowledge more classical and vintage styles. Following the latest trends in design, this vintage style bathroom banks on spaciousness and minimalism in the bathroom equipment. As well as that, it portrays the retro character in floor and wall tiles alike, namely, small coloured-tiles and marble-inspired ceramic.  

In this bathroom, the layout is also distinguishing, since it has been divided into two clearly differentiated areas: the basin and bathtub area; and the shower and toilet space. It is in the latter where greater user intimacy is achieved, however, it is the bathtub space which takes on the leading role, since it works as the sculptural piece.
