Acquaclick furnishes: the Vintage bathroom

Furniture, bathroom fixtures, taps and accessories are the bathroom furniture products that have been designed and developed over the years by various suppliers to meet the needs of those who want a bathroom with an antique flavor.

Every detail is important to have an excellent final result: on Acquaclick we offer you a selection of products designed and selected by our interior decorators to have a classic magazine style bathroom.

Where to start? A universal rule for moving around in the furnishing of a new bathroom (and in general for every room in the house) is to define a focal point, an important element on which the observer's attention can be focused when he crosses the threshold of the room.

This choice is very important because it is the style of this object that will define the guidelines of the whole bathroom.

Let's assume, in this case, to choose the bathroom cabinet as the main piece of furniture.

Retro bathroom furniture

A vintage bathroom furniture must be able to reinterpret the charm of antique furniture in a modern key that is able to meet the functional needs of modern living.

Following these guidelines, we have chosen for our vintage proposal, the Arcade bathroom furniture by Simas: these are free-standing washbasin cabinets with elegant style feet and equipped with doors and / or drawers that open with a classic circular knob.

The model with doors only, for example, concentrates a good storage capacity in 70 cm of width, thanks to the depth of 52 cm and the internal shelf that allows you to optimize space.

Simas offers these furniture in black or white finishes, perfect for combining with plain neutral-colored coverings or with an antiqued texture.

Old England sanitary ware

Even the ceramics in a vintage bathroom must respect precise aesthetic standards to highlight the bathroom furniture that we have already inserted.

Often the sanitary ware suppliers make complete collections in which there are both furniture and sanitary ware with the same design style: this is precisely the case of the Simas Arcade collection that we also offer you for toilet, bidet and sink.

The washbasin is designed to be combined with the bathroom cabinet as a console and is made with a splash back, for an extremely retro result, but also without a back for those who want to maintain an ancient flavor but more sober lines.

In both cases, the washbasins are supplied with a central hole for taps and predisposition for three-hole taps: this means that the ceramic is engraved in the lower part so that, in case you want to install a three-hole tap, can be opened with a simple pressure from the plumber during installation.

The toilets and bidets of the Simas Arcade collection are available both in the floor-standing version and in the suspended version: for a vintage design consistent with the guidelines that characterized classic bathrooms, we at Acquaclick recommend you to choose the version of the floor-mounted sanitary ware. .

As per tradition, the Arcade toilet and bidet in the floor version are detached from the wall so that the classic chrome pipes for draining and filling water are visible.

The toilet can be completed as desired with the seat in white or in walnut wood.

The Arcade bidet is also supplied with a central hole for taps and a predisposition for a three-hole tap.

Vintage taps

Colors, shapes and materials are the foundations of retro-style taps.

Most of the classic style taps are equipped with a four-pointed handle or an English-style lever in metal or with a porcelain insert.

The collection we have chosen for our vintage bathroom proposal is the Edward taps by Bellosta: it is a tap available both in the single-hole version and in the three-hole version and is equipped with four-pointed handles with "hot" and "cold" plates. ”Like the taps of the past.

These taps are made of brass and are available in many polished or brushed finishes in addition to the normal polished chrome finish: one of the most requested finishes for this tap is satin bronze.

Furnishing tips

Perfection is in the details and that is why we suggest you complete your vintage bathroom with suitable accessories.

The classic style bathroom accessories are numerous and it is often difficult to disentangle the various proposals of the suppliers: we have selected the Raffaella collection by Inda which, in addition to having an excellent value for money, has behind it the technology and know-how of a leading company in the production of bathroom accessories and specialized in hotel supplies on the international market.
In the same way, floors and walls also acquire great importance in completing the look of the bathroom correctly: to have a classic bathroom that is however revisited in a modern way, the advice is to combine different effects, for example using a wood effect on the floor. and a concrete effect tile as a wall covering.

One of the most suitable porcelain stoneware tiles for this purpose is the Treverkhome collection by Marazzi, available in the rectified 20x120 cm and 30x 120 cm versions: for a real "wow effect" we recommend choosing the Ash finish, a wood that tends to to gray to combine with a tone-on-tone coating or with a slightly scratched finish.

It is also possible to combine a wall decoration, for example on the wall behind the bathroom fixtures such as the Crochet decoration from the Fresco collection by Marazzi to enhance the vintage elegance of your new bathroom.
