Recently, I posted a picture of a bubble gum pink bath. I found another vintage bath image that I thought worth sharing. Unlike many baths of the era, this one does not have contrasting trim. And, this apple green bath is consistent all the way through the design.

Every now and then I find a bath that resonates with me. The pink bath in this image is one of those “vintage” images that is all too familiar to those of us of a certain age. In fact, when we founded Waterworks 40 years ago, there were countless baths that looked just like this and many were far worse.

The powder room, also known as a small guest bath or half bath, is usually located near a home or apartment’s entrance and consists of a toilet and sink. Most half bath spaces are small and basic, but they don’t have to be. If you entertain often, your guests will most likely use your half bath.

We often find ourselves laughing at retro baths. Additionally, the baths then were very small regardless of the size of the family. Here are a few to consider: A niche in the tub or shower wall keeps all bathing amenities together. Knee walls create zones in the bath and add a bit of privacy.

Or, bubble gum pink fixtures appropriate for the master suite bath. The most redeeming feature of the 4 baths was the use of technical tile trim pieces installed to go in, out and around corners, finish walls, and frame inserts. They were okay maintaining the existing space but craved a more attractive and updated bath.

A bath with a masculine orientation is more about grooming than primping. I imagine a man’s bath will use rich polished wood for furniture or decorative accessories, dark colors from gray to brown and beautifully figured or textured stone. The bath should be a reflection of your own style and taste.

I’ve made a decision: A little drama in the bath is a very good thing. Everyone knows I’m a proponent of white baths — and there are so many exquisite ones — but somehow a bath clad in dark tile or paint just feels new and exciting. I particularly like the corresponding dark, rich-colored ceramic tile.

Years ago, when this bath first appeared in print, we were simply awed. At a time when white was the prevailing theme for baths (actually, it still is) this was a bold statement using period details, exceptional materials and deliberate architecture. This bath bridges the gap between arts and crafts and elegant sophistication.

It provides a casual place to entertain or hang out in a bathing suit, and of course is great for showering after a refreshing swim. Because of its open-air nature, a pool house calls for easily cleaned surfaces, indoor/outdoor fabrics, comfortable furniture, fabulous baths with dynamic showers, lots of hooks and plentiful towels.
