Retro Decorating Ideas for a Pink & Green Bathroom

Vintage Bathroom Fixtures and Tile

• Make your retro bathroom stand out by installing modern day pink or green bathroom fixtures that have a vintage look. You can also seek out real vintage antique fixtures, but don't install them unless they still work and have little to no damage. White old-fashioned fixtures with pink or green accents on the handle can also work. If your budget allows, include a vintage style claw-foot bathtub if you want to create a 1940's retro look. Install teal or pea green tiles in the bathroom or create a checkerboard look by using both pink and green tiles together.

Colorful Accent Walls

• Don't be afraid to use paint or wallpaper to create funky accent walls within your retro bathroom. These bathrooms feature bold designs of pink and green hippie-like flowers. Pink and green stripes or polka dots go well with a 1960's or 70's retro bathroom. A pink and green zebra striped accent wall may fit your style better though. Solid-colored pink or green accent walls also work for a general retro-theme.

Decor Pieces

• Many antique shops contain decor pieces that complement the look in your pink and green, retro bathroom. A pink retro clock radio can go on top of a shelf above the toilet or on the counter. Hang up colorful glow-in-the-dark pink and green paintings showcasing flowers or other retro designs. You can use glowing paint to create your own image or seek out designs in stores or antique shops. Framed pictures of 1950's and 60's Hollywood stars can go well in the room also.

Bathroom Accessories

• No retro-style bathroom is complete without a few accessories to match the colors and theme. Shag-style pink and green rugs can keep your bathroom floors dry, while adding the retro look in your room. You can pair a striped shag pink and green rug with other shag accessories such as a shag toilet seat cover and thick shaggy towels. The colors you use also have a retro-effect. Pea green and bright pink were common decor colors in the 1970's. Feature soap dishes, tissue box holders, toothbrush holders and other accessories on your bathroom counter top. Teal has a bluish green color that works well with pink and also has a retro-look. Flowery shower curtains showcasing pink and green flower patterns go with a vintage theme.
