How have bathrooms changed in the last half-century?

 
1960s
One main bathroom was most common, and throw-back pinks from the 50s were still present in many dated bathrooms. Mint green and blue became popular as well as psychedelia colour schemes in the late 60s.

1970s
New materials such as vinyl flooring and laminate surfaces became available. Some bathrooms had wall-to-wall shag carpeting, and there was a switch to more earthy colour schemes.

1980s
In this era of rising house prices and spending, the bathroom became a retreat in many homes. Many had corner whirlpool tubs, yet Victorian-style was popular too. Colour schemes common at the time were pastels such as teal and peach, or mauve and hunter green.

1990s
The corner bath continued to be fashionable but more bathroom furniture became popular such as vanity dressing-room style amenities with large mirrors.

2000s
For homes with a master-suite, it became more spa-like. Granite started to become popular as well as bronze fixtures and glass-enclosed showers.

2010s onwards

The most popular counter surface has become Quartz, and wood cabinetry in grey or white has become a modern trend. Customers as favouring free-standing baths, although many people are favouring a large luxurious walk-in shower in their main bathroom. En-suite bathrooms for one or more bedrooms are often required.

Technology also plays a main part in today’s bathrooms with smart-lighting, seat warmers, self-cleaning toilets and many more gadgets. What will the future hold? Call us today for Bathroom disabled access adaptations in Aldershot for your home.
