Your house hasn't been decorated since your parents bought it in the 1950s. It was adorable then, but it has lost luster over the years. Now that it's time to update, the bathroom is a good place to start. With some hard work and attention to detail, you can update that 1950s bathroom.
Instructions
1. Tone down the color. Bathrooms of the 1950s are notorious for bright pink or blue tile and colored toilets and sinks. These elements are what dates the room. When you decorate the bathroom in a more modern style, you need to tone down the colors to neutrals, whites or beiges. No one buys a blue toilet anymore.
2. Upgrade the sink. Take that 1950s sink right off the wall with its two front legs and replace it with a regular . Vanities come in a variety of sizes now to fit even the smallest bathroom. A vanity and sink top will provide a convenient "work station" in the bathroom and some surface area to decorate. Add an attractive soap dispenser and tissue box to the counter top.
3. Dismantle the medicine cabinet. That old metal cabinet set halfway into the wall above the sink is now rusty and gross, no longer a hygienic place to store your toothbrush. Pull it right out of the wall and fill in the hole. Hang a decorative mirror there, and in the drawer of the vanity. You could also buy a decorative toothbrush holder for the counter top, depending on how much space you have.
4. Paint the walls. A fresh coat of paint will help upgrade your 1950s bathroom. Stick with neutral colors to match your new fixtures.
