Retro style is a nod to the rich design of years ago. In this trend, the aesthetics prevailing in one of the past decades are harmoniously combined with a modern approach to the production of fittings. Both retro-themed items and entire retro bathrooms are beautiful and incredibly original, and at the same time highly functional. It is therefore not surprising that more and more people decide to arrange their bathroom in a retro style or at least add individual accents to it - for example, retro bathroom faucets. Find out what kind of decor a retro washbasin faucet fits into and with which washbasin it will create a harmonious combination. Are you also interested in other bathroom faucets with an old soul? We tell you what to pay attention to when choosing retro bathtub faucets.

How to check if a retro faucet fits your washbasin?
A retro washbasin tap often looks like a small work of art. Its characteristic features are: two cross handles (less often a single-lever faucet), refined, refined design in every detail, the presence of a long, slim, rounded spout and a chrome or old gold finish. Ceramic or porcelain decorations are not uncommon. White washbasins in a vintage or retro style, e.g. classic washbasins supported on a pedestal, models mounted on the wall or bowls fancifully built into elegant wooden cabinets, perfectly harmonize with such beautiful, elegant and expressive fittings.
If you want to check whether the selected retro faucet will fit your washbasin, you should take into account not only aesthetic issues, but also technical aspects. Water flowing from the tap must not splash on the countertop and floor, and the user should be able to comfortably fit both hands under the spout. It is also important not to hit your head on the tap when leaning over the sink to wash your face.
If you are interested in an eye-catching retro floor-standing faucet, take into account its height and spout range, and consider the mounting location (on the countertop or washbasin). Currently, you will find many washbasins in retro, vintage and classic style on the market - also with a factory-prepared hole for the tap.
Which bathroom will a retro washbasin tap fit into?
The natural environment for a sophisticated retro washbasin tap is, of course, an interior decorated in a retro or vintage style. Retro fittings will also complement the classic arrangement in a coherent way. If you like interior design experiments, it is worth venturing into the currently super-fashionable eclecticism in the bathroom and combining a retro faucet with a modern washbasin, classic furniture, loft lamps and glamorous accents. You have a very wide range of possibilities - practically unlimited. What matters is the individual idea for using a retro washbasin tap in the bathroom and its consistency with other interior design elements and the overall decor.
How to choose the right retro bathtub faucet?
A retro bathtub faucet is an eye-catching, usually two-handle, free-standing or wall-mounted model, finished in chrome or old gold, with a decorative shower head resembling... an old telephone. Such sophisticated and unusual fittings should complement a luxurious free-standing bathtub, e.g. a retro-style model supported by gold or silver decorative legs, or a more minimalist, modern design. In the case of a bathroom with an eclectic flair, you can boldly combine elements representing completely different styles. When choosing a retro bathtub faucet, just like a washbasin model, be sure to take into account the product's technical data and the preferred installation location. The installation in your bathroom is also important.
