The retro style is a nod to the rich design of years gone by. In this trend, the aesthetics that reigned in one of the past decades harmoniously combine with a modern approach to the production of fittings. Both objects maintained in a retro style and entire retro bathrooms are beautiful and incredibly original, and at the same time highly functional. It is no wonder that more and more people decide to arrange their bathroom in a retro style or at least invite individual accents to it - for example, retro bathroom faucets. Find out what decor a retro washbasin faucet fits and with which washbasin it will create a harmonious combination. Are you also interested in other bathroom faucets with an old soul? We suggest what to look for when choosing retro bath faucets.

How to check if a retro tap fits your sink?
A retro washbasin tap often looks like a small work of art. Its characteristic features are: two cross handles (less often a single-lever tap), a refined design in every detail, the presence of a long, slender, rounded spout and a chrome or old gold finish. Ceramic or porcelain decorations often appear. White washbasins in a vintage or retro style, e.g. classic washbasins supported on a pedestal, models mounted to the wall or bowls fancifully built into elegant, wooden cabinets, harmonize perfectly with such beautiful, chic and expressive fittings.
In order to check whether the selected retro faucet will definitely match the existing sink, you should consider not only aesthetic issues, but also technical aspects. The water flowing out of the tap should not splash on the countertop and floor, and the user should be able to easily fit both hands under the spout. It is also important not to hit your head on the faucet when leaning over the sink to wash your face.
If you are interested in an effective retro freestanding tap, consider its height and spout reach and consider the mounting location (on a countertop or sink). There are currently many retro, vintage and classic style sinks on the market - also with a factory-prepared tap hole.
What kind of bathroom will a retro washbasin tap fit?
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 a classic arrangement in a coherent way. If you like interior design experiments, it is worth daring to use the currently super fashionable eclecticism in the bathroom and combine a retro tap with a modern washbasin, classic furniture, loft lamps and glamorous accents. You have a very wide field of action - practically unlimited. What counts is the individual idea of using a retro washbasin tap in the bathroom and its consistency with other interior elements and the general decor.
How to choose the right retro bathtub faucet?
A retro bathtub faucet is an effective, usually two-lever freestanding 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 freestanding 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 bent, you can boldly combine elements representing completely different styles. When choosing a retro bathtub faucet, similarly to a washbasin model, be sure to consider the technical data of the product and the preferred installation location. The installation present in your bathroom is also important.
