Pink Bathroom Revival: How to Make Pink Chic

They’re iconic and rare, but they can quickly feel dated or dingy. Here’s how to add a little va-voom to your vintage pink bathroom.

    When it came time to update this 1959 pink bathroom, one thing was clear—the pink wasn’t going anywhere.

    So You Have A Pink Bathroom…

    Homeowners Annette and Alan Vartanian have found creative solutions to preserving its iconic midcentury elements while meeting the needs and personality of their family.

    “Vintage pink bathrooms are a rare breed,” says Annette. Wanting to keep as much of the pink as possible, she saved the original Venetian pink sink and shower tiles. The latest pink addition to the bath is the toilet—which was sourced to match the other elements.

    Mixing Vintage with New

    One original element of the bathroom that had to go? The tile flooring. It hadn’t been set properly so the couple replaced it with matte white hexagon tiles. The pattern adds an extra dose of retro flair to the space while keeping it bright.

    As for the wallpaper, Annette jumped at the chance to honor one of her favorite shows, “The Golden Girls” by pairing Cole & Son’s ‘Palm Jungle’ print with the pink fixtures and shower tile.

    Subtle accents, like a modern brass vase and lush textured towels, tie together the pink bathroom—transforming it into a chic modern paradise.

Instagram post 2195314517352953196_2063157019 @formfunctionart presents Vincent Raney's Single Domed Theater design. Roughly 50 years ago, a new culture started to emerge. Interstate highways rolled out and the valley’s architecture began to reflect that freedom and optimism for the future. Space-age symbols appeared on businesses designed to attract people driving cars with rocket tail fins. Wing-shaped roofs and starburst-laden signs became common themes. This is a rendering of Vincent Raney’s single dome theater for the Syufy theater chain in the ’70s. Medium is watercolor on artist board.⁠
