Here are some of the key features you can expect to find in mid century bathroom fixtures:
1. Clean lines – Mid century bathroom fixtures are known for their minimalist designs. They typically feature clean, straight lines with very little ornamentation.
2. Organic shapes – While the lines may be straight, mid century modern designers often incorporated organic shapes into their designs as well. Curved edges and rounded corners can be found on many mid century bathroom fixtures.
3. Bold colors – Bright colors were a hallmark of mid century modern design. Bathroom fixtures were often painted in bold hues like avocado green, mustard yellow, or deep blue.
4. Chrome finishes – Chrome was another popular material used for mid century bathroom fixtures. The shiny finish adds a touch of glamour to any bathroom space.
5. Space-saving designs – Mid century homes often had smaller bathrooms than we’re used to today. As such, many mid century bathroom fixtures were designed to be space-saving without sacrificing style or functionality.
Examples of mid century bathroom fixtures include pedestal sinks with tapered legs, oval-shaped medicine cabinets with built-in lighting, and porcelain toilets with chrome flush handles.
If you’re thinking about incorporating mid-century style into your own bathroom remodel, there are plenty of options available from both vintage and contemporary sources. Start by browsing online marketplaces like Etsy or local antique shops for authentic pieces from the era. Alternatively, if you prefer newer pieces that evoke the same aesthetic but come with updated features like improved water conservation or modern plumbing standards, look for reproduction items from popular brands like Kohler or Delta Faucet Company.
No matter what direction you choose when it comes to mid century bathroom fixtures, one thing is certain: they’ll add classic style and timelessness to your home’s most functional space.

Description : In recent years, there has been a real revival and appraisal of the works of the mid-century modern movement among architects and interior designers: the furniture, lighting and objects designed by Alvar Aalto, Charles & Ray Eames, Eileen Gray, Poul Henningsen, Arne Jacobsen, Pierre Jeanneret, Finn Juhl, Vladimir Kagan, Poul Kjaerholm, Florence Knoll, Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Børge Mogensen, Serge Mouille, George Nakashima, George Nelson, Verner Panton, Ico Parisi, Charlotte Perriand, Gio Ponti, Jean Prouvé, Sergio Rodrigues, Jean Royère, Eero Saarinen, Arne Vodder, Jules Wabbes, Ole Wanscher, Hans J. Wegner, Jorge Zalszupin and many others is integrated in their most exclusive projects and their best pieces are sold at record prices at Christies, Philipps, Sotheby's... In the U.S., the mid-century modern movement in interiors, product and graphic design and architecture was a reflection of the International and Bauhaus movements including the works of Gropius, Florence Knoll, Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Brazilian and Scandinavian architects were very influential, with a style characterized by clean simplicity and integration with nature. In Europe, the influence of Le Corbusier and the CIAM resulted in an architectural orthodoxy manifest across most parts of post-war Europe that was ultimately challenged by the radical agendas of the architectural wings of the avant-garde. A critical but sympathetic reappraisal of the internationalist oeuvre, inspired by the Scandinavian Moderns and the late work of Le Corbusier himself, was reinterpreted by groups such as Team X, including structuralist architects and the movement known as New Brutalism. This chic, over-sized coffee table book is an essential object for all mid-century design aficionados, interior designers with a passion for the modernist 1950s and for refined readers seeking inspiration for their own interiors. In 20 reports, interior designers and passionate collectors of mid-century furniture, lighting, objects and artworks show how carefully selected touches of high-end mid-century modernism can contribute to a unique living environment....
