If you want 80s interior design bathroom ideas, you’ve landed at the right place. Eighties design seems poised on the verge of a comeback, but since it hasn’t come back just yet, it still has some appealing strangeness that vintage designs have before they get recycled by Urban Outfitters.
One aspect of ’80s design the Mehraaz group finds especially strange and appealing is ’80s bathrooms, where the extravagance typical of the decade takes on delightfully absurd proportions. If sunken tubs, wall-to-wall carpet, and bathrooms the size of a loft apartment sound good, you’ll find plenty to love here.
80s interior design bathroom Ideas:
1. This sunken tub has built-in benches around its perimeter so you can soak with friends. Ultimate luxury.
2. Like something you would see on a luxury spaceship.
3. I never thought I would love something so unashamedly teal, but that elegant sunken tub (almost like a reflecting pool!) has captured my heart.
4. In the ’80s, there was no such thing as a bathroom that was too big.
5. An enormous soaking tub, surrounded by plants, in an ’80s bathroom was spotted on AnOther Mag.
6. If you’re going to have shag carpeting in the bathroom, you have to pair it with a sunken tub and about a million houseplants.
7. If you’ve always dreamed of submerging yourself in a tub shaped like an amoeba…well, this is it.
8. And finally, from Sight Unseen, an ’80s bathroom from Memphis, the design group that defined the era’s look. Rad.
9. In this pic designer dealing with ugly bathroom tiles? Somehow the mauve tub isn’t an eyesore with that tiled masterpiece behind it! Below we see the Memphis-Milano-style magic that happens when you combine a glass block, a black tub, and tiles in primary colors.
10. On a similar note, we now see another bitchin’, this time with slightly less color. As one reader commented, this is a room fit for Zach Morris. Or any Saved by the Bell character, for that matter.
11. We end with an homage to metallic wallpaper. This bamboo-fabulous pattern is perfect, especially with a deep mauve tiled sink. Throw in a Neo Deco vase and add some paint to the cabinets, door, and frame, and this room could be an ’80s-fabulous gem.
