"If you love scouring flea markets and thrift shops for vintage finds, it's a safe assumption that you probably love vintage bathrooms, too - whether it's as small as a half bath or as large as a primary or en suite one. You're in good company, with myriad TikToks proclaiming adoration for these bygone baths - in fact, vintage enthusiasts can get downright angry when these vintage bathrooms are removed and replaced with modern white and black bathrooms."
"Adie Kriegstein, a licensed sales agent and principal of the NYC Experience Team at Compass, says that in general, buyers are after simple, clean lines in a bathroom, and that's very much in step with a vintage feature that's very in right now: subway tiles, and lot of 'em. Rick Bannon, global real estate adviser at ONE Sotheby's International Realty, agrees, and says that subway tiles have made a "strong comeback" in both modern-styled bathrooms as well as in bathrooms that have been remodeled in overall vintage designs."
Vintage bathrooms and vintage fixtures have regained popularity among enthusiasts who appreciate character, charm, and nostalgic design elements such as pink fixtures and atomic wallpaper. Many buyers prefer simple, clean lines in bathrooms, which aligns with the renewed interest in extensive subway tile installations. Real estate professionals note that subway tiles have made a strong comeback and appear in both modern-styled bathrooms and spaces remodeled with vintage design. Subway tiles are being updated with modern colors, textures, and shapes to give vintage-inspired bathrooms contemporary appeal. Resale impact depends on execution, context, and buyer preferences.
