Symmetry was a key element of art déco style. So go ahead and choose a double washbasin or two identical mirrors. Look for geometric patterns. Vertical, elongated, skyscraper-style wall sconces on either side will also work well here.

Mix them with reflective and highly polished surfaces. You can also match them with shiny chrome or nickel-plated fixtures, faucets and switches.
Marble surrounds are associated with luxury and comfort. It also provides ample space for stylish glass accessories, candles and elegant toiletries. Mirror panels around the bathtub are an original solution, although not necessarily practical in a steamy environment. You can replace them with a shiny glass mosaic.

Also look out for materials available in geometric patterns such as herringbone, sun rays or hexagonal honeycombs.
Colorful bathroom sets in shades of mint green or yellow were fashionable in the 1930s. Most owners now would consider them old-fashioned rather than classic.

If you are decorating a feminine bathroom, you can combine black mixers with pink tiles. Elegant, chrome faucet in the washbasin and patterned wallpaper are a great reference to the era. A striking mirror is a must-have item in any art déco bathroom.
