Tips & Warnings
Watch old movies for ideas on how Hollywood decorates their sets in the 1940s and 1950s. If any of these movies have been re-edited in color, they might be more helpful than the black and white.
Any theme can be taken too far. Remember, less is more, especially if your bathroom already feels overwhelming with color. Lean more towards the neutrals to mute out loud colors, if necessary.
