bathroom: vintage medical laboratory

One bathroom idea I am also enjoying playing with is a vintage medical/laboratory inspired look. Think: stainless steel and glass cabinets, butcher/subway/mosaic tiles, laboratory sink shapes and tapware, red cross motifs.

I found one medical inspired bathroom on the internets, shown below. It comes from kitchenbathideas.com . It has a cute red cross shower curtain which is certainly the most literal medical aspect, but it also features a stainless steel/glass cabinet (above and below the counter), tubular rails for the hand towels, x-ray boxes backlighting images for artwork (cool) and a  hospital-lab-vintagey-yet-modern feel mosaic. The light blue and red colour scheme is very medical.


       




Some more examples of cabinets that might work in a medical/laboratory inspired bathroom:

Unfortunately I doubt I'll have room for a freestanding cabinet, and possibly not even for a decent wall (above counter) cabinet due to the limited space above the vanity because of a strange and wide window configuration (I'll spec it out later).

For some reason this vintage/deco bathroom also makes me think a little laboratory/medical/insane asylum.
