The Baby Boom after World War II, combined with the prosperity of post-war years, prompted the design of homes with at least two bathrooms or the addition of an extra bathroom to existing homes.
In the very early 50s, bathroom styles remained much the same as in the 1940s, but by 1955, a modern look was becoming much more common. Popular colors were pink, green, gray, yellow and chartreuse.
By the late 50s, luxurious bathrooms were becoming the norm, as reflected in these ads found on an excellent site called
Mid-Century Home Style. (I'm only showing you a few of their great images. Visit the site for more.)
