Take a tour around a Victorian-style bathroom makeover

The cast-iron bath, decorative radiator and large shower head gave the owners the classic look they were after. Painted panelling adds colour and provides a handy ledge for vintage signs.

The shower enclosure was sourced from WD Bathrooms, and the signs can be found at Dotcomgiftshop. Try Homebase for panelling like this.

2/9 Bathroom before

The owners of this house had always dreamt of living in a Victorian home, so when they finally bought one, they wanted the bathroom to look the part. The large reproduction fittings they wanted were larger than average, so the couple had to rearrange the layout to make room.

Overall cost: £9,706

3/9 Bathroom basin and toilet

By replacing a big boiler cupboard in the corner with a smaller one, the couple created space for a high-level cistern. The elegant washstand was brought in as a handy surface for toiletries, and the mirror frame was upcycled from an old sash window.

Find this cistern and toilet at Thomas Crapper.

4/9 Painted freestanding bath

The owners fell in love with this rich plum colour when they saw it in a magazine. The paint for the bath was mixed to match the walls.

Dulux sells this plum paint colour. Visit Thomas Crapper for this bath and shower.

5/9 Bathroom radiator

The elaborate radiator and antique-look chair add to the authentic Victorian look, as well as bringing a relaxed element to the room.

Find a similar chair at Sweetpea & Willow, and visit Aestus for a radiator like this.

6/9 Period-style shower

A period-style shower in chrome continues the Victorian look through to the finest detail. The owners set it against white brick tiles to create a fresh feel that wouldn't date.

Fired Earth sells these tiles, source this shower from Thomas Crapper.

7/9 Period-style bathroom basin

The period-style basin and vanity unit are key elements in this look. In brilliant white, its classic curves stand out against the plum walls and dark wooden floor.

Find this basin at Fired Earth.

8/9 Bathroom accessories

Vintage-style accessories are the perfect finishing touch, while also aluding to a luxurious haven. Items like these, collected by the owners, inspired the design.

Homestyle Accessories sells these jars.

9/9 Vintage bathroom light pull

Small touches, like this decorative flush pull, bring personality to the bathroom.

The flush pull is from Thomas Crapper.
