What style bathroom in victorian home?

[chachachachacha]

Finally redoing the bathroom and am undecided about what style to go for.

Have been looking for inspiration and really love this modern traditional style but as I'm on such a tight budget I'm tempted to go for just plain basic pottery like this and spend a bit extra on taps/better shower.

Would I be able to mix the muted colour tones with a modern suite or would it look a bit wierd?

What do you think?

ooh it is lovely

bloody seaside colour themes should be banned

oops sorry - the first one.... gorgeous

The grey bathroom in the OP has Art Deco overtones which I think would be slightly out of place in a Victorian home. Plus it's a bit boring - I would get very fed up with that style of bathroom very quickly.

personally, i dont think first one has that much wow factor, especially if you n a tight budget. i would buy cheaper standard white suite and spend on taps etc and tiles/flooring.

Have just seen this - would it work with a plain bath and bog standard pottery?

I love Victorian houses, period features etc, but don't much like period-style bathroom fittings, find them a bit fussy (and v hard to clean). I'd much rather have simple and modern, even in a Victorian house. And yes I think you can do muted/F&B colours with modern fittings, would look great.

I love the first one, except maybe the mirror which seems very art-deco-y to me. The rest seems classic, sturdy and timeless and I don't think will age or grow dated. I don't think something with an art-deco edge is out of place in a victorian house. I have an edwardian suite in mine as I prefer the slightly simpler lines to a full on victorian one and I tell myself that historically a lot of bathrooms would have been moved inside around that period and so it sort of makes sense, if you see what i mean. (but really, I think it's because i prefer the look most of all.)

I'm sort of with minipie, assuming you're not ripping out anything original (which you probably aren't in a bathroom), I think a clean modern style can work quite well, especially if you use some subtle colours.

You can always add a few 'victorian' touches with things like mirror/picture frames in that kind of ornate/modern style, kind of like this heals

We have a Victorian house and have used the Savoy range from bathstore.com.

We have an Edwardian house and there definitely was not a bathroom when it was first built - the outside loo was still in place when we moved in! So I had no problem with putting in a modern style bathroom suite. I like the grey on the walls in the first photo and the bath panel but would use a less-twiddly design for the suite.

Thanks - I'm still no closer to making a decision. I'm erring towards a plain set as it would mean I could spend the extra on a more luxurious shower.

Any thoughts on the other bathroom linked to in my second post?

this one

Like that one

I like that - my sister's bathroom is a bit like that but all white with a row of glass coloured tiles in it. I think you can definitely mix and match the two. I splurged on taps and tiles in my bathroom (on my profile) and I'm really glad I did - my neighbour's taps (from B&Q) have started to peel off already and she had it refitted just over a year ago!

we've done something vaguely similar. our tiles are white, farrow and ball brown on the walls (glass splashback above sink) with limestone on the floor. savoy range as above and traditional but not fussy taps and a lovely chunky traditional bathroom radiator. very biased but it looks fab and very in keeping with house which is victorian.

We have a victorian house and last year, we put in the 'Victorian' style bathroom from the Heritage collection. We will soon be moving to a new house which also is quite traditional/victorian so we have chosen the same bathroom collection for this which has already been installed. We have kept it quite simple with plain white bevelled tiles all over from top to bottom with just a simple black thin border line running through the centre just above the sink around the room and creamy /white porcelain floor tiles. We have arranged for the same style/fitting in our soon to be new house.

Its quite simple but very traditional looking.

I quite like the first and wouldn't feel constrained by a Victorian home, perhaps more the style of the rest of the house. It is certainly not as modern as some.
Sorry I think the second is awful - like a starter home. All that shower gubbins should be hidden/disguised at least, in my view.
