Victorian-style baths and showers are a great way of providing your bathroom with a dash of timeless beauty from a bygone period. Claw-foot tubs were a hallmark of the era, standing as a focal point in the bathroom, their gracefully curved lines and ornate feet embodying a blend of comfort and luxury.

Showers featuring exposed pipework are not just functional, but also work as a visual nod to Victorian ingenuity, showcasing the raw beauty of an industrial-era design. A valve-operated Victorian-style shower harks back to a time when every detail was a testament to craftsmanship; they are perfect for anyone seeking to infuse their home with historical elegance without losing out on practicality.

In a Victorian-style bathroom, even the most practical elements receive an artistic touch. Pairing the styles of pedestal toilets and sinks exemplifies the era’s dedication to beauty in every detail, where even the most utilitarian elements contribute to the overall grandeur of the space. These fixtures are not mere bathroom necessities; they are statement pieces that elevate the bathroom’s aesthetics.

You can give your Victorian-style bathroom a more modern finish by sticking with a bright white suite, or if you’re looking for a truly classic feel then opt for a wooden-seated toilet and off-white porcelain.  

Victorian-style walls and panelling play a pivotal role in creating a bathroom that not only embodies the grandeur of the era but also harmonises with the distinctive architectural features of Victorian homes.

From wallpapers, to tiling, to decorative mouldings, there are a wealth of options available to bring this hallmark of Victorian design into your bathroom space.

Window shutters were often featured in Victorian houses. More specifically, in their bathrooms, window dressings played a crucial role in both aesthetics and privacy. These shutters, which are still in place in many period properties, were typically characterised by their solid wooden construction, usually involving rich, dark woods or painted finishes which often made them feel heavy and dark.

To keep all the practicality and charm of Victorian shutters without risking a dark and dank feel, we recommend upgrading to modern bathroom shutters that put a twist on classic Victorian décor. Full-height shutters in Victorian houses make the most of high ceilings and large windows, offering a unique blend of historical elegance and contemporary ease. You can also make the most of sash windows or shaped windows in your bathroom with made-to-measure shutters.

Some people think that the tall ceilings are the best feature of a Victorian house, but the true unsung hero lies underfoot with Victorian-style tiled flooring.

In a Victorian bathroom, tiled flooring is an opportunity to make a statement. There are some fantastic design options for you to choose from, including different patterns, materials and colours. Bold patterned tiles with intricate designs and vibrant colours create a captivating visual that livens the entire bathroom. You may want to opt for Herringbone patterns that bring an air of refined stylishness, especially when combined with organic stone tiles. You could also go for a classic Checkerboard layout that provides a striking contrast and a nod to the Victorian era’s fondness for geometric precision in their designs.

In a Victorian bathroom, the furnishings and finishing touches are pivotal. Vanity units with elaborate carvings become more than storage – they’re luxurious centrepieces in the room. Ornate mirrors are more than just practical, they also enhance the bathrooms sense of space. The choice of light fixtures, from smaller shaded lights to dramatic chandeliers, can be used to bring a decorative flair while illuminating the room.

As well as this, radiator towel rails are a useful feature that will keep your towels heated while adding that vintage industrial aesthetic. These elements will transform a simple bathroom into a luxurious Victorian retreat, a perfect addition into your classic home.
