Have you got an awkward shaped bathroom and think that means a sumptious Victorian or Edwardian period bathroom is impossible? Well, it doesn't, and we have an elegant Victorian style bathroom created inside some converted farm outbuildings to prove it. Upmarket development of luxury apartments in a late Victorian estate in Manchester, near Cheshire. The development takes in the main house, cottages and also the period outbuildings where our apparently difficult bathroom is situated.
If your home is a period property, you might like to do away with the traditional approach to bathroom design and create a room that truly fits in with your home's style. It's easy to do in terms of styling, especially if you are transforming what was once a bedroom into a new bathroom.
The trick is to mix and match reclaimed pieces and reproduction finds to create a Victorian style bathroom that looks as if it evolved over time. Open Shelving Chunky floating shelves add a modern touch in a period-style room. You can buy them cheaply from shops in standard lengths, but Alderley Bowden period bathrooms in Cheshire can make them to fit your space exactly.
Period Features
Make the most of what you have - alcoves cry out for Edwardian shelves or cabinets, for example. If you're lucky enough to have an old fireplace, the mantel makes a perfect space for displaying accessories and candles.
Paint Your Bath
Old roll-top tubs (see www.antiquebaths.com) give you a rare chance to customise by painting the outside. Be bold and make a statement with a bright colour in an all-white scheme, or use a Victorian period shade to co-ordinate with the rest of the bathroom.
