This project is the definition of where the finesse of craftsmanship and structural brute must meet and far exceed client expectations. The massive undertaking of excavating 700 cubic yards of soil to add a new basement below the existing structure took this 2-story home to 4,000 square feet. This now 3-story Victorian boasts 1,800 additional square feet of useable space including a third living room with soundproof insulation and custom built-in cabinetry, a wet bar, full bathroom with Waterworks fixtures and intricate marble tile, private office, laundry room equipped with a chute from every floor, and a gym & guest room. Restoring, the original upper 2 floors of this stunning Victorian to its former glory was another challenge in and of itself. Rehabbing vaulted coved ceilings & original early 19th century mantels, renovating the bedrooms and bathrooms, updating the kitchen and creating an indoor/outdoor experience by installing doors in the former window locations between the dining room and patio were just a few key elements of this project.

Victorian House, North London

Drummonds Bathrooms

Nestled away in wooded North London, this Victorian home boasts a beautiful master bathroom, guest bathroom, shower room and cloakroom. Each bathroom has a unique design, yet the four are tied together by the owners’ choices of materials, muted colours and rich, dark wood. Large wooden shutters and light, bright shades of green maximise the light in the master bathroom, where the symmetry of our painted Usk bath is perfectly framed by the large sash window behind. The bath tub stands apart on the wooden flooring, poised with its Classic Bath & Shower mixer & floor fitted waste. The intricate wall tiles by Habibi provide a dramatic contrast to the bright, bold green herringbone tiles in the shower enclosure, where our Carron shower with wall arm in a chrome finish is presented. Accessories like the towel bar and bottle rack were also added in the shower room as practical options. A Morie basin has been mounted in bespoke made cabinetry, the elegant spout of the Barra basin mixer accentuating its deep curves. A large 6-bar towel rail provides a practical solution for ample towels, whilst the small wooden stool adds an antique charm. Although the colours are more muted in the guest bedroom, the charcoal-grey painted Spey dominates the floor space along with the plunger waste and the Classic bath & shower mixer.. The dark grey fireplace and the large wooden shutters along with the subtle watercolour artwork make this bathroom feel light, bright and beautiful. The bespoke under-mounted basin cabinet featuring a Morie and Barra pop up mixer in chrome, is paired with the master bathroom. In the shower room, contrasting tile patterns from Douglas Watson have been used once again to create a dramatic look. The contrast here is subtler than in the master bathroom with pale green checks in the shower enclosure where our Carron concealed shower maximises the beauty of the tiles by being both compact & elegant. Delicate fan-like patterns in a variety of green hues are surrounding our Naver basin with its elegant chrome stand. Our single glass shelf and round mirror are the perfect finishing touches in this beautiful shower room. The downstairs cloakroom is a departure in style featuring striking floor tiles and wooden wall panelling in darker, more masculine hues. The Syre basin is more compact, but is still a statement part of this classic bathroom look. Storage for bathroom items is offered by a single glass shelf and simple towel bar. The Eden has been paired with a dark oak seat, referencing the dark wood flooring used elsewhere in the home. Photo Credit: Anthony Parkinson

Victorian Bathroom Design Ideas

If you’re looking for Victorian bathroom ideas, look no further than Houzz. Our image gallery brings you a large range of photos with inspiration for your viewing pleasure, and not only that - you can also save your ideas in ideabooks and find the professional that has done the job. When planning your bathroom design or update, start by collecting images of designs you like and take it from there. Whether you are designing your bathroom from scratch, redesigning, updating or simply decorating, you’ll be sure to find ideas for every possible scenario. And once you're ready, you can find the architect and/or builder to get the job done. But let’s start with the bathroom design basics.

How to Plan Your Victorian Bathroom Design

A good bathroom design brings together beauty and functionality. It reflects your personality in its style, colours, fittings and fixtures, but serves your needs to a tee both when you’re getting ready for work in the morning and when you want to wind down in your bathtub after a long day.

1 Collect Bathroom Ideas to Decide on Your Layout

Firstly, consider your space. Is it rectangular or are you working with a long, narrow room? This will determine how many wet walls you can accommodate, and if a bathtub can fit. For example, in a narrow room a freestanding bathtub may not work, and a one-wall layout that lines up shower, toilet and vanity on the same wall will make sense in most cases. (It’s also the most budget-friendly option in terms of plumbing). Maybe separate rooms for toilet and shower make sense? Maybe you want to work with a window above a bathtub or in the shower. You may live in an old house where you can keep some of the original character of the home, or you may be working with a small apartment space. All these considerations are vital in deciding on which layout will work best for you. Have a look at some popular ideas to get started.

2 Consider How You Use Your Bathroom

Once you’ve gathered some inspiration, have a think about who is using the room, and how they will be using it. A single guy needs a lot less storage than a teenage girl, and a family bathroom may need to consider elderly family members. Making your bathroom wheelchair accessible could save you thousands down the line. You may also want to accommodate a washer and dryer in the bathroom, since it’s where clothes are taken off frequently. Also consider safety and cleaning. Ensure no-one will slip and hurt themselves, and consider that many little tiles will make for many little nooks for grime to accumulate, whereas big surfaces like a sink that is integrated with the vanity counter, or a big mirror will make wiping down the surface much easier than having sinks sitting on top or an intricately designed mirror.

3 Your Style Determines The Colours and Fixtures You Choose

When looking at bathroom photos on Houzz, you’ll probably lean towards a certain style pretty soon. Are you into rustic charm, modern beach house style or a mix of styles? This will determine if you opt for whites, greys and blues or if you go for dark cabinets, black floor tiles or bronze fixtures. Specifically, you want to consider:

Tiling

Are you going to tile floors and walls? There’s so many possibilities, from your choice of tile to how they are laid. If you’re budget conscious, you may want to consider a wallpaper or paint for certain areas. A simple grey tile can make room for other elements to shine, while mosaics or a subway tile can make a great feature wall.

Lighting

Lighting doesn’t only look pretty, but can impact your bathroom experience significantly. The mirror is a special area you want to light well, so that you don’t miss any hair when shaving or can apply that perfect line to your eye.

Furniture & Fixtures

Pay attention to how colours of cabinets and floor can impact a room. You may want to consider a wooden floor for something different and pair it with simple white vanity and cabinets, or you may want to go for the steampunk look with bronze tubes and black walls. Consider what type of shower, bathtub (if any), toilet, sink and vanity you want. Maybe you have space for a generous spa with walk-in shower, or maybe you want a freestanding bath to be the feature of the room.
