1930's bathroom design
Hi,
After some deliberation we are deciding to renovate our upstairs bathroom (1930's semi) and change the shower that is downstairs to a utility.
I really would love a separate shower but i'm not sure if it's going to feel cramped with a bath.
Also a couple of design questions! I am swaying towards a more traditional look with part of the bathroom paneled. My husband has said that this will be harder to upkeep because it isn't as durable with condensation
1. Has anyone paneled the side of the bath-i'm not sure a tiled look would be right for us (i'm not fond of metro tiles). Would like a larger tile to minimise grout lines and make space feel bigger.
2. Is it necessary to have a tiled spashback behind the sink?
3. Can you advise on room layout to maximise storage?!
4. Thoughts on room layout with or without separate shower/bath or just bath only with overhead shower?
Photo attached of floor plan and current bathroom.
Thanks!

1930s bathroom tile dilemma
Comments (7)Always worth checking with Lasscos, if they don't have any then they may be able to suggest where you can get some, and who may be able to restore the ones you have. They have a few locations so worth going and having a look or at least giving them a call. They will also probably have some other 30s bathroom fixtures. I just love visiting them, dangerous though as I end up buying stuff. http://www.lassco.co.uk/...See MoreNEW BUILD: Master bathroom, Ensuite & Family bathroom

3 years agoIt might be a bit of a squeeze visually to have a separate shower. You could do this (assuming you can move the loo down) but obviously swap the sink with the loo and shower. These look to be 20cm tiles so the gap is 70cm. You can get short projection loos for c60cm, I would have a 60cm space as minimum which leaves a 40cm deep vanity.
I only have 60cm behind my sink however it’s a long narrow shower room and I’m not clambering out of a bath. Maybe try putting a box there to see how it works for you.
it could be that keeping the layout the same but go for either an 800 or even 900 wide bath would work better?I would suggest a shower bath but I guess that might not work with the look you want!
my bathroom has painted panelled walls in Eggshell which isn’t an issue but my downstairs loo is just in bathroom paint. we obviously don’t brush our teeth or anything in there but it’s fine so I would say no to tiles if you don’t want them. I haven’t got any condensation issues either. My mine is fully panelled to ceiling height. The only thing I would say is that it does gather dust and I’m in a hard water area so it has some splashes from the bath but no worse than cleaning wet room panels or tiles I guess!
