Traditional meets trendy in this gorgeous black & white tiled bathroom. Winckelmans White 5cm dots and 15cm black octagon floor tiles add the finishing touch. The black and white theme is carried over in the white subway tile, open shelving and sleek black tub. Photo courtesy of Olde English Tiles Australia.

Victorian Bathroom with Clawfoot Bathtub

The space is a harmonious blend of modern and whimsical elements, featuring a striking cloud-patterned wallpaper that instills a serene, dreamlike quality. A sleek, frameless glass shower enclosure adds a touch of contemporary elegance, allowing the beauty of the tiled walls to continue uninterrupted. The use of classic subway tiles in a crisp white finish provides a timeless backdrop, complementing the unique wallpaper. A bold, black herringbone floor anchors the room, creating a striking contrast with the lighter tones of the wall. The traditional white porcelain pedestal sink with vintage-inspired faucets nods to the home's historical roots while maintaining the clean lines of modern design. A chrome towel radiator adds a functional yet stylish touch, reflecting the bathroom's overall polished aesthetic. The strategically placed circular mirror and the sleek vertical lighting enhance the bathroom's chic and sophisticated atmosphere.

I designed this master bath vanity and had it built, using parts I ordered from four different suppliers. Counter is soapstone. Shelves are glass, supported by brass tubing. Mirror is a built-in Robern. Floor tiles are soapstone. Not shown is an antique cast iron corner tub. Notice the vintage scale and makeup mirror! Photo by Julia Gillard

The shower area in this principal bathroom is a study in modern elegance, framed by a minimalist glass enclosure that complements the continuous marble-effect tiling. The expansive showerhead promises a luxurious experience, echoed by the high-quality fixtures and fittings. A built-in niche provides a discreet storage solution for toiletries, maintaining the clean lines and uncluttered feel of the space, while the understated color scheme ensures a timeless and sophisticated ambiance.
