Makeovers

The owners of this bathroom achieved a classic look by buying a traditional-style bath online. White-painted tongue-and-groove panelling on the walls adds to the laid-back country theme.

Towel rail

A tall chrome heated towel rail was tucked around the corner so it doesn't dominate the room. The homeowner bought the console table at an auction.

A Roman blind made in a cerise floral fabric and co-ordinating towels break up the all-white scheme with pops of colour.

Roman blind

To keep costs down, the owner bought the floral fabric and made up the Roman blinds herself.

Bath

The period-style roll-top bath takes pride of place in this bathroom. Vinyl flooring is warm underfoot and perfect for a family bathroom.

Tap

To add to the traditional feel, the owner went for a period-style bath and shower/bath mixer tap. Letters spell out 'relax' on the shelf that runs around the top of the panelling.

Traditional basin

The Victorian-style basin ties in with the traditional theme. The chic wall mirror above the basin has a handy shelf.

Before the makeover

The new bathroom is barely recognisable from how it used to look, with dated floral wallpaper and peach wall tiles.
