Choosing A Victorian Style Toilet Roll Holder
In a period style home there are a number of different designs of toilet roll holders that would be suitable alongside your Victorian toilet and can be matched with other chrome bathroom accessories.
Choosing A Victorian Style Toilet Roll Holder
Toilet roll holders are an essential accessory for any bathroom. Toilet rolls if left on the floor or on top of the toilet can be unhygienic to use or fall in and block the toilet. A Victorian style roilet roll holder can help keep your bathroom tidy and hygienic whilst also adding to your period home.
How to use bathroom shelves
Bathroom shelves can be used for toothbrushes, soap and the like and be situated above bathroom sinks and below bathroom mirrors. It’s important that the shelf matches and style and colours of the sink and taps.
How to use bathroom shelves
Bathroom shelves are available in a variety of sizes and styles to suit different usages. Chrome is the obvious choice in bathrooms to match other fixtures and fittings, and if it’s of a good quality it won’t rust. Many have rails on them to prevent the contents sliding off the shelf. Hotel bathrooms provide a good source of inspiration about how to be space efficient in a bathroom and where to locate shelfs for convenience.
History of Bathrooms
In more well to do households with indoor plumbing there would be decorative wash stands and wash basins, resembling the bathroom sink with plumbing which is relatively unchanged today.
History of Bathrooms
Personal hygiene in the Victorian period, and indeed in nearly every era preceding it, was not conducted with the same rigour as today. Victorian men and women would wash arms, hands and faces fairly regularly but the rest of the person was pretty much left to itself. This may seem remarkably smelly, but if everyone else smells the same then one assumes the odour becomes unremarkable.
