Romantic Bathrooms with Victorian Tiles by Designer Ceramics

Selecting Victorian bathroom tiles adds romanticism, style and sophistication to the space. The Victorian style is inherently romantic and ornamental in nature. Drawing from a mixture of inspirations such as Gothic revival, Byzantine and Romanesque styles.
The choice of wall colour for Victorian homes depends on the function of the space. Hallways, for example, are made in tones of neutral grey to avoid overshadowing other rooms. Bathrooms are adorned with ornate tiles, marble or wet plaster to make the wall look like blocks of stone. Walls are covered with ornamental wallpapers with darker tones, projecting a sense of classic drama, mystery and elegance to a room.
Designer Ceramics, Australia's leading manufacturers of Aesthetic Victorian Tiles and other period tiles, offer an innovative approach to embossed border design and production. They offer bathroom border tiles with trade accepted lengths of up to 8 inches or 198mm, but can customise to the original 6 inch (152mm) sizing favoured by more discerning clients.
Here are some examples of the Romantic Bathroom Aesthetic using Victorian Tiles.

Cord

The cord is the symbol of commitment and fidelity. This border tile design provides a perfect lining to a bathroom wall. The decorative border style adds a refreshing break to the monotony of neutral toned wall tiles.
Egg Dart

The Egg Dart design is a throwback to the Greek ornamental design, characterised by the egg shaped mould alternating with a vertical element, that can either be arrows, anchors or darts. Achieved by embossing the tiles using a dust pressing technique. Once the glazing is applied, a three-dimensional effect is achieved through the darkening of the deeper areas and the lightening of the higher set areas. Dark tones matching the Victorian aesthetic.
Corinthian

The Corinthian style is the most ornate design style derived from Ancient Greek and Roman architecture. Acanthus leaves are a common theme in this style and are known to be the most commonly used plant for foliage ornament and decoration.
Verona Cap

What could be more romantic than a decorative wall tile named after the infamous setting of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet? The Verona Cap is the perfect finishing piece to any embossed Victorian border tile. Its rounded edges are placed in the perimeters of walls or countertops.
The familiar adage "Romance is dead" does not apply to the Victorian style. Adding a romantic bathroom aesthetic using Victorian tiles requires an understanding of the Victorian era, but more so the right materials.
