FIREPLACES IN THE BATHROOM
It feels like the last word in luxury - a fireplace in the bathroom. Imagine soaking in the tub, while dancing flames reflect against the cool white surface of the bath, warming your toes... This level of decadence may not be possible in every bathroom; however those of us who live in older houses may already have a fireplace in the bathroom which can possibly be recommissioned, or be used simply as a focal point or as interesting and engaging storage. Whether we have a fireplace or not, it's likely that the room is warmed by a radiator or heated towel rail these days - and we're so glad it is, as imagine stepping out of the bath into an unheated room... The Romans naturally had this sorted, with their underfloor heating in public bathhouses; however for centuries after, if our ancestors wanted to perform their ablutions without freezing, it was time to stick the tin bath in front of the kitchen fire! In the Victorian period, as plumbing increasingly moved indoors, the idea of the bathroom developed, and wealthier households had washing rooms designed for comfort as well as function.
They've kept it as simple as possible, with the fireplace running seamlessly into the surrounding white marble. The dark grate gives the otherwise light bathroom a dramatic focal point. The fire may be fake - but that's probably a far easier option in a bathroom! The marble plinth again adds a touch of luxury and elegance. Positioning an artwork above the fireplace in a potentially steamy bathroom feels a bit high-risk in real life; however the chrome bowls add a nice bit of accent shine - along with preventing the natural human urge to use the mantelpiece as a handy shelf for toothpaste and shampoo bottles... To replicate this luxurious fireplace, Thornhill Galleries goes for clean lines in contrasting shades. Marble always feels like the right material for a bathroom - cool, calming, and light-reflecting.
