A colonial bathroom is simple and orderly: painted beadboard, a pedestal sink and a floor you could play draughts on.

What a colonial bathroom looks like

White or pale blue beadboard runs to chair-rail height beneath a painted upper wall, and a pedestal or washstand sink stands under a mirror in a plain wood frame. The floor is black and white checkerboard tile or wide painted boards, the tub is a clawfoot or a simple white surround, and fixtures are brass or polished nickel with a cross-handle design. A candle-style sconce lights the mirror, and a wooden ladder holds towels.

Try it on your own bathroom

Upload a photo of your bathroom, restyle it in Colonial, and send the result to whoever shares the space as a which-one poll. Then step inside the winner in 360°. The tub, shower and toilet stay where the plumbing puts them; wall finish, sink style, floor tile, fixtures and lighting are what change.

Details worth getting right

  • Beadboard and a chair rail give the room its structure at low cost
  • Cross-handle taps in brass or nickel suit the style better than a modern single lever
  • A simple checkerboard floor is the quickest colonial signal
  • Candle-style sconces with a warm bulb give period-correct light
