Bathroom Renovation Ideas for 1930s Semis

A well-designed bathroom can add significant value to your 1930s Semi while creating a luxurious daily retreat. Here are our top ideas for period-sympathet

Preserving Period Character

In a 1930s Semi, consider features like high-level cisterns, roll-top baths, and traditional radiators. These elements complement the architecture while modern internals ensure efficiency.

Maximising Space in Compact Bathrooms

Many 1930s Semis have smaller bathrooms. Wall-hung toilets, corner basins, and walk-in showers can make the most of limited space without feeling cramped.

Underfloor Heating: A Worthy Investment

Electric underfloor heating is perfect for bathroom renovations in 1930s Semis. Installation is straightforward during a refit, and running costs are minimal for the comfort gained.

Ventilation Solutions

Proper ventilation prevents damp and mould, especially important in older properties. We recommend humidity-sensing extractor fans that activate automatically.
