Victorian Bathroom Photos
A dark brown bathroom suite in Norwich with flower patterned floor-to-ceiling tiles has been crowned the worst bathroom in the UK.
Hundreds of Brits submitted photos of their bathrooms for Victorian Plumbing's search for the nation's worst bathroom, with interior designer and Changing Rooms star Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen whittling the list down to the final four.
The public then voted for a winner, with this brown bathroom in Norwich crowned as Britain's worst – presumably down to its suite, taps, badly tiled bath and overall 70s style.

Mum-of-two Sarah Smith, 42, from Hellesdon, Norwich, moved into the house with the winning worst bathroom a year ago.
'Many people have asked me if I feel embarrassed. No was my answer,' she said. 'My brown bathroom was clearly someone's pride and joy at some point as it's as good as the day it was put in many years ago.
'It is very dark in my bathroom and it is not a relaxing place to take a bath. I look forward to brightening it up and it looking fresh and clean all the time.'
Perhaps not surprising, green and brown were common themes among the finalists of the competition, with avocado suites, carpeted floors and bathrooms with no flooring at all getting a big thumbs down.

The competition follows research by Victorian Plumbing which revealed 34 per cent of Brits would like to update their bathroom, with one-in-five admitting they're embarrassed with their current one. Some 61 per cent changed or renovated their bathroom when they moved homes.
Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen said: 'Badly designed bathrooms are a sign of low self-esteem. When you're faced with a bathroom that looks absolutely repellent first thing in the morning, how are you going to face the world with a smile on your face? It's practically impossible.

'The big thing with bathroom design is to keep it practical, keep it cleanable. Anything too fussy, too frilly or too porous will end up becoming a boutique hotel for mould and germs.'
Laurence added: 'Finally, floral is fine in a bathroom, but try and pick flowers that actually look like flowers rather than leftover cabbages.'
