Another design idea is a bead board paneling the height of the wall under the window around the entire space creating a separated area for photos\/artwork. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of us think a sink must protrude into the space but look\u2026.an elongated sink made for two is unobtrusive. &nbsp;And next to the sink is a heated towel holder.   Many of the old homes have moisture and towels don\u2019t dry properly\u2026thus heated towel holders work well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s try some creative ideas\u2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>This space would most likely (in the old world) be used not only for comfort but also to make certain grooming was up to date. And so, a larger mirror perhaps with side sconces (electrical in our day, candle in Victorian times) to make certain grooming was perfect.  <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Although we can\u2019t see it a ceiling fixture was probably the only source of lighting and it can be a real stunner\u2026.not only for lighting but for artistic style.  <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li> Plants in the window well are a welcomed addition and perhaps adding more to this area and maybe adding glass shelves over the water closet for a more environmental feel. Don\u2019t forget plants can be a wonderful addition to the floor by the w\/c (Water Closet) and the window well as well as glass shelves above the w\/c<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Color !!!! why not choose wild wall covering for the upper part of the room and a corresponding color for the bottom wainscoting\u2026. go ahead, be wild.  <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Photos deserve a special area\u2026. how about to the right\/left of each sconce. &nbsp;Each group is tightly formed creating a feeling of a subject. <\/li><\/ul>\n<div class='sfsi_Sicons' style='width: 100%; display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle; text-align:left'><div style='margin:0px 8px 0px 0px; line-height: 24px'><span>Please follow and like us:<\/span><\/div><div class='sfsi_socialwpr'><div class='sf_subscrbe' style='text-align:left;vertical-align: middle;float:left;width:64px'><a href=\"http:\/\/www.specificfeeds.com\/widgets\/emailSubscribeEncFeed\/WUxYS1lmcHRyMDJ1Ty82ekJnVWVzREIvcE1HSU1kYTVUM2FpbUtQdXZIcno5bEs3bzBkdEJvWm13VUFsQnJJUUhhcDVwMHNwb2ZQQk1YVHhXVkw0dE9DVXloUCs3TmJYSkhHTjUxdzQ0MVh2b0lQczQwd3o5K3FKMGo5VC9NL0x8eFpZTk5sMGsyWk15RE1wci9hejFRZFN0MmVJMkxYaU5JNDJWN2l0bEJiTT0=\/OA==\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pillowgalleria.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/ultimate-social-media-icons\/images\/follow_subscribe.png\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class='sf_fb' style='text-align:left;vertical-align: middle;width:98px'><div class=\"fb-like\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pillowgalleria.com\/blog\/fun-interesting-water-closet-space\/\" width=\"180\" send=\"false\" showfaces=\"false\"  action=\"like\" data-share=\"true\"data-layout=\"button\" ><\/div><\/div><div class='sf_twiter' style='text-align:left;float:left;vertical-align: middle;width:auto'><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" data-count=\"none\" class=\"sr-twitter-button twitter-share-button\" lang=\"en\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.pillowgalleria.com\/blog\/fun-interesting-water-closet-space\/\" data-text=\"Small Bathroom Ideas: How to make your long\/narrow water closet space fun and interesting.\" ><\/a><\/div><div class='sf_pinit' style='text-align:left;vertical-align: middle;float:left;line-height: 20px;width:47px'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=&media=&description=\" data-pin-do=\"buttonPin\" data-pin-save=\"true\"data-pin-count=\"none\"><\/a><\/div><div class='sf_google' style='text-align:left;vertical-align: middle;float:left;max-width:62px;min-width:35px;'><div class=\"g-plusone\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.pillowgalleria.com\/blog\/fun-interesting-water-closet-space\/\" data-size=\"large\" data-annotation=\"none\" ><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many Victorian homes had a narrow toilet\/water closet space for visitors to use. &nbsp;&nbsp;For those facing a remodel of this space the question was\u2026.how to make it seem less like a tunnel???
