Do you remember what it was like to be little? Bathroom designs that are child-friendly can be a big challenge. But with London’s ever-growing population, young families are increasingly asking about child-ready design options. The biggest issue is always how to create a bathroom design that children won’t quickly outgrow? We all realise that what seems fab to a 8-year-old at a London primary school could well seem drab by the time he/she turns 11 and enters the local secondary.

Children love colours, but London’s best bathroom designers know when enough is enough. A great technique is to maintain a neutral shell by choosing cream or caramel for the walls and floors. Dashes of colour can be incorporated in the form of rugs, tiles and ornamentation. Some famous London bathroom designers love to rely on asparagus, lemon, blueberry or aubergine for a child’s bath – and importantly these colours are much less overbearing and forward than (say) salmon or carrot.

The biggest bathroom design requirement for younger children is that there is sufficient space to move around. This can be quite a challenge in some smaller London residences. Some designers will include a mini-stool that children can step up onto to reach the washbasin. It can quickly slide out of sight when not needed. Touchfree taps reduce the amount of reaching for small hands, and the bathroom design team can even pre-set the temperature to make sure children won’t get burnt.

Finally, a great idea is to personalise the bathroom design by pinning children’s art or craftwork onto the walls. I have seen London family homes where the children painted a special tile underneath the washbasin, or the bathroom designer maybe allowed them to colour a mirror frame. This can add to the sense of fun and child-like delight.

In the next article in my series “Understanding Bathroom Design,” I’ll turn to designs for the elderly.

The vessel-style washbasin has been around for many centuries. It originated not in London but in Ancient China, before the existence of piped water or water treatment facilities, when people simply needed a vessel in which to hold water that had been drawn from the local well. But in the context of bathroom design, today’s vessel-style basin is free-standing and sits directly atop a bathroom counter or similar furniture unit. The London interior designer can source all sorts of different styles, dimensions and appearances, to match almost any bathroom design imaginable. One can select from a wide array of standard materials, including metal, glass, and semiprecious stone, or – for super-luxury bathroom designs – one may turn to gemstone-embedded or jewelled models.

What are the advantages of a vessel-style washbasin over a more traditional model? These basins aren’t constrained to slide into a regular-sized hole within a standard counter. Accordingly, London’s top bathroom designers can benefit from much more creative designs and shapes, with non-symmetric detailing and unusual footprints adding visual interest. Many vessel-style basins are taller in the back than in the front – a big boost for a smaller London bathroom design that needs a “touch of flair” but that has no space for a rear splashback.

Clients often tell me they have fallen in love with a standalone basin but just can’t figure out where it should go, perhaps because it doesn’t quite fit in their existing bathroom design. In such cases I may recommend the basin be installed in a London powder room, where it will serve mainly for handwashing – instead of shaving, brushing one’s teeth and giving the household chihuahua a bath.

In the next article in my series “Understanding Bathroom Design,” I’ll return to eco-friendly bathroom designs in London and discuss how to clean and maintain your bathroom in a way that helps protect the environment.

1 – to control the light coming in to the room

2 to govern the heat coming in to the room

3 – to regulate your privacy

4 – to be fashionable

Lets begin with maybe the most flexible of blinds, the Vertical Blind. These are maybe the most typical type of blind in Essex. Close the louvres and they make a “wall” of fabric. Open them and you can see thru the openings. Rotate the louvres at an angle and you can stop folk seeing in or out from one direction, but still let your required quantity of light in.

also they are the most economical for covering a big area. Plenty of folks still think of them as office blinds, but things are changing with a big choice of fabrics including leather effect, suede, PVC and so on.

Next the Venetian style blind. Folks choose this type of blind in Essex for privacy. This blind goes horizontally across the window. With these styles of blinds you can tilt the slats to stop folk looking up or down, but still let light in. One of the best methods to clean them however [*COMMA] is with a feather duster.

Wooden Venetians are an incredibly preferred choice of blinds in Essex at the instant as they are very natural and give a warm feeling to a room. Available in three slat sizes they offer a natural looking finish to a room.

Check the wood comes out of a sustainable source and do not feel tempted to buy instant wooden venetians from one of the blind shops in Essex as these are typically inferior quality which will warp.

Roller blinds in Essex are the can be the easiest of blind. They are either up, down or somewhere in the middle. You get tiny risk to manipulate the light other than obstructing in completely.

Again, you can not actually control the light, but for fashion they are exceptionally good, as there are far more colors, patterns and shapes you can use. Put them all together and there are thousands of combinations to make your rollers look as you would like them for your Essex home.

The commonest place to govern the heat is a conservatory, and pleated blinds come into there own in this instance. These blinds are largely rollers but with a fold each 25mm or so. Special backings are available to reflect more of the hear back from your conservatory, and protect you from the Essex sun.

Conservatory roof blinds also have wires or nylon wires to support them and stop them from sagging in your conservatory roof.

All the blinds discussed are available as blinds in Essex.
