Regardless of how old you are, you probably adore the feeling of a bubbly steam shower, maybe with the addition of fragranced salts and aromatherapy gels?

Bathroom designers in London today recognise that so many discerning homeowners crave a luxurious, indulgent, spa-style bathroom concept. And yet most of the public are completely unaware that there is literally heaps of history that impacts every modern bathroom idea or feature! Ask even the least design-aware individual to describe a standard bathroom, and most likely they will immediately start talking of stone, marble, white non-porous substrates and fresh cleanliness. Remarkably, these very ideas and concepts began to play a role in bathroom design schemes only in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries! And bathroom designers had to wait until at least 1925 before they got access to a range of accessories with which to add perfect stylish flair to designer bathrooms. But from there it just snowballed! Bathroom design professionals began to recommend high-end cupboards with interior illumination, they started to design recessed hideaways for keeping favourite shampoos or medicine bottles, and they got creative with storage areas that would make sure unsightly clutter was never seen. London’s bathroom design industry had finally come into its own!
