It’s not often that we come across a completely new type of bathroom furniture. But recently that’s what we’ve seen in some of the world’s most prestigious hotels and resorts. Residents of London have never been hugely enthusiastic about the bidet, which many feel is more of a continental European invention. But today a fresh new alternative is considered highly sought-after among London’s top interior design companies: the Shatafa (also known as the Islamic douche).
News And Views From A London Interior Design Company – Victorian Revivals
The Victorian era covers the period 1837-1901. During this time, Queen Victoria ruled England from her throne in London’s celebrated Buckingham Palace. She was not known as an interior designer herself, but during her reign there was a revival of all sorts of design ideas from the past. Interior design companies of the time brought together an impressive collection of styles to create what came to be known as the Victorian aesthetic. These interior design companies borrowed ideas from Goth, Rococo, Baroque, and Neoclassic contexts. The Victorian style was the first to really bring the work of interior design companies into the mainstream. No longer just the domain of wealthy Londoners, the reach of the profession began to stretch throughout the empire – allowing even people with more modest incomes to get the elaborate interior decorations that they really craved.
