This artistic bathroom is part of a renovation undertaken by interior designer Naomi Astley Clarke and Smith & Brooke Architects, in a six-bedroom townhouse in west London owned by a busy family. Most of it is done out in cool, monochrome, geometric prints – but tucked away on the top floor is this imaginative oasis.
“It’s a family bathroom,” explains Clarke, “but it’s mainly used by the three girls: two teenagers and a little one.” That already sounds like a tough brief; devising a room for one teenager is hard enough, let alone two, never mind ensuring it’s fun for the younger sister as well. The designer, however, was unfazed, coming up with a creative mix of grown-up pieces and a playful mural. “The latter was painted by Nancy Daniell. It’s a savannah scene with completely un-geographical animals in it,” she chuckles. “We just added animals we liked, so there are cheetahs and flamingos dotted about.”
