When you think furniture, most people think of their living room, bedroom, or dining room – the places you spend most of your time. But there’s another key place that can be vastly improved by the right furniture: the bathroom.
"The bathroom?!" you say, "What furniture do you need for a bathroom?"
While a toilet, sink, and shower might be all you need for the most basic of bathrooms, the right furniture can make your space much more convenient, not to mention more stylish. Here are just a few of our favorite ways to use furniture to bring your bathroom up to speed on style.
Seating
Vanity stools are a pretty common element of bathroom decor, but what if you could do more with your seating?
It's becoming more and more common to bring arm chairs and even couches into the bathroom, in order to give yourself and your guests a little extra room to stretch out. Try a stylish, mid-century modern arm chair, or even a set of small poufs for lounging while your face mask dries. Outdoor furniture is another brilliant style choice: besides the fact that bringing outdoor furniture in is a major design trend right now, they're also built to resist the kind of moisture that easily builds up in the bathroom. Wicker or metal seating accented with weatherproof throw pillows is a clean and stylish look in any bathroom.
Storage
Who says you have to rely on ugly plastic racks to hold all your bathroom necessities? Swap out those rickety shelves for something sturdier and more elegant.
A wooden armoire or bureau provides a unique place to store towels, toiletries, and other decor you'd like to proudly display. Console tables built for a narrow hallway are also great for providing a little extra storage to the typically cramped space in most bathrooms.
Feel free to get creative too! Depending on the style you're going for, these storage pieces can be a great place to introduce a pop of color to your bathroom. Paint an antique piece yourself, or stop by our store to find some furniture with flair! We've got storage in all shapes, sizes, colors, and styles, so you're sure to find something that fits your bathroom just right.
Surfaces
Most people just rely on countertops and shelving to stash items, but some extra surface space can make a big difference in your decor. Bring in a freestanding console table for displaying knickknacks, lighting, and even live plants. A small side table is a great addition beside a bathtub, as a simple way to hold scented candles and mugs of tea while you relax in the tub.
Rugs
No, not carpets, rugs!
While we definitely don’t recommend the oh-so-seventies look of wall-to-wall carpeting for your bathroom, rugs can be the perfect accent to your furniture and help cut the uncomfortable cold of the tiles underfoot. A long, patterned rug can bring some life and luxury into your kitchen space without the wacky, tacky look that so many bath mats tend to have. Keep it simple and classy with this bathroom accessory, and your space will feel more inviting in no time.
Sinks
Here's one spot you can really let those creative juices flow: the sink!
It's a staple of any bathroom, but with an eye for the right furniture, you can transform your sink into something completely unique! Dresser drawers, side tables, consoles, and buffets can all be remodeled to become a functional sink with a just slab of your favorite marble or quartz and a bit of plumbing work. Especially if the furniture piece you choose has built-in storage, these makeshift sinks can be much more convenient -- not to mention much more eye-catching -- than whatever was originally built in to the wall. If you make your new sink out of a furniture piece you'd love to have anywhere in your home, you'll actually look forward to getting up and brushing your teeth in the morning!
Your bathroom furniture can be as fun and functional as you want, and with unique furniture from our store, your bathroom is sure to stand out. So don't let your bathroom blend in with the rest of your home! Give it a bold look all its own with beautiful furniture to boost your style and make your life more comfortable and convenient.
