Now one of the most important rooms in the home, it is still rare to find seating solutions in the bathroom. Sit down, relax and get comfortable.

From taking time out to pamper ourselves to bathing the children, we now spend an increasing amount of time in the bathroom, However, perching on top of the toilet does little to enhance the experience. Introduce some seating and all of a sudden you have somewhere to put your clothes before you jump into the shower and a place to relax while filling the bath. 

Clover chair designed by Ron Arad for Driade

The classic Panton chair from Vitra works well in all styles of interior, or for a bang-up-to date look, choose Rod Arad’s Clover chair for Driade. Both are suitable for outdoor use, making them ideal for the steamy bathroom environment.

Even the tiniest of spaces can benefit from seating. A vintage fold-up camping stool topped with a plush cushion takes up little floor space and can be tucked away when not in use.
