Innovative Seating Ideas for Bathrooms
Even though toilets are often used as an improvised seating, many feel reluctant in using them in that manner regardless how comfortable the toilet cover is to sit on. Most bathrooms are not suited for sitting down, which is fine, since bathrooms are not used as sitting rooms.
The addition of seating in bathrooms can provide a soothing atmosphere, particularly when you are applying makeup or fixing your hair. If the bathroom is used by guests and elderly residents, a comfortable seating will be much helpful to them.
Although shower cubicles are usually designed for helping the occupant stand in it, installation of a seat proves to be ideal for those who take more time as also for the little disabled. A waterproof box can be retrofitted within the shower space to make for an easy seating option.
You can also incorporate wooden seating in your bathroom. Slatted benches are often used in the shower areas, but you must harmonize the wood strain of the bench with the cabinets’ fascias for a coordinated look.
A bathtub can be used as the best kind of seat that can be installed in the bathroom. If your bathroom has enough room, you can install a bathtub that extends in all directions, providing a large seating place surrounding the tub.
If your bathroom has limited space, you can always cover the storage units and vanity with well-fitting cushions to transform it into a perfect rest area. This will not create any problems in accessing the bathroom stores. Cushions covered in waterproof materials should be used to make them last long.
Wooden chairs can be kept adjacent to the tub for providing the bathroom a rustic look. A Queen Anne chair can be used with claw foot bathtubs to achieve a stylish look.
