In addition to the purpose it has been conceived for, the bathroom can be used also for other reasons, to be transformed into a relaxation area or into a room where you can take care of your body, for example, thus it needs to be furnished in a proper way. The bathroom, moreover, like all the other rooms of the house, should be furnished in a way that reflects the style of the house, the personality of its inhabitants and a certain aesthetic taste. For all of these reasons the choice of the bathroom is not limited to the choice of  toilet bowls, washbowls, tubs and showers, but it also includes the choice of other pieces of furniture, accessories and design objects.

When you have to choose the furniture for your bathroom, you need to consider first of all your budget and the size of the room. If you can spend a bit more and the room is big enough, you can turn your bathroom into a real relaxation area. Instead of the common tub, for example, you can have a Jacuzzi installed, where you can have long baths and get rid of the stress of the day. To make all even more relaxing, you can enrich the room with scented candles or little lights. The most demanding people can choose a chromotherapy tub or a real Turkish bath: if the room is big enough, you can install all the necessary things to have all the advantages of a Turkish bath in your own house.

As far as the essential features of the bathroom is concerned, i.e. toilet bowls, washbowls, tubs and showers, the choice is not straightforward at all: with different models and shapes of bowls and washbowls you are really spoilt for choice, not to speak about materials and colors. While in the past the choice of white was almost obligatory, nowadays you can choose among many different colors and try to match the colors of these elements with the ones of furniture, tiles, carpets, curtains and accessories, all important, apparently minor features, which are necessary to give the room a special touch. The best shops offer a wide range of furniture and accessories, and sometimes it does not take much to give a room a very personal style. For example you can choose design pieces of furniture where to put creams, cleanser and clean towels, or toilet paper roll holders with particular shapes and colors. If the room is big enough, you can furnish your room also with chairs, stools and even a chaise longue, where you can lie while you wait for the face mask to take effect.

With some little devices and a bit of imagination, also your bathroom can turn into a cozy room to be proud of.
