What Every Bathroom Needs

September 1st, 2010

Everyone has their favourite room in their house, and in other peoples’ even. For some it’s their bedroom and the treat of lying peacefully and reading late on a Sunday morning, for others it’s the workshop behind the garage and for a lot of us bathrooms are the only answer. We know we will not be as easily disturbed in our bathrooms as elsewhere. It is actually acceptable to look the bathroom door, to the immense gratitude of mothers worldwide. The bathroom is also, somewhat unfairly I maintain, the only room in the house in which I am officially allowed to sing and singing is recognized to be excellent therapy for harried working moms. Those of us with bathroom addictions have become rather dependant on the rituals we create in these spaces and on the things that simply have to be there to make the experience whole.

Now, nobody really wants to spend half their life sitting wet in a bathtub just so that they can have some me time. It is not practical and the water bill would go through the roof. That is why you have to have to have at least one hefty and really comfortable armchair in your bathroom, one accommodating enough for you to curl up in with your legs tucked under you and a captivating book in your hand that still has at least a hundred pages left to read. You can even drag a chair from the lounge if you have to. Just remember, if you said you were going in to wash your hair you must either wait till it dries before you emerge, or wet it on your way out.

And if your bathroom has an armchair to read in then you need reading material. Books and the right ones, trashy but not too trashy, and ones that you don’t have a sentimental attachment to, just in case they fall in the bath. Magazines are good for when you can’t be bothered to read words and just want to stare at a picture of how you would look with a facelift and a personal trainer. They are also great for helping you mentally reorganize your entire wardrobe as they tell you what not to wear. If, however, you wore that very item of clothing to work that day, toss the magazine aside with gusto.

Like it or not you have to have a set of scales in your bathroom and not the kind you use for measuring flour. It is after all the only place where you know for sure that no one will be peeking over your shoulder when you stand on it and stand on it we must if we are to fight the good fight. And no matter what it says you weigh, never throw the scales, bathrooms are sacred quiet places remember.

Bathrooms can be a sanctuary and we can make them gorgeous with all sorts of trimmings and tiles. Ultimately though it is what happens in rooms that demine them, so call your kids as well sometimes and get silly with them in the bathroom as they splash in the bath. Bathrooms can be too white or too cold, but they can never have too much laughter.
