A Discussion On Bathroom Furniture In The 21st Century

By Moe Kittaneh

Whether you redecorate or decorate your home for the first time, starting off with the bathroom is not only wise, but also necessary. Because the actual room is not that big, you can slowly let your creativity take hold when you are ready to choose bathroom furniture.

Can you remember how dull and dreary your grandparents or even great grandparents' bathrooms looked like. This was only because they used their bathrooms for functionality. Aesthetics didn't play a huge role in those days, purely because industry had not yet become creative enough. There just wasn't enough demand.

Once plumbing moved into our homes, things started looking much better for the old bathroom. When material like porcelain become abundant, the manufacturers of bathroom furniture finally realized that they can be much more creative with color and shapes.

With time, our bathrooms became bigger and fuller. Now we have a myriad of things to choose from; like beautifully crafted vanities, basins and bath tubs. With these new features, there also sprouted bidets, urinals and functional showers. Needless to say, with each piece of furniture there was also an accompanied set of accessories.

Let us look at the shower. Many years back it was a stall like structure with a curtain hanging on a rod which enclosed a small space on the bathroom floor. Water had to run into a outlet drain which caused many problems. Today it's not just a frame and glass, but to a bathroom's ambiance and personality it can play a huge role. Glass doors or shutters are stylishly crafted with patterns or prints covering the glass.

The cream-de-la-cream in bathrooms, is no doubt the bath tub. Here you can really express your inner desires. How about a large old fashioned enamel one, standing on exquisitely crafted legs and matching faucets to boot! Or, if you want a body massage, why not get a water jet tub. Just think about lying in one and letting the water massage those tired bones. Also stunning would be a corner tub with lots of room for two!

Let's not forget the "throne" - which has of course taken on he life of it's own. Nowadays toilets are an art from. They are available in variety of colors, matching your bath tub and vanity of course. Have you seen some of the seat covers in the stores? They are even filled with water and have fish floating around.

Yes, bathroom furniture has come into it's own. The evolution was swift and painless. It is a thrill to be able to walk into a showroom where the entire bathroom is exhibited. You immediately know that maybe it's time for you to upgrade yours! - 33393
