Phoenix Euro Bathroom Furniture 750mm Unit White
What’s behind the appeal of fine furniture in the bath? A few factors come into play, says Deborah Burnett, a Nashville, TN-based spokesperson for the American Society of Interior Designers and a regular on HGTV.
For one thing, says Burnett, the notion of simple luxury has proven wildly attractive to consumers eager to seek refuge from their fast-paced lives and everyday worries. Nowhere in the home is this more evident than the bathroom, which has transformed into the ultimate getaway. Yesterday’s ho-hum utilitarian vanity can now resemble an elegant living room piece, making the bathroom a unique escape from the ordinary
Bathrooms are also getting larger, up to 200 to 300 square feet. “You have to fill that space, and you don’t want to have all countertop,” Burnett says. “The furniture look is most definitely appropriate for these bathrooms. I see armoires, upholstered chairs, and vanities that are true pieces of furniture rather than built-in cabinetry.”
In a small bathroom, “a homeowner is more willing to experiment with a freestanding vanity because the dollar investment is not as great as with a large bath,” Burnett says. “You also have more freedom to deviate from the style of the rest of the home. You’re more willing to take a chance with a freestanding vanity of an Asian motif, even if the rest of the home is traditional or French contemporary.”
Portable bath furniture is also a good fit for our transient society. “Folks are moving on a more regular basis and they don’t want to leave the things they truly admire and appreciate about their homes,” Burnett says. “They’re placing things that can go with them on a move: an armoire, an upholstered chair or a really great looking bakers rack, and other typical pieces of furniture.”
