Most of us think about towels, skincare products and candles when we picture a dream bathroom. But the piece that often gets overlooked is also the one that quietly transforms the space: the bathroom stool.
What Is a Bathroom Stool Used For?
A stool in the bathroom isn’t just a perch. It’s one of the most versatile pieces of furniture you can own.
For Bathing Rituals
Whether you’re supervising bath time with little ones or indulging in a long soak yourself, a stool gives you a place to pause. It can hold a glass of wine, your favourite book or even just the towel you’ll reach for when you’re ready to step out.
As a Skincare Seat
Leaning over the sink to do your skincare or shave your legs isn’t exactly comfortable. Having a stool in the bathroom gives you a proper seat, turning the rushed morning routines into a little more of a ritual.
As Bathroom Storage
Bathrooms never seem to have enough storage. A stool becomes an elegant place to add folded towels, a candle or your beauty products.
As Décor
More than functional, a well-designed stool doubles as a style statement. It adds architectural interest to the room and makes your bathroom feel intentional rather than just practical.
What to look for in a Bathroom Stool
Not all stools are created equal. The right one should be more than just a temporary fix.
Mould-Resistant Materials
Wooden stools may look nice at first, but in a wet bathroom environment, they’re prone to mould and warping. Cheap plastic options avoid the mould problem but sacrifice style. A premium bathroom stool uses materials designed to resist moisture while still looking timeless.
Timeless Design
Choosing a stool with clean lines and a beautiful silhouette makes sure it works in any space, from minimalist to luxe.
Multi-Purpose Functionality
The best bathroom stools don’t just live in the bathroom. They can move seamlessly into the bedroom, living room or even outdoors for an extra seat or stylish side table.
A stool adds a spa-like feel without a renovation. Pair it with fresh towels, a favourite candle, and your evening skincare ritual, and you’ve created your own self-care sanctuary at home.
Choosing the Right Bathroom Stool for Your Space
When choosing a stool, it’s worth considering both style and practicality.
Style and colour: Look for tones that complement your tiles, towels, and overall aesthetic. A stool can either blend in seamlessly or act as a design accent.
Size and proportions: Make sure the stool fits comfortably in your space without crowding it. A well-proportioned piece feels intentional, not like an afterthought.
Versatility: A stool you can use in more than one room means better value and longevity.
Our Chapter One Stool, comes in four curated colourways: Sage, Cannoli Cream, Desert Sand and Mousse. Each is designed to blend with modern interiors while adding that architectural edge.
