BATHROOMS can be serene or funky, colourful, but hopefully never boring -- especially if you have just spent money renovating or recently moved into a new house. And obviously they have to be functional, so you're out the door looking good each morning. We found a series of snazzy items to add dash to one of the favourite rooms in the house.
1. Green mates: Add a bit of funk into your bathroom with this washable mat that's easy on the feet. The multi-coloured teardrop design is 53 by 86 centimetres and costs $34.95. Keep the green theme going with this sturdy ceramic waste bin. It's 25.4 cm tall and can be bought for $49.95. Green teardrops also make an appearance on these ceramic soap dishes. The oval-shaped dish measures 14 by 10 cm. They are $10.95. All can be found at the Linen Chest.
2. Aqua throne: This fishy toilet seat is a fun alternative to the standard white issue (now that's boring). Make-believe dolphins are in the swim with this transparent, acrylic seat that adds a three-dimensional appeal. It fits any standard toilet. Find it at Walmart stores for $29.88.
3. Space saver: Enhance your bathroom space with a smart rinsing glass that conveniently mounts to your wall. A pretty scalloped base cradles the glass and this space-saving idea will eliminate water stains that often accumulate on your counter. The cup is 10 centimetres high. Pick it up at IKEA for $9.99.
4. Quiet time: The perfect way to unwind after an irritating day is to indulge in a long, relaxing bubble bath. Dim the lights and enjoy the calmness created by these scented candles. The dark wooden plates can be strategically placed around the tub and loaded with vanilla jasmine and cranapple-scented candles to make your troubles fade away. The plates are 14 cm square and are $4.27 each, the candles are approximately 10 cm tall and cost $8.47 each. They are available at Walmart.
5. Clean brush: This crisp, stainless-steel holder is a simple way to conceal your toilet brush. The modern holder stands 30.5 cm high, supporting a durable plastic brush armed with a stainless steel tip. Available at IKEA for $14.99.
6. Brush holder: Add a polished toothbrush holder to your stainless-steel ensemble. It supports up to four toothbrushes and will catch lingering water droplets in the handy bottom tray. It stands approximately 17 cm tall. Find it at IKEA for $9.99.
