More and more homeowners are using a bathroom stool as a functional and decorative piece of furniture inside their bathrooms. They are great for keeping your bath essentials and towels within reach next to the tub and are easy to pull up when it is time to give the kids a bath. Stools not only add a place to sit beside the bathtub or at a makeup vanity, but they can also add to your décor. An arrangement of flowers or décor pieces on top of the stool will instantly transform any bathroom into a spa-like environment.
Wood bathroom stools are the most popular, regardless of what type of home design is used in the bathroom. From rustic natural wood stools to sleek black painted wood stools, there are a variety of wooden stool styles to suit your space
