The bathroom It is one of the home environments that sometimes, as regards the furniture, is left a little to chance. Both because often already from the beginning there is not too much room for this room, and because, generally, we focus, primarily on the other rooms, more frequented and visible, such as the living room or the bedroom.

In reality, when it comes to the bathroom, you tend to furnish it so that it is comfortable and practical to live it daily. We therefore go to the search for furniture capable of keeping the various accessories for toilet and body care in an orderly way, or the classic support tools such as the toilet paper holder or the drying holder. Very often, however, the presence of a stool is underestimated, especially if you don't have much space. This accessory, in fact, if used in the correct way it can be very practical for various reasons. Let's see the various ways in which the bathroom stool can be useful.
