10 Cool Ideas For Creating Nature-Themed Bathrooms

When nature calls at home, most of us head into a room — devoid of nature. The typical bathroom is all tiles, paint and glass. But it needn’t be. Placing potted plants around your shower enclosure or a vase of flowers by your sink can add a touch of nature to almost any bathroom. Or, you could do something more extreme.

Have Wood Burning Spa Will Travel

Spot Cool Stuff adores glamping travel. Glamorous camping can get you out into a natural environment in the same way tent camping does. But it combines that with touches of luxury like you might find at a high-end hotel. After spending much of our youth backpacking on a rock-bottom budget, we think we’ve earned a bit of luxury.

Much of what we write about glamping on this travel blog concerns resorts that combine aspects of roughing it with aspects of being pampered. (Our review of these 5 especially wondering glamping spots is a good place to start reading about those). We also appreciate products that let travelers create their own glamping experience. Our favorite of those might be this:

It requires a certain personality type to have a see-through bathtub at home. Even if you always take your baths in total privacy there’s something about a transparent tub that says I don’t mind people seeing every part of me from all angles.

Those who can pull off a clear tub will almost certainly get a cool bathroom as a result. Not only do clear tubs convey a distinctively modern look they also help make a bathroom look larger and more open.

Here are six of Spot Cool Stuff’s favorite see-through bathtubs:

Read And Roll
spot cool stuff DESIGN

In the United States, reading and toilets go together like, well, toilet paper and toilets. The average American spends nearly 41 hours a year reading on the toilet. We couldn’t find statistics for toilet reading in other countries, but it must be an international phenomena because best designed combination toilet-paper-holder-and-magazine-rack we’ve spotted comes not from the U.S.A. but from Turkey.

Cool Websites For Home Remodeling & Redecoration

Home remodeling and decoration has been part of owning a house for as long as there have been houses to own.
