Feeling like I’m always playing catch-up with trends compared to others. I tend to lean towards safe choices when it comes to hard finishes like tile and flooring. However, a recent browse through World of Interiors sparked my interest in a unique trend – placing a pillow on the toilet. Initially, I found the idea a bit whimsical, but upon reflection, I realized it could add texture and softness to an otherwise hard surface. This led me on a quest to find the perfect “toilet pillow” and today, I’ll share my top picks along with guidelines on what makes a suitable toilet pillow if you’re tempted to try out this trend.
Toilet Pillows: Points to Consider
When selecting a toilet pillow, factors such as shape, size, and fabric are crucial. Consider the person’s comfort, bathroom habits, and opt for wipeable fabrics like Sunbrella. Avoid materials like velvet, boucle, or chunky knits. Leather can develop a unique patina but may not be everyone’s preference.
The Simple Square Or Rectangle Pillow
A square pillow can complement the sculptural shape of a toilet, adding dimension and contrast. A simple design like this can balance detailed toilet features and create a subtle visual interest.
A smaller rectangle pillow may be more suitable for maintaining balance in the bathroom decor. Opt for durable outdoor fabrics like Sunbrella for easy maintenance and a seamless blend with the surroundings.
Striped Lumbars
I’m particularly fond of these striped lumbar pillows. The vibrant pattern and longer shape offer great support, especially for older individuals needing extra back comfort. This choice adds a touch of fun and eclecticism, versatile enough to be used in different spaces. A busy pattern can also age gracefully over time.
Embracing Roundness
Exploring the trend of round or sphere pillows, I find the playful pom-pom design quite charming. It complements other round elements in the room and adds a touch of whimsy. Consider opting for earthy tones to create a warm and inviting look.
This elegantly tailored pillow with gold accents resonates well with the vintage frame above the toilet. The sophisticated design adds a touch of refinement to the space, elevating the overall aesthetic.
The Perfect Sphere
This smaller spherical pillow from Lulu and Georgia adds a touch of whimsy to the bathroom. Its compact size complements the toilet’s curves and provides a comforting element for those busy mornings.
A Bohemian Fringed Lady
While the fringed design of this pillow adds a bohemian flair, it may not be the most practical choice for a toilet pillow. Opt for styles that are easy to clean and maintain to avoid germ buildup.
A Semi-Circle Rainbow
This half-circle rainbow pillow fits perfectly on the toilet seat, offering a comfortable resting place. The design complements the toilet’s shape, creating a cohesive look. Consider muted color palettes for a sophisticated touch.
