Curated Finds for Viv — Stool for Your Bathroom
Dear Viv,
Inspired by your brief, I have curated your personalised edit with a selection of storage stools that balance practicality with style.
I found some really beautiful options that I believe would work perfectly in your bathroom, while keeping your budget and your preferences for contemporary, minimalist, and mid-century modern design in mind. With your dark blue walls and crisp white tiles, there is a wonderful opportunity to introduce warmth, texture, and subtle contrast through the addition of a storage stool.
As you were looking for a round design with hidden storage, I focused on pieces that offer practical functionality while still feeling decorative and considered. Whether you prefer a tonal look or would like to introduce a pop of colour, I hope these finds help bring personality and softness to the space.
I hope you enjoy exploring your curated edit, and I would love to hear which pieces you feel most drawn to.
Warmly,
Iokasti
I instantly fell for this option because the burnt orange tone would look incredible against your matt dark blue walls. The contrast feels bold but still sophisticated, and it adds a lovely warmth to balance the cooler tones in the room. If you'd like your bathroom to feel a little more playful and design-led, this is such a fun choice. The hidden storage is generous too, making it ideal for keeping spare towels or toiletries tucked away.
If you prefer a more cohesive look, this version of the Samena stool is a beautiful alternative. The deep blue creates a tonal scheme that feels calm and elevated without becoming flat. I love the idea of layering different shades of blue in a space like this, especially when paired with crisp white tiles. It feels understated, elegant, and timeless.
This piece immediately caught my eye because it feels a little unexpected. The soft denim-blue upholstery adds character without overpowering the room, while the rounded silhouette keeps it feeling contemporary. I think this stool brings a slightly whimsical quality to the space and would work beautifully if you want your bathroom to feel a touch more relaxed and playful.
There's something about the shape of this stool that feels effortlessly mid-century modern. The curved lines paired with the tactile bouclé fabric create a lovely contrast against the clean lines of your bathroom. I also really like the softer beige tone here — it would sit beautifully against both the white tiles and dark blue walls, adding warmth and texture without competing with the rest of the scheme.
I included this piece because I love the combination of speckled bouclé and walnut wood. The timber base adds warmth and helps ground the space, which can be especially effective in bathrooms with cooler finishes. This feels like the cosiest option in the edit and would work beautifully if you're looking to create a more inviting, spa-like atmosphere while still keeping the overall look minimal and refined.
