The smallest room in the house

In South Africa we usually call them cloakrooms or guest loos. They seem to be called powder rooms in America and I'm not sure what they are called in other parts of the world. They are often the smallest rooms in our homes and a room where we can be quite indulgent, where form can be more important than function. The basins don't have to handle anything heavy duty, just some gentle hand washing. They don't have to contain a myriad of toiletries, just some luxury soap and hand lotion, beautiful linen hand towels, some flowers and a scented candle or fragrant room spray. It is a room where we can spoil and indulge our guests, make them feel special and pampered. Here are some of my favourites.

The stone or cement basins and rustic elements are so beautiful....

Gorgeous metal basins....

Lovely, feminine versions.....

 

More contemporary styles....

 ....and finally, my version. My boys have been banned from using it. Accuracy is not their strong point so it really wouldn't be fair to my guests! :)  

Till next time
