Bathroom Suites: The Creative Hub

Bathroom suites are not just functional, practical places – they can be places of refuge for the creatively-inclined.

For poets, writers, thinkers, inventors and creators, both amateur and professional, bathroom suites are an unspoken secret weapon. Lying in the bath, standing in the shower, sitting on the toilet even provide an element of alone time that be just enough to spark an idea or formulate a concept. Bathroom suites may appear on the face of it, unglamorous, but with good design and tasteful bathroom furniture and bath and shower fittings, the bathroom can become a mini-sanctuary. A quick look online at the latest blogs reinforces the idea bathroom suites can harbour creative minds.

Bathroom Suites: Increase your Creativity

A busy but artistic mum wrote on her blog that rather than take a crossword or magazine into the bathroom, she has started taking a pen and a journal. Her bathroom suite is her sanctuary: “That is where I can write an instant poem," she wrote. “Or I can brainstorm a scene in my novel. Or I can sketch a drawing I've been thinking about but never had the opportunity to get started on." Even if you're not a creative spark, the bathroom suite offers space to relax, collect your thoughts, make things-to-do lists or catch up with your favourite novel. The blogger continued: “Maybe this is just a little corner of that "room of one's own" Virginia Woolf talked about."

Bathroom Suites – Lying in the Bath

Lying in the bath is not only a way to create time and space to think, research by the school of psychology at the Australian National University found that we are smarter and more creative lying down than standing up. So when you're choosing your bathroom suite, make sure it has a nice long bath. The study found people were more prone to solving anagrams lying down. Dr Lipnicki who conducted the study said: “Solving an anagram often produces an ‘A-ha!’ moment — the answer appears suddenly, often out of the blue. These ‘insight’ moments are similar to what people experience when achieving creative breakthroughs."

The perfect bath: Eureka!

Famously, Greek mathematician Archimedes yelled 'Eureka' after lying in his bath – supposedly so excited by his discovery, he ran around the streets naked. So if you're struggling with writers' block or are looking for a solution to a problem, you'll be glad you invested in a high quality bathroom suite – just make sure you have a dressing gown to hand!
