Bathroom Stores
A list of the coolest bathroom shops around.
Auto
Meatpacking District - New York, NY United StatesAuto focuses on home accessories mostly conceived by designers local to New York. That these designs would stand up in any major city, in any country are what make the store special. For textiles, there are striking beach towels in a zig-zagged...
C.S. Post & Co.
Chestnut Street District - Hays, KS United StatesTo our best recollection, none of the general stores we've seen in westerns look anything like C.S. Post & Co. But that's OK, we kind of prefer their version of general store anyway, with its stylish merchandising and hundreds of interesting, luxurious home and personal products....
Fluid Living
Distillery District - Toronto, ON CanadaModern furniture stores are known for the sparse merchandising, 3-items-in-a-room syndrome shall we call it. At Fluid Living the furniture is certainly modern but they opted for the 3000-item-in-a-really-large-room business model. The 6000...
Foster's Urban Homeware

Orange Skin
River North - Chicago, IL United StatesIn other modern furniture stores we seen shelves lined with miniatures of classic modern chairs. At Orange Skin we saw the same thing, only in the full size variety. Such is the scale at which the store operates. Opened by two architects, expect...
Plushpod
Third Street - Los Angeles, CA United StatesYes, if you furnished your home top to bottom with furniture and accessories from Plushpod your space would look rather severe--high-concept modern furniture has a way of going there. But that's not the point. At Plushpod there are hundreds...
Scandinavian Details
Hayes Valley - San Francisco, CA United StatesWhether vintage, vintage reproduction, or new work, Scandinavian furniture designs have no shortage of stores dedicated to them. Scandinavian Details gives Scandinavian accessories their day in the sun. There are elegant glasswares, clever...
Urban Ease
Belltown - Seattle, WA United StatesUrban we'll give them, but the furniture at Urban Ease is not the type that puts one at ease. It's the type that demands your attention. The store collects hardware and fixtures from Europe, along with furniture made across the US to...
