There’s something undeniably sacred about a good shower. It’s a step away from the outside world, where you can be embraced by your favourite scents and let your thoughts unravel.
For most modern women, a daily shower is less of a routine, and more of a ritual.
In a fast-paced world, our bathrooms have quietly evolved to become a sanctuary for solitude and self-care.
No longer purely functional, our bathrooms have been designed and decorated, styled and scented to be an ultimate place of calm.
For those who believe that every detail counts, The Smallest Room—an Australian luxury homewares brand—is a brand that is worth putting on your radar.
The founder, Julia, is a Brisbane-based mum who confesses to loving life’s little luxuries, which led her to create the Chapter One Stool.

The Chapter One Stool is an architectural bathroom stool that can be used to store your favourite products and ensure they’re always within reach. It can also be used during daily rituals such as bathing children, shaving your legs, or as a footrest while exfoliating or shaving.
Inspired by ancient baths, the stool is designed to be styled both in the bathroom and around the home. However, more than just a design piece, it’s an invitation to rest and recharge.
“When life gets busy and schedules fill up, our personal time seems to disappear,” Julia says. “When our homes and lives begin to overflow, sometimes the only place we can find sanctuary is under the shower.”
In a busy life, the smallest moments—like a quiet shower—can make the biggest difference. And now, your bathroom can reflect that too.
