Non-committal item

It is an easily portable element, so if it does not work in one place, we can move it to another room, where it will blend in better. It will find its way into the bathroom, bedroom, living room or hallway. It will look equally interesting on a balcony or veranda. It can serve both a decorative function and make our daily life easier.

What kind of ladder to choose?

The most valuable item here will be an old, worn-out ladder, inherited from previous generations. An item with a soul can be properly cleaned and displayed as a kind of family heirloom. If it has a rung that is broken off or rubbed off due to use, it will look all the better. Such non-ideal items are simply intriguing.

However, if you have decided to purchase a ladder, you need to determine the material and style to which it should fit. On the market we can find both wooden or bamboo ones, with irregular form, which will compose perfectly with interiors in boho, wabi-sabi or rustic climate, simple - suitable for Provençal, Scandinavian or minimalist style, or metal ones, which will perfectly fit into post-industrial lofts.

When introducing such an accessory to the bathroom, it is worth paying attention to the fact that it is made of moisture-resistant material. This will avoid staining on the towels.
