Caring for bathrooms the right way

Posted on October 31, 2022November 1, 2022 by Rekha Sathyan

Bathrooms are the most challenging part of any home to maintain. They can get easily stained, dirty, and smelly. This brings us to the question of what magic tools can help us through this dilemma.

Well, if not tools, we do have certain tricks up our sleeves to keep the bathrooms clean. And what are they? It’s accessories! Surprised much? Here’s how we arrived at this breakthrough…

Fabrics & more

We know for a fact that keeping hand towels and bath towels within one’s reach is a convenient way for everyone at home. So, for starters, placing them neatly on the side holders or racks can help people access them right when they have the need for them. This helps in reducing the dripping of water on the floor, the area around sinks, etc.

How is this important?

Well, the towels being placed far away from the wash area leads to dripping, which in turn makes the floor wet for a long time.

Following this, the fabric also plays a key role here. Cotton is always deemed the best to absorb water and that shall always remain the wise choice to opt for bathroom accessories as well. Learn more about why cotton is preferred for bath towels here.

Quick stops

Next comes the bathroom mats. They are really helpful in keeping the floors tidy. Again, a well-absorbable fabric is a necessity. For this accessory, placement is crucial. Based on the area of the bathroom, you can plan where to put them. If it’s a spacious bathroom, you can place them right outside the shower area and the door.

If you have a luxurious bathroom space, then considering placing a rug could also be a great option. Either way, mats can be a relief.

Clean & Clear

Now comes the big question. How are these tips in any way useful in maintaining a clean bathroom?

Having such small inputs as accessories allow the bathrooms to be dry at most times, and less slippery. During cleaning sessions, all you got to do is clean up the fabrics or replace them with new ones and reuse them at regular intervals. You don’t have to spend so much time scrubbing and rinsing the floors and slabs.

These were our quick hacks to let the bathrooms feel fresh and classy at the same time. Not convinced, are you? As we always say, try it to believe it!

Elevate your WFH space, in style

Posted on February 27, 2021April 28, 2022 by Rekha Sathyan

Someone wise, at some point must have pondered about how a person’s work-desk defines their personality at work, or otherwise. Be it cluttered, clean or dressed up in themes, everyone loves to add a little bit of themselves to their space. While this has its feelings in the right place, sprucing a workspace up does indeed require a tactical approach to ensure the right amount of formal decor alongside the fun bits. We assure you that this is not The Great Interior Design Challenge and hence, we bring you a couple of quick fixes to ramp up your space.

As another year of WFH approaches, it is only right that you pack up the old and bring out the new! At Thoppia, our collection of fabrics and range of products are just about enough to make your WFH station, a place you’d love to hang around. With our style guide, you can now seek inspiration and add your own elements, skipping a strain on the pocket 😉

Step 1:

Pick a space that inspires you. This is important because you will be spending most of your day indoors throughout the week. Perching on a dingy corner of the room might turn out to be a lot more unmotivating than a mundane weekday. Pick up the table and set it close to a window for a good view.

If not a window, we suggest a good part of the wall, just for you to deck it up with accessories to look at, and feel good about. The point is to let your eyes know that they have more to see than the screen.

Step 2:

Know the importance of colours and use it smartly in your decor. Reach out to your fun side and try to match the colour of the elements you see. Take a look at bright, sheer curtains that welcome enough light into the room. What’s great about curtains is that it can instantly make your space look a lot more comfy. If you like simplicity, we think you’d love some light, linen curtains.

Patterns on sheer curtains, or solid curtains can help balance the rest of the room as well!

Step 3:

Move on to where you sit. The chair might look sturdy now but a few hours in, maybe not. Investing in a good cotton chair pad is a good idea. These fluffy little pillows are perfect to support your posture and keep you up straight. Patterned chair pads work well for that ‘burst’ of colour amongst your furniture while solitary, muted shades complement them.

Step 4:

We swear by soft, handwoven rugs! Work from home doesn’t have to be uncomfortable; Treat yourself to simple rugs that you can place underneath your desk, on the floor. These are subtle ways that elevate home decor up by a few notches if done right. We suggest striped rugs for some texture on the floor.

Step 5:

You see the desktop, the coffee mug and the files – what’s missing? A good, warm source of light. Lampshades are the best decorative items for any room, in the evenings. Unlike glaring bare bulbs, lampshades are friendly, they don’t hurt your eyes and can instantly make your workspace look sophisticated!

A small lamp, with good shade fits perfectly on the work-table with considerable functionality. Big lampshades on the other hand, are for those who love a good statement piece of decor. Experimentation is fun with these as you can hardly get it wrong with dreamy lights.

Step 6:

And the most important, is to customize your decor to the best of your imagination. There are no right or wrong rules: just guidelines to help the designer in you. We love a pretty Thoppia-themed WFH station and would love for you to handpick the right product and fabric from our range, for your space!
