Hello, we are KH & MS from @hwashan_, and we’re so glad you’re spending some time with us here! Our home is our little sanctuary, and we’ve loved every step of bringing it to life.
Today, we wanted to chat about our toilets —specifically, one thing we’d redo if we could -- Lighting.
It is such a crucial detail that often gets overlooked, but it truly sets the mood in a space. For our toilets, we went with conventional white light. While it brightens up the space and serves its purpose, it turned out to be a bit too harsh for our liking. We’ve often found ourselves wishing we had chosen something softer to create a more calming atmosphere. Fortunately, with the Climate Vouchers this year, we’re planning to go shopping soon to find something that better suits our vibe :)
We often joke that it's a 'Mr. & Mrs. toilet system' at hwashan_ because our two toilets couldn't be more different. This one’s designed for KH, who wanted a more masculine and darker theme. We leaned into that with black pipes and a grey overall look, which really sets the tone. Fun fact: the wall tiles here are the same as the tiles we used on our kitchen floor!
For storage, we kept things simple but practical. We opted for some off-the-rack under-sink storage with a soft-closing function—no more loud slams, just smooth and quiet every time. It’s perfect for stashing away essentials like toilet paper and other cleaning supplies.
We also added a floating shelf to display a few small items, which adds a bit of character to the space. The real showstopper, though, is the art print we recently displayed. It adds a pop of color and a funky vibe to the toilet. And we couldn’t resist a little cheeky pun with "good things take time" displayed above the toilet bowl. Get it? 😄
So, to all the new homeowners out there, take your time with your choices—especially with lighting. A little tweak can go a long way in making your space feel just right!
