7 Fun Picks to Turn Your Bathroom into a Photo Booth (Yes, Really)
In case you didn’t know, Kate Winslet keeps her Oscar in her bathroom. Her reasoning? It gives her guests an opportunity to hold it and make fake acceptance speeches in the mirror without embarrassment. It got us thinking: Are bathrooms the new photo booth? And if so, what other quirky objects should we be keeping in our loos so guests can have a little fun? Take a look at some of our suggestions below for turning your bathroom into an Insta-destination.
Give it a museum-ready look
Don’t have an Oscar of your own just yet? No worries: A Roman-style bust will do for now. Place one on your countertop to make your bathroom feel like a museum or palace. We like this classy option from CB2.
