Even though I do most of my lounging in my bed and on the cozy couch in my living room, my true relaxation zone has always been my bathroom. Treating myself to facials and deep-conditioning hair treatments helps me to unravel more than reading a good book or watching a classic film.

When you're in a décor frenzy, don't overlook this pivotal area. As you pamper yourself with bubble baths and pedicures after a long day, your surroundings should complement this peaceful method of unwinding. My latest favorite: unique accents that are both functional and charming, these Stone towel hooks are tactile and clever.

Flowing water smooths these earthly wonders lining the riverbeds and coasts of New England, and each one taken for decorative purpose is replaced with a rough stone for nature to take its course. (For more stone-embellished items, take a look at the Stone mugs and Cairn candle holders we have blogged about.) If you’re in need of ornamental hooks for the rest of your home, make sure to check out the Jiv Jiv hooks from Saldendro design that we recently featured as well. (Stone towel hooks available at sponsor VivaTerra for $49 each.)
