If, several months ago, we had spotted an image of a sofa in a bathroom, we would’ve said it was exclusively one-of-a-kind.

However, in recent weeks, we’ve learned of a growing number of celebrities experimenting with bathroom boundaries – with LeBron and Savannah James being the latest couple to tap into this unusual design trend.

The Los Angeles Lakers power forward and his wife, Savannah, have joined the likes of Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Bradley Cooper by blurring the lines between their bathroom and their sleep/living spaces.

Lively and Reynolds introduced a marble tub in their rustic bedroom, while Cooper revealed his ‘bathtub, the toilet, and the bed are all in the same room’ (via the Armchair Expert podcast).

However, James’s interpretation of the trend comes in the shape of their pink sofa and neutral rug beside their walk-in shower area.

A browse through the photo carousel (to the second photo) suggests the sofa and rug are part of a dressing area (thanks to the mirrored dressing table and extensive makeup collection seen in the shot).

The furnishings sit alongside a gallery wall – further blurring the lines between the living space and shower area that appear to flow into one another in the same room.

As with all celebrities who have experimented with this layout (or something similar), replicating James’s space is not always so simple.

Logistically (in terms of both room size and plumbing), this trend is not feasible in our homes, however, whether it’s possible or not, it’s something we’re increasingly observing in the most famous of homes – so, naturally, it’s impossible for us to ignore.

‘Whether or not to follow suit with a similar bedroom-bathroom fusion also ultimately depends on individual preferences, lifestyle considerations, and spatial constraints,’ adds New York-based designer Nina Lichtenstein.

‘While some may be drawn to the allure of seamless integration and luxurious living, others may prefer the privacy and separation afforded by traditional bedroom layouts.’
