Amongst the many priorities, bathrooms or washrooms constitute an indispensable necessity in our day-to-day life. In most cases, public bathrooms are disappointing but there are a few which are no less than “works of art.” Some of these are quite weird, while others are simply great creations.

The first one that sets an example for every public bathroom is at Kawakawa, Bay of Islands, New Zealand. The public restrooms here are extremely gorgeous and uniquely designed. The bathrooms were designed by the famous architect, painter and print maker, Friedensreich Hundertwasser. The restroom architecture was made in 1997, with smashed tiles and glasses beautifully arched, to allow light to pass through inside the colorful building.

The exclusive bathrooms at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, are a rich blend of art and modern technology. The exquisite design of the bathrooms done by six able artists, are extremely beautiful and attractive. Apart from their usual functions, they are, indeed, a treat to the eye as well. 

Valhalla, another exclusive public lavatory at the Shoji Tabuchi Theatre, Branson, Missouri, USA, is a fine example of graceful architecture and creativity. The bathroom does not flaunt any of the usual high-tech gizmos, or the Feng Su architecture, it rather emphasizes on antiques and old-fashioned hedonism. The Valhalla is beautifully adorned with orchids, granite floorings and the onyx pedestal sink. The ladies' room consists a fountain, stained glass appointments, an Empire tin ceiling and wainscoting.

The bathroom at the Singapore Zoological Gardens can be named as one of the best bathrooms in a safari adventure. It is mostly meant for the adventure travelers across the world who wish to have special facilities for their hygiene-conscious self. The bathrooms are surrounded by beautiful plants and flowers. The bathroom has earned the title of Singapore’s Cleanest Bathroom quite a number of times.

The Alexandra Hospital, Singapore has a bathroom that is suitable for a medical emergency because it creates a healing atmosphere for the patients. The brand new bathroom at the hospital featuring a mini water fountain, timber walls and automatic cleaners is ideally suited for the patients with a bruised mind and body.

Although the bathrooms in the Central West Antarctica look a bit of a drab from outside, yet they are very warm from inside, as no winds pass through these bathrooms. The most fascinating feature of these bathrooms lie in their soothing fragrance.

The Victorian styled toilets at Rothesay, Isle of Bute, Scotland, UK, have won nation-wide fame, with their mosaic floors, enameled alcoves, shiny copper pipework, marble fittings and glass-sided cisterns. The toilet has been “officially” visited by Prince Charles, the Duke of Rothesay.

Last but not the least, on the contrary, one of the most amazingly structured bathrooms in the world is a 3-D Gold Store in Hong Kong. From the toilet bowls, brushes, paper holders, washbasins to the mirror frames, wall-mounted chandeliers and even wall tiles and doors, the bathroom is wrapped with gold in its entirety. The ceiling of the splendor bathroom is all embedded with precious stones, about 6200 diamonds, rubies, and other valuable jewels.
