One of the most important things in a bathroom, I think, is the addition of sound. Personally I prefer the radio but for those all-too-rare occasions when a long spa type soak is on the agenda, then some sort of speaker is required.

The next problem is that that speaker will usually require some form of electricity and plugs tend to be a bit of an issue in bathrooms. Enter the Stelle. This rather neat pillar design promises a 30 hour battery life, which is pretty good, and will stream music straight from your phone or MP3 player.

In addition to that, it syncs using bluetooth, which means that you will be able to take calls too. Now, I’m no expert when it comes to sound and, I will admit that the look of the thing is probably going to concern me more than the sound, but I have heard this and it sounded pretty good to me.

And the fact that it won’t fight with the decor and takes up very little space makes it just about perfect for the bathroom in my book. But, you can always pick it up and carry it into another room and see how it sounds there.

It’s coming to Selfridges soon. In the meantime here’s the website
