Why We’re Here: Turning the Loo into a Laughing Matter (and a Design Moment)

Picture this: it’s a rainy September evening in Tokyo, 2023. The narrow streets glisten under the glow of lanterns, the scent of sizzling street food wafts through the air, and the distant hum of jazz from a tiny café fills the background. After a full day of exploring temples and Tokyo’s cutting-edge streetwear scene, I ducked into a delightful little izakaya for a cozy dinner. But it wasn’t the food or even the atmosphere that stuck with me most—it was the bathroom. Yes, the bathroom. What first seemed like an unremarkable, tiny space transformed the moment I spotted a single piece of minimalist wall art. A witty, perfectly placed quote, paired with stunning design, turned that hidden corner into something inspiring—an unexpected but powerful reminder that even the smallest spaces can hold magic. That’s when it hit me: why don’t more bathrooms back home feel like this?

It was in that moment, still drying my hands on a towel printed with cherry blossoms, that the idea for looart.co.uk was born. Life’s too short for boring bathrooms. Every piece we create is a celebration of humour, personality, and creativity—a tiny rebellion against the beige, an ode to self-expression in one of the most overlooked rooms in the house. Made in the UK with love, each piece is a mood-boosting wink, blending tasteful design with a playful spirit. So why not give your bathroom the glow-up it deserves? Explore our collection and transform your loo into the most surprisingly delightful corner of your home.

At looart.co.uk, we craft bathroom art that’s designed to make waves, not messes. Each piece is printed on premium, high-quality paper or canvas that boasts a silky texture, perfect for adding a touch of understated elegance to your walls.
