With the discovery of Bakelite and successive modern plastics, the wooden toilet seat has been usurped, but it is now making a fashionable comeback, from modern bathrooms in town houses or country side rural retreats. If you are designing your bathroom in a natural vein, and wood is a signifying feature, be it cupboards, toilet roll holder, bath side paneling etc, then a wood toilet seat will nicely round it all off.

The availability of a wood toilet seat in round, oval or elongated shape to fit most sizes and shapes of toilet bowl makes matching a seat to a toilet bowl shape relatively easy. As well as being available in a wide range of styles, shapes and colors, many now are available with what is known as a “soft close” seat and lid. A mechanism in the hinge stops the seat and/or lid fro dropping closed with an almighty bang that would waken even the soundest sleeper.

Modern wooden toilet seats, unlike those of yesteryear are usually guaranteed to not split or crack, but obviously, if you leave them soaking in a bath of water for a few weeks, then maybe that guarantee would not stand up. Always read the small print.

A solid wood toilet seat will be quite an addition to a bathroom that has been themed for this kind of stuff. They are in fact, considered the classiest combination when they are teamed up with white! The choice of wood used to manufacture the seat affects the color of the resultant unit. The polish used will affect the finish of the unit. While some customers will prefer a powder coated finish, others may like their wooden seat finished to match the texture of their wood and feel and look a bit more natural. An oak finish is one of the more popular choice and so is the walnut veneer.

The color of the hinge that will ship with your oak toilet seat or otherwise. The ideal choice to have between hinges is brass and nickel with the option of a brushed or metallic (read shiny, like chrome) finish. I personally would go with the former as anything shiny in the bathroom can get marks, nicks, scratches as well as spots from anything; be it talcum powder to soapy water. As a rule of thumb, brass hinges go well with darker colored woods and nickel ones fit the lighter woods the best.

Wood toilet seats are not to everyone’s taste, neither will it necessarily match the chosen décor, but that will not stop the rise of sales rising. However, stockists of bathroom furniture and toilets parts are seeing an upsurge in sales of wooden toilet seats just as large online retailers have begun stocking up on them in massive quantities. Once you’re on Amazon, you’re spoilt for choice really.
