During the annual Bathroom Blogfest, bloggers from around the globe write about the importance of bathrooms in the customer experience. Their posts come from a wide range of perspectives that include sociology, marketing, research, psychology, environmental, customer experience, and user-experience design.
The sixth annual Bathroom Blogfest, set for October 24-28, will bring together more than 33 bloggers and 34 blogs from various industries. This year’s theme, “Climbing Out,” will focus on improving the overall bathroom experience for end-users by bringing attention to the various aspects of a bathroom, including the floors, fixtures, design and architectural, the retail experience, and so forth.
You’ll find the list of participating bloggers below. You can also follow along by visiting the Bathroom Blogfest website

The Bathroom Blogfest began in 2006 as the brainchild of Stephanie Weaver,
Experienceology author and consultant, and Susan Abbott, a business consultant and consumer researcher in Toronto.
Ever since I found out I would be a participant in this year’s Bathroom Blogfest, intellectual topics sprinkled with well-timed humor were dancing through my head. And then reality set in.
- Me: What if I talked about the jaw-dropping products and European designs I’ve seen over the last…
- Brain: Nah. If you’ve seen one bidet, or claustrophobic shower encasement, you’ve seen them all.
- Me: Alrighty then. How about the technological advancements seen in tile, such as anti-bacterial properties, the blending of various materials, the mind-altering shapes and sizes…
- Brain: Look, we both know once YOU set foot at any tile show, you turn into the Tasmanian Devil. You’re like a kid in the proverbial candy store with tile.
- Me: I know.
- Brain: So explain to your readers why you’re like that. Why you get so revved up at shows or when you visit showrooms. They can handle it.
- Me: I can’t, that would be too…revealing. I can’t expose myself like that. What would they think of me?
- Brain: That you’re human. You’re a busy working mom living with two young boys and a husband who can’t put anything in the hamper if his life depended on it (and the hamper is literally two-feet away)? You’re right, they’ll skewer you.
- Me: Well wait a minute, not so fast. I think you’re right. I think I will expose myself!
Now I’m sure you’re wondering what I’ll be exposing, so…drum roll, please.
Each time I return from a show, laden with beautifully arranged settings, designer fixtures and worldy accessories, imagine my disappointment when I come home to this:

Actually CB, I think rose-colored glasses would work best. ;)

I loved reading about your bathroom. I bet you will now get millions of dinner invitations. Why? Because acquaintances who feared that they could never compete with your design standards, given what you do, will realize that you live the way most of us do.
