Bathrooms.com has revealed the top 20 'selfie' hotspots, and the kitchen ranked fifth with 21,900 photos taken.
The online retailer conducted the study to see if there was a correlation between the selfie trend and a 25% spike in sales of bathroom mirrors it has seen in the last two years.
After analysing Instagram photos tagged ‘selfie’ over the last five years, it found that although 13,700 selfies were taken in front of mirrors, the bathroom ranked 25th in the list, with just 4,790 snaps.
The market topped the list with 31,300 selfies, followed by photos taken on a plane at 30,600. The lounge was the third most popular location with 27,300 selfies, while less than 800 photos were taken in the bedroom.
Bathrooms.com CEO Ian Monk said: “We never expected markets around the world to be the number one spot for taking selfies, however considering the popularity of markets in general as well as their cultural significance in many countries, it’s not as unusual as people might first think."
“Reflecting Bathrooms.com’s 25% increase in mirror sales over the last two years, we weren’t surprised by the number of vainselfies taken in front of mirrors. It was however interesting to see rooms in the home ranking as popular selfie spots too, with the kitchen and lounge making the top 10, with bathrooms lower down the list," added Monk.
