Whether you’re furnishing your new home or you’re just redecorating, the bathroom often gets overlooked. We think that it’s an easy space to decorate and that we just need to think about the bigger items like choosing the toilet and bathtub. But the bathroom encompasses so much more.
Above all, it needs to be functional. This can be achieved with the proper pieces and bathroom accessories. Everything needs to be easily accessible and uncluttered. What most of us want is a simple but modern bathroom space that’s visually appealing but retains its practicality by allowing us to go about our daily bathroom routine without a problem.

What Bathroom Accessories Do You Need for a Stylish Upgrade?
Including the right accessories in the bathroom design can make even the most basic bathroom look like the latest trend from a magazine. Simple changes can instantly enhance the entire space and give it a new life. For this reason, choose wisely and make sure that you get practical and stylish bath accessories that you’ll use for a long time.
Soap Dispensers and Toothbrush Holders
Soap dispensers nowadays are so versatile that they even look like mini sculptures. White or black minimalistic dispensers are the perfect addition to any bathroom. If you want texture, go for neutral colours with delicate detailing.
You can get a toothbrush holder that’ll complement the dispenser or you can get bathroom accessories set that consists of more items with the same design. A tumbler can be used as a toothbrush holder as well, and together with the soap dispensers, they can be mounted on the wall if there’s a need.

Toilet Brush, Brush Holder, and a Bin
These are essentials that, if properly styled, can look like they belong there. The holders can be on the floor or on the wall and today’s sleek designs can make them blend in seamlessly with the background. Together with the bin, they can be part of the same bathroom set.
Towel Rails and Hooks
Towel rails and hooks can serve as decorative pieces and storage for towels. Just hang the towels in order on a multi-rail holder and they won’t need another place.
Trinket Box and Tissue Box Covers
Trinket boxes are very useful for smaller items that you need every day. Place them on the vanity and they’ll complete every look.
Tissue box covers are the best solution for supermarket tissue boxes. Just place the tissue cover over the tissue box that you just bought and you’ve made a fashionable addition to your vanity.
Organisers and Baskets
These are the ultimate necessities for a neat and organised bathroom. If you choose designs that go with the rest of the space, you can display them on the shelves, hang them on the wall, or place them on the bathroom vanity. They’re excellent hidden storage for cosmetics, towels, or other things that you need to keep in your bathroom.
Small and Large Mirrors
Is there a more necessary accessory in a bathroom than a mirror? Every bathroom has a large mirror, usually hanged over the vanity. It comes in all shapes and sizes and complements the space like no other. You can keep a small mirror on the vanity top for quickly applying makeup in the morning. They’re practical and look good.

What to Consider When Choosing Bathroom Accessories?
With so many choices on the market, it’s easy to get carried away and start buying things that we’d never use. That’s why it’s important to set our priorities beforehand, so we know what to look for.
Decide on What You Need and Want
If you’re redecorating, go to your bathroom and see what’s missing and what needs a replacement. If you’re furnishing your new bathroom, make a list of essentials. In this way, you can give it a few days to reconsider some things so you don’t make spur-of-the-moment decisions and buy unnecessary items.
Know Your Budget
You need to know how much you can spend on bathroom supplies or how much you’re willing to spend. This will allow you, within limits, to choose everything that you need without splurging. You’ll maybe need to settle down for fewer items but you’ll still get your necessities and you’ll know that they are worth it.
Consider the Style and Space in the Bathroom
You can’t just go and buy the first item that you like. For a cohesive look, you need pieces that go together and match the existing style of the bathroom. If you’re renovating, choose a style and stick to it. It’s a good idea to follow one style for the entire house, so every room seems like a piece of the same puzzle.
In order to choose a suitable size and number of bath accessories, you should look at how much available space you have. If it’s a small bathroom with a vanity that doesn’t allow many items to be placed on it, you’ll need several smaller or few bigger items that’ll fit but won’t look crowded. You may consider wisely using the space that you have on the walls and buy more accessories that can be mounted on a wall. If you have a bigger bathroom, you have more freedom in choosing the size of the items and styling everything the way it works best for you.
Choose Functional and Quality Items
Looks aren’t everything. You can buy the best-looking accessories but they’ll be worth nothing if they don’t fulfill their purpose. You need items that work and serve their function. Why would you buy a toothbrush holder that has a gorgeous design but it’s barely able to hold one toothbrush?
High-quality items usually cost more but it’s worth it if you’re going to make good use of them. You won’t have to buy the same type of accessory over and over again just because it wears out quickly. This saves you money in the long run.

Go Neutral or Colourful?
It depends on the overall style of the bathroom and your personal preference, but bathroom accessories are the best way to add colour. If the rest of the bathroom is neutral, which is almost always the case, a few colourful items can make a big difference. They draw attention and give that modern vibe to the bathroom.
If you want to keep things simple and clean, there are many stylish items in neutral tones that will complement the rest of the bathroom perfectly. Neutral colours make the room appear neat and uncluttered.
