To set up your bathroom to serve as both function and sanctuary, you need to stock it with some key essentials. Whether you want to spiffy up your guest bathroom or just deck your own out to feel a bit more luxe, here are a few things we think all bathrooms need.
1. Plush bath towels
Plush bath towels add a sense of luxuriousness to any bathroom. I would suggest mixing and matching colors, rolling them to display in a basket or on a shelf.
I prefer natural fibers over synthetic blends, for a resort like bath experience. Natural cotton towels are soft, absorbent, and endure over time.
2. Portable storage cart
One thing most bathrooms could use more of: storage.
A portable cart with shelves is truly ideal. It’s stylish, easy to use, and has wheels that make it even more versatile. I suggest using it to store towels, accessories, products, or houseplants.
The cart would be perfectly placed next to a deep, free-standing soaking tub to hold your bath essentials.
3. Stylish accessories
Having a cohesive design to your bath collection set can go a long way to bringing the entire bathroom together.
The cool gray lines (and) their imperfections enhance the design appeal, and everyone needs a stylish hideaway for cotton balls, tissue boxes, and other utilitarian objects.
4. Electric towel warmer
On a cold morning, there are few things more luxurious than stepping out of the shower and grabbing a warm towel. You can create that experience in your own bathroom with a free-standing electric towel warmer.
This is one of those smaller, achievable items that will make you or any houseguest feel truly pampered.
Along with the coziness, the towel warmer will also reduce mold and mildew growth. It will also dry towels quickly, meaning you can wash them less often, which will offset the cost of the added electricity.
5. Soft, nonslip rug
Rugs in the bathroom add a level of warmth and cozy to a generally cool space. I prefer rugs that add texture, color, or pattern underfoot.
Stepping onto a plush chenille rug after your shower or bath feels great on your bare feet. Plus, it features nonskid backing to keep you from slipping.
A deep, plush rug also absorbs water, so you don’t leave puddles or wet footprints on your bathroom floor—and, they usually dry quickly.
6. Stylish and functional toilet brush
A sparkling clean bathroom is like having a luxury spa right in your home. But, whether to keep the cleaning tools in plain sight is up for debate in the design world.
This stylish toilet bowl brush and holder is not only functional, but it also has a minimalist look that will mesh with your other decor.
It is a staple that any bathroom has to have, and this one is super compact, cheap, and fits perfectly under my sink.
7. Cotton waffle shower curtain
To die for, this organic Turkish cotton waffle shower curtain.
It's modern textural pattern and monochromatic look gives all those spa-like feels, adding that the best part is that it’s machine-washable.
The classic design works well in traditional and contemporary spaces and is a beautiful basic.
8. Shower caddy
If you love to try out new bath and shower products, it’s easy to run out of space for them all. Adding an in-shower tension pole caddy increases storage space without requiring any permanent changes to your bathroom.
The more shelving I can get in the shower, the better. She likes this unit for its rust-free aluminum, which means it will look fresh after repeated water exposure, and the bamboo accents offer a sophisticated look.
9. Rain shower head
There’s nothing like a refreshing shower to get your day off to a good start, and a good shower head makes it happen. This rain shower head by Moen will attach to your existing shower arm.
Moen brand is a “standard setter,” which provides high-quality products that really “class up the joint.”
This shower head is also EPA WaterSense–certified and uses about 20% less water than the federal standard. Even with the commitment to water conservation, the shower head still offers a full spray so you don't feel deprived.
10. Motion-sensor trash can
A trash can is a bathroom essential.
Having one with a cover that you don’t have to come in contact with is definitely a perk for the germophobes among us.
This water-resistant, motion-sensor trash can features a lid that opens with the wave of your hand. Plus, the slim design makes it blend into your bathroom decor, or it could fit in a cabinet or closet.
The motion sensor is an added bonus, so when your hands are full, you can easily open and close the lid without getting it messy.
