Soap accessories
Dispensers, soap dishes and cups for toothbrushes can become useful and stylish bathroom decor if you choose containers with an unusual design. Accessories from one set look especially aesthetically pleasing.
Use of non-standard accessories
Every day, especially when waking up in the morning and evening after a working day, I want to cheer up a little. There are plenty of accessories for a fun and useful bathroom experience.
For example, holder caps for toothpaste with funny faces, an economical toothpaste squeezer, rubber suction cups on the floor or on the bottom of the bathroom in the form of colored blots, a backlight for water that responds to its temperature, a special curtain with sleeves for bathing pets will be useful and unusual. .
Properly selected indoor plants will also be appropriate. Original laundry baskets can also decorate the interior. And the air in the room will be refreshed by aromatic candles, which will create a romantic, relaxing mood.
The illusion of a sea environment will be created by original shells and jars with sea stones. Original figurines and vases will add grace. Even the usual bottles and bottles with cosmetics can be successfully arranged in groups according to color and shape.
Any accessories, lovingly and professionally selected for your bathroom, will make your stay in this room pleasant and comfortable, and their functional purpose will make it convenient for all procedures here.
Every small detail emphasizes the taste and mood of the owners, and the room as a whole will show their favorite stylistic direction. Visitors to the room will appreciate all the practical accessories and their placement, because every guest of your home will visit the bathroom.
Container for laundry
Another practical item that can transform your bathroom. It is worth abandoning plastic models, which, despite their high quality, reduce the cost of furnishings.
We recommend choosing laundry baskets made from natural materials - wicker or textiles, which serve as excellent decor and look noble and expensive. They are equipped with a special removable lining, so caring for the products will not cause difficulties.
Curtain
If the house does not have a shower, a special waterproof curtain is required when using a bathtub. When purchasing it, we do not recommend focusing solely on price: a more expensive curtain made of high-quality materials will last much longer, will not tear and will become an excellent decor.
A bright shower curtain will fit perfectly into a bathroom decorated in neutral colors, but in a bathroom where the decor is colorful tiles, it is better to hang a monochromatic product.
The photo shows a stylish curtain with the inscription “Shower cabin for everyday use.” The dark color harmoniously echoes the abstract paintings hanging on the wall.
Bathroom mirrors
A mirror is one of the important elements of decorating a bathroom in a home. Using surfaces that reflect light, you can visually adjust the proportions of space.
The main mirror is hung above the sink - it should be large enough to fully see your face. It should be hung at eye level, so that every time you want to look at something you don’t have to bend over or lift your head. If people of different heights live in the house, you should choose a mirror that is large vertically so that it is comfortable for everyone.
If you want to maximize the space with bathroom decor, you can use combinations of mirrors. For example, place the main one above the sink, and hang smaller mirrors on the opposite wall so that they reflect each other. In this way, the effect of endless space is created, and you can get rid of the oppressive feeling of tiny bathrooms in typical apartments.
If you do not want to use a lot of mirrors when decorating your bathroom, then you can use light, glossy, shiny or metallized materials when decorating. Reflected in the mirror above the sink, they will also give a space-enhancing effect.
Rug
A textile carpet not only provides safety on a wet floor, but also, if used correctly, serves as a decoration for the bathroom. Designers do not recommend using “mat-curtain-toilet cover” sets in the interior, which deprive the interior of its individuality.
It is best to choose carpets with original patterns, wickerwork, or use hand-made rugs.
Types of accessories you can't do without
We talked about the necessary items for this important room above. But the main thing is to place accessories in such a way that each item is in its place, but there should also be neither too many nor too few of them.
In order not to change accessories every year, you need to purchase high-quality products produced by time-tested manufacturers. Popular companies that produce bathroom accessories: Kludi; Grohe; Jacob; Delafon; Nicolazzi; Artceram.
Of course, the cost of such a product will be a little higher, but calculate how much money you will spend if you update absolutely all accessories every year? Most owners believe that these small elements should be, first of all, comfortable, and only then beautiful. But the appearance of the accessories is of great importance.
Towels
Such a utilitarian item will easily become a bathroom decoration if it fits into its color scheme. Mismatched textiles are the enemy of a stylish interior, so you should choose plain towels. When hung or stacked in a certain way, they can become the highlight of a bathroom.
The photo shows a laconic bathroom, where textiles, as the only decor, act as contrasting spots on a snow-white background. This technique is widely used in the Scandinavian style.
Baskets
Wicker products are always relevant: they make the atmosphere more comfortable. Baskets for storing small items can decorate open shelves or hang on the wall, usefully taking up empty space on the washing machine. You can buy baskets (it’s better not to choose plastic products), weave them from newspaper tubes, or knit them yourself.
Paintings
This idea of bathroom decor may seem strange, but the experience of foreign designers shows that paintings and photographs are used everywhere in bathrooms. The main thing is good ventilation and the absence of paper elements in wet areas.
A more reliable way to protect your image from splashes is to print it on waterproof canvas.
What plants are suitable for the bathroom?
| Aloe vera. Yes, yes... A plant quite familiar to all of us feels great in the bathroom even with low lighting. Among other things, it can always be used to treat scratches, insect bites, burns, and also to treat colds. Aloe vera is an excellent choice even for novice gardeners, as it is very durable and difficult to kill. | |
| Sansevieria. Sansevieria, like aloe, is one of the most low-maintenance plants, making it an ideal choice for the bathroom. The plant does well in low light conditions. Moreover, Sansevieria filters out formaldehyde found in cleaning products, toilet paper, tissues and even some cosmetics. | |
| Bamboo This plant can grow in almost any light - even without soil! Simply place the bamboo root in a container filled with a few inches of pebbles. Then fill the container halfway with water and monitor the water level, adding periodically. Bamboo with curly stems looks great! | |
| Dracaena Dracaena comes in several varieties, but they all suffer from lack of moisture, which is manifested by brown, dry tips of the leaves. Is this a familiar picture? The natural humidity of the bathroom can be a great incentive to grow dracaena in the bathroom. | |
| Orchid Flower growers know how picky these beauties are. But they feel great on the bathroom windowsill. Yes, exactly on the windowsill. An orchid will not survive in a bathroom without windows, since it needs, albeit indirectly, sunny color. If the bathroom windows face the sunny side, then it is recommended to place the orchids not on the windowsill, but near the mirror, so that the sunlight is first refracted and only then hits the plant. Learn how to identify the type of orchid. | |
| Fern. Ferns' natural growing conditions are similar to what you might offer them in your bathroom—filtered low light and high humidity. Place an unpretentious fern in the corner of your bathroom and enjoy!. | |
| Spathiphyllum Spathiphyllum is a surprisingly unpretentious plant that perfectly cleanses the air of household impurities. The most acceptable growing conditions are minimal sunlight and high humidity. This is why spathiphyllum will feel great in the bathroom. | |
| Aspidistra These leafy green plants can adapt to different light levels, but it is best to place the aspidistra away from a window if your bathroom has one. | |
| Chlorophytum You might say, this is the plant of our grandmothers, it is no longer popular! Nothing like this! Chlorophytum is gaining popularity again due to the beauty of its leaves and ease of care. To maintain chlorophytum in order, you can cut off new shoots so that the plant does not lose its shape. Chlorophytum is one of the best plants for purifying the air from household chemical residues. And this is another reason to place it in the bathroom. | |
| Livistona Livistona is a palm plant native to the tropical and subtropical rain forests of Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. It takes its name from the surname of Baron Liviston, who founded the Botanic Garden in Edinburgh in 1670. Livistona has fan-shaped leaves. The interestingly shaped leaves make the plant the most elegant of the miniature palms. |
In addition to the above-mentioned plants, I would like to highlight 6 more that thrive in the dark and are therefore suitable for use in the bathroom.

Bathroom shelves (66 photos)
Decorative shelves, bookcases and ladders for drying towels look great in spacious bathrooms and add personality to the interior. The filling of the shelves can be changed depending on your mood.
The photo shows wooden shelves in the loft style, used for decoration, books and storing small items.
Lamps
Beautiful sconces, original pendants or a luxurious chandelier not only fill the bathroom with light, visually expanding the space, but also serve as its decoration. If the bathroom is small, then light sources can act as independent decor without overloading the room.
The photo shows a pink bathroom, the main decoration of which is two bright red lamps on the cabinet.
Flowers
Living plants are an excellent addition to the interior of the bathroom, but if there is no window, it is better to limit yourself to artificial analogues. Modern products convincingly imitate natural flowers and are called botanical copies. If the bathroom has a lot of natural light, plants can be placed on shelves or placed in hanging planters.

Wall painting
If you have a penchant for drawing, you can easily update your bathroom with your own hands. Before painting, it is necessary to prepare the surface: level and putty, if necessary, then coat with primer.
Acrylic paints that are resistant to moisture are suitable for decoration. The background for hand painting should be light - beige, blue or white. After the drawing has dried, you should coat the bathroom walls with varnish.
Original hooks
Bright towel racks or unusually shaped hooks take up little space, but can give the bathroom a fresher and more unusual look. To decorate your bathroom without losing your budget, you can make holders yourself: from wood, metal or ordinary ropes. Some hangers are so functional that they combine a shelf, a mirror and towel hooks.
Unusual bathroom decor
To prevent the interior from looking banal, you can choose atypical decorations for the bathroom. It can be:
- Houseplants.
This seemingly unexpected solution will add freshness and brightness to the room. If you decide to use fresh flowers, you should choose those that are comfortable in conditions of high temperature and humidity. For active growth, you need to hang a special phytolamp. An easier solution is to buy artificial plants. They require no maintenance and are easy to wash.
- Candles.
Candles in the bathroom don't just look beautiful in movies—several glass candle holders can be placed even in a small room.
- Photographs and paintings.
Why not decorate your bathroom with wall hangings, photographs or painting reproductions? Beautiful plastic frames with glass are best suited for this - they can easily withstand humidity and hot steam.
