Bathrooms are either the last or first thing you focus on when decorating your home. For me personally, my bathroom is just as important as my kitchen—maybe even a little more!
I mean, who doesn’t love a beautiful bathroom? It’s like your own little escape where you can relax and unwind. But here’s the thing—if you live in a rental like I do, you know how tricky it can be to make your bathroom feel like you. You’re stuck with what’s already there, and renovations are a no-go if you don’t want to get on your landlord’s bad side.
That doesn’t mean you’re stuck with a boring bathroom, though! The good news is, there’s still plenty you can do to give it a fresh, expensive look without breaking the bank (or the lease). With the right accessories, you can completely change the vibe of your space—no major renovations needed. So, if you’ve been dreaming of elevating your bathroom but don’t want to spend a fortune, I’ve got you covered!
Whether you have a rental or just want some ideas to elevate and change up your bathroom decor, I’ve rounded up 22 bathroom accessories that are not only budget-friendly, but also look high-end. You’ll find all these on Amazon, so you can shop from the comfort of your couch!
22 Bathroom Accessories to Elevate Your Bathroom
Sometimes it only takes a nice matching set of vanity accessories on your bathroom counter to make your bathroom feel put together.
Most of us no longer use a bar of soap anymore but then again some of us still do. Some of us don't use them but love having a pretty-looking bar of soap as a counter accessory and getting a good-looking soap dish would be the perfect compliment.
Soap/Shampoo/Conditioner Dispenser
Let’s face it, those mismatched bottles of soap, shampoo, and conditioner can make your bathroom look cluttered and messy. Why not swap them out for a set of matching dispensers? It’s such an easy way to bring a touch of style to your shower, and the best part—you don’t have to spend much! Plus, having them all uniform and neatly labeled gives your bathroom that spa-like feel. You’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner!
Do we even need a rinse cup, let alone its holder? No! But do we want to feel bougee having it? Yeah!
A vanity tray is like the magic finishing touch to your bathroom counter. It pulls everything together—your skincare, perfumes, or even candles—all neatly placed in one spot. No more knocking things over every time you reach for something. Plus, it just screams luxury, even though it’s totally affordable. It makes your space feel organized, and who doesn’t love that?
If you don’t already have a good makeup mirror, let me tell you—you need one! Not only is it practical, but a sleek, stylish makeup mirror can also double as décor. Especially one with a magnifying side, it’s one of those accessories that makes your routine easier and adds a touch of class.
A shower caddy is a must if you want to avoid the clutter of bottles and soap lying around your tub or shower. Suddenly, your shower looks way more put together. It keeps everything organized and within reach, and honestly, it just makes the whole shower experience feel more relaxing when it looks neat and tidy.
A catch-all basket is great for dirty towels, clean towels, kid's toys, or even toilet rolls. Not only does it help keep things tidy, but it also adds a bit of texture and warmth to your bathroom décor. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference.
Even the trash bin can add to your bathroom’s look! Instead of that basic plastic bin that’s been sitting there for ages, why not upgrade to something a bit more stylish? A sleek bin can blend in seamlessly with your décor and actually enhance the space. Plus, a chic bin makes taking out the trash feel a little less like a chore—just a little!
It's just a bit classier than the conventional hole-in-the-wall or wall-mounted toilet roll holder. These toilet roll holders add a touch of modernity plus they can store your extra toilet rolls too!
Towel hooks are one of those underrated accessories that can actually elevate your bathroom’s look. You can choose a set that fits your style. These are minimalist and modern. It’s a great way to keep towels off the floor and neatly hung up, giving your bathroom a more organized, polished appearance.
Shower Curtain
A new shower curtain is like giving your bathroom an instant facelift. Go for a pattern or texture that complements your bathroom’s style, and suddenly, the whole space feels more cohesive and well thought-out. And the best part? It’s an easy, affordable swap that can make a big impact without any effort.
You’d be surprised how much a good-looking shower curtain rod can change the vibe of your bathroom. Ditch the basic, plastic rod and go for something in a nice finish—like this brushed gold. It’s a small upgrade, but it ties everything together, giving your bathroom a more polished and intentional feel.
Why stop at the curtain when you can also upgrade the hooks? Stylish hooks are another little detail that adds a bit of luxury to your bathroom. Whether you choose simple, sleek hooks or something a little more decorative, it’s an easy way to elevate the overall look of your shower.
If you’re short on space but still want to keep your towels within reach, a towel storage rack is a game-changer. You can mount this on the wall to save space which adds a bit of flair and sophistication to your bathroom.
Nothing says “spa vibes” like a set of fluffy, matching towels. If you’re still using a mix of old towels, it’s time to treat yourself! A coordinated towel set instantly makes your bathroom feel more luxurious. Opt for neutral tones or colors that match your bathroom’s palette, and you’ll feel like you’ve just stepped into a high-end hotel.
A soft, cozy bathrobe hanging in your bathroom doesn’t just feel luxurious—it looks the part too. It adds a personal, lived-in touch to your bathroom décor while being totally practical. Imagine stepping out of the shower and wrapping yourself in a plush bathrobe—it’s like your own little moment of self-care.
A bath mat is one of those things you use every day but might not think about much. However, swapping out your old one for a soft, stylish bath mat can make a huge difference. Go for something plush or texture to complement your bathroom’s design, and suddenly, the space feels much more welcoming and comfortable.
If your bathroom has a bit more space, a runner rug can be a perfect addition. It not only adds warmth to the floor, but it also ties the room together. A stylish runner rug gives your bathroom that cozy, homey feel, and it’s an easy way to make a big style statement without spending much.
If you’re anything like me, your bathroom cabinets might be a bit of a mess. Adding some under-the-sink storage can help keep everything organized and easy to find. These clear storage containers can make your bathroom feel much more functional and less chaotic.
Plants on their own have a magical way of transforming any part of your home. It just gives a room a coziness that nothing else can. So don't forget your bathroom! On the counter, beside the shower, by the tub or even hanging plants, add plants to your bathroom to elevate it and bring in some warmth, even if they're artificial (trust me, no one is judging!)
With just a few thoughtful additions, you can take your bathroom from basic to beautiful without spending a fortune. Whether you’re looking for something chic and modern or cozy and classic, the right accessories can make all the difference.
Remember, it’s not always about big renovations—sometimes, the little details are what truly transform a space. So, go ahead and treat your bathroom like the sanctuary it is. You deserve a space that feels as good as it looks!
