Mirror
A mirror is easily the most key accessory in any bathroom. Whether brushing your teeth, styling your hair, or putting on makeup: we use a bathroom mirror several times a day. A mirror is also a great decorative addition to your bathroom and helps the room look and feel bigger. Just make sure to measure your countertops and wall length to get the right size mirror, or you might accidentally achieve the opposite effect.
Shelves
Shelves are a great addition to any bathroom for decorative purposes or storage. Shelves help tidy up your bathroom by giving you extra space to store your toiletries and other items, such as towels and washcloths. But shelves can are used as accessory items to display bathroom décor. Clear glass shelves are a good example of this combination of functionality and style, as you can peer through them to see your decorations from below.
Towel Bar
For smaller bathrooms with less space, towel bars are functional and necessary additions to the room. Towel bars can also act as decorative items themselves, giving your bathroom both style and functionality. On top of this, they can even help give your bathroom a cohesive theme. For example, consider choosing brass accessories or another metal to match your fixtures and tie it all together.
Bathmat
A bathmat is a functional accessory that can also add some extra color to your bathroom. It prevents slips when stepping out of the shower or bath, but it is also decorative. Buy a bathmat that matches the color of your walls, shower curtain, or towels for an extra addition to your color scheme.
We hope these bathroom essentials ideas help answer all your questions about what accessories you should include in your bathroom. Most importantly, have fun styling and accessorizing your bathroom and feature your unique style wherever you can.
