1. A bath mat
2. A laundry basket
3. A shower curtain
4. A beautiful bathroom mirror
5. A bath towel rack
6. A soap dish and/or a soap dispenser
7. A tumbler or toothbrush

11. A bath mat

Depending on the bathroom and the style chosen, a bath mat can set the tone or drown in the decor. Free-standing bathtub, graphic tiling and strong contrasts? A pretty bath mat in muted colors softens the decor and as much as the bathrobe. Classic shower, natural materials and sober colors? We dare to use funky, patterned or pop-coloured bath mats to wake up the atmosphere and warm up the bathroom!

2. A laundry basket

The laundry basket is the inexpensive bathroom accessory , easy to find and essential for a tidy bathroom, since you throw clothes in it before the shower rather than leaving them lying around. And it comes in all styles, with or without a lid, in fabric, braided or bamboo, plain or patterned, or even with a message. Our favorite ? A mix of greige linen and light wood with a frankly Scandi spirit.

3. A shower curtain

A simple trick to wake up a bathroom that is too classic, even when renting? Choose a shower curtain that changes! For those who do not have a shower door or who prefer bathtubs, the shower curtain can be elegant, modern, playful or creative, for not very expensive and without drilling into the walls thanks to the retractable bars. So many good reasons to change it with each new decorative fad without breaking anything!

4. A beautiful bathroom mirror

No need for an entire wall of mirrors in the bathroom , beautiful hanging decorative mirrors are enough to combine practicality and aesthetics. The extra thing? It is easier to change them after a few years, if they become outdated or damaged. The stars of the moment are the large, sleek round mirrors, as perfect with a Scandinavian decor as they are industrial or natural… but the retro mirrors with ornate frames are also essential and easy to hunt for.

5. A bath towel rack

Indispensable in a bathroom, the towel rack is a simple and useful accessory that allows you to dry the towels after the shower… and to avoid leaving them lying around between two baths. Good news, there is something for everyone and for every budget! A branch treated against moisture can be transformed into a decorative towel rail, the towel warmer is a radiator combined with a towel rail, and the towel rail on feet avoids holes in the wall.

6. A soap dish and/or a soap dispenser

Soap dish or soap dispenser? Not only do the two exist, but they are not opposites. You can combine the two accessories for a well-equipped bathroom , matched or mismatched, option wood and porcelain or glass and brass… Only imperative, they are chosen in the style of the bathroom and above all, easy to clean. Or to refill in the case of the soap dispenser!

7. A tumbler or toothbrush

What could be more classic than a tumbler as a bathroom accessory  ? Replacing a toothbrush, you can drink from it or soak dental appliances, store toothpaste and toothbrush, a hairbrush or make-up brushes. A useful object that can also be decorated with natural materials, soft colors and clean shapes, whether it’s to add a touch of fun to the bathroom or to be forgotten!

8. A bathroom trash can

It is not because the bathroom trash can is essential that we should neglect its appearance. Especially since it can become a real decorative object when it is well chosen! Stainless steel in a modern bathroom, woven basket for a jungle atmosphere, colorful in the children’s bathroom, gold or copper for the refined touch… We choose it small and preferably with a pedal to avoid bending over , for the rest, everything is permitted.

9. Woven baskets

It’s hard to get trendier and easier to find than woven baskets. They bring a nice authentic touch to the decor of the bathroom and above all, allow you to store everything without losing anything in elegance: jewellery, beauty or care products, folded or rolled bath towels, you can slip everything lying around in them. to keep the bathroom tidy. And we expose them or we hide them, everything works, in a cupboard or on a shelf!

10. Jars

Because we’re not going to store the cottons in woven baskets, the bathroom pots are the perfect complement for optimized storage… and chic. The best idea? Candy-style glass jars that avoid lifting each lid while looking for cotton swabs. But the result is just as decorative with pretty terracotta pots, modern resin containers or any other design pot!
