Whether you rent a studio apartment or own a massive property, you have a bathroom that gets a lot of use. Add a touch of luxury with these five essential items!
One of the most important functional spaces in your home -- as much as we may hate to admit it -- is the bathroom. And it also happens to be the most neglected, when it comes to essential products and decor. Add a touch of luxury to your everyday routine and take your comfort to the next level with these top recommended bathroom products.
Natural Soaps & Body Wash
The average person washes their hands about 8 times per day, according to the Cleaning Institute. That’s a lot of soap! It is important to prioritize using high quality soap with natural ingredients with little to no chemicals, for the sake of your health and your skin. Natural hand soaps and body wash allows you to experience a great cleanse without harsh chemicals that dry out and irritate your skin.
Brands such as Meyers offer a wide range of soap products with ingredients that are gentler on your hands and less harmful to the environment. Their soaps are made of essential oils and plant-based ingredients. Meyers even sells natural household cleaning solvents, dish soap and laundry detergent! Subscription services like Grove Collaborative deliver a bundle of products to your home on a regular basis, so you never have to worry about running low on your favorite supplies. Their soaps are cruelty-free, plant-based and sustainable -- and they can send you Meyers soaps!
Eye-Catching Shower Curtain
The shower curtain is usually the first thing guests see when they enter your bathroom, so it should be the star of the show! Take advantage of this focal point by choosing an eye-catching design that suits your personality and your home. Whether it’s a bright color, interesting pattern, or a quirky quote, don’t be afraid to make a bold choice when picking out your shower curtain.
Society6 offers a huge variety of shower curtains with unique art prints to suit any style. You can sort by color based on your bathroom design or search for your favorite styles. Plus, part of your total payment goes directly to the artist who created the art for your shower curtain. Win-win!
Convenient, Attractive Storage
Bathrooms can be the trickiest room for storage -- they’re smaller compared to the other rooms in your home, and there are usually far less spaces to tuck towels, toiletries and other essentials. Above-the-toilet and above-the-door shelves are an attractive space-saving trick that makes even the messiest bathroom feel more organized. The Spruce created a round-up of the best modern, minimal, and affordable above-the-toilet storage racks.
Wicker baskets are an aesthetically pleasing option for hiding any ugly products (such as toilet paper, extra personal care products, and cleaning solvents) from plain sight. Items like these can distract from the atmosphere of the room and make it seem cluttered and unclean. Store them away in wicker boxes or handmade jute baskets like these, and if you still need extra space for towels and laundry, consider wall hooks that you can DIY customize with decorative door knobs.
Durable Soft Bath Mat
Few things feel better than taking a long, hot bath or shower -- but there’s nothing worse than getting out afterward onto the cold, hard floor. Prevent slipping and keep your feet warm with a soft, absorbent bath mat. Bath mats made of 100% cotton are a luxurious touch -- and this two-pack of mats is machine-washable for added convenience. With 12 colors to choose from, you’re guaranteed to find one that matches your bathroom!
Luxury Hand and Bath Towels
In addition to a soft bath mat, a set of fluffy bath towels brings your post-shower game to a whole new level. Stay warm and dry off with plush, 100% cotton towels that don’t shed or get worn easily in the wash. For the best spa-like experience, look for absorbent, durable material that will hold up for years to come.
Household staples like towels can cost a fortune, but Feather & Stitch New York towel sets are designed with affordability AND luxury in mind, so you can have the best of both worlds. Choose from a range of colors and weaves, whether you prefer classic, crisp white or a vibrant hue to add a pop of color!
