For most people, the bathroom is one of the smallest spaces in the home, resulting in very little attention when it comes to interior design. But the bathroom is meant to be a relaxing haven to unwind in, so it is worth paying slightly more interest to it. Even if you are on a tight budget, changing just a few old bathroom items can considerably transform your bathroom<\/a> and give it a new lease of life. Here are some of the best bathroom accessory ideas to update your family bathroom or ensuite<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are our top 10 bathroom accessory ideas<\/strong>:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In order to create an area of calm and zen, make sure you hide the clutter away. Storage is an essential element of any home, especially in a bathroom when space is at a premium. A bathroom ladder is a good option, as it allows you to store items at height, without taking up too much room.<\/p>\n

If floor space is small and limited, think about adding some shelving<\/a> to your walls for some extra storage space. Add baskets with your favourite bathroom products, such as cream, shampoo and conditioner for example to keep them out of sight, making the space clutter-free.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0<\/strong>Shower curtain<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One way to spruce up your bathroom interior is by adding a shower curtain. Although shower screens<\/a> are often more modern, a shower curtain<\/a> does the job just as well and allows you to add some personality into your room. If your bathroom is small in size, think about choosing a neutral and light-coloured curtain to make the room as bright as possible \u2013 even more so when you have patterns on the wall.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0<\/strong>Add mirrors<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A bathroom mirror<\/a> is not just a practical item in a bathroom space, it can also help to make a space look larger by bringing more light into the room. There are so many options available on the market, small in size, to large decorative styles, but it is important to choose the right one for your space, especially when it is often the focal point of the room.<\/p>\n

Top tip<\/strong>: It is common for a mirror to get steamed up when the room gets warm. One way to remove any streaks or de-fog is by rubbing shaving foam over the mirror<\/a> and wiping off with a soft cloth.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0<\/strong>Bath or shower holders<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Of all bathroom wall accessories ideas, a bath\/shower holder<\/a> is practical and convenient, and can look stylish too. It can also help to bring a room together as it may mean that your products will sit on the side of your shower or bath<\/a> instead of being out of the way and neatly organised. They come in a range of different styles, from wood to full chrome, and don\u2019t have to be expensive to look good.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0<\/strong>Vanity set\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Most bathroom spaces will need a vanity set, to keep everything in their own space. They often include soap holders<\/a>, soap dispensers<\/a>, and the like. Having a vanity set that complements your existing bathroom\u2019s colour scheme helps to create a harmonious space.<\/p>\n

If you have colour on your bathroom walls or tiles, you may want to go with something that matches this \u2013 or stick to a simple white instead. However, if your bathroom is fairly one-tone, it is advisable to use your vanity set as a way to add a splash of colour to your space through bathroom decoration accessories.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0<\/strong>Tiling<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A fantastic way of adding an instant feature to your bathroom design is to install a statement floor. This stunning design feature works best when you use a plain tile, or paint on the walls of your bathroom in a neutral hue, creating the perfect backdrop for statement bathroom floor tiles. Popular tile choices for a statement floor include patterned ceramic floor tiles, marble or stone. More recently, hexagon tiles have become increasingly popular<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0<\/strong>Wall-hung bathroom features<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re looking for small bathroom accessories ideas, you may want to consider using fixtures in your new bathroom that hang off the wall rather than sit on the floor. These kind of bathroom accessories work great in both a modern or traditional setting and are particularly useful if floorspace is a premium in your home, as it helps to open up the floor of your bathroom.<\/p>\n

Opening up the floor of your bathroom can make the room appear much larger than it is, and it also makes cleaning your bathroom easier<\/a> too. Wall hung features include vanity units<\/a> and bathroom wall cabinets<\/a>, which come in varying designs to suit your home\u2019s style.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0<\/strong>Bathroom mats<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A bathroom mat should not only complement your bathroom\u2019s colour scheme, but it should look and feel luxurious. Whether it be a slogan-embroidered mat, or something with a pop of colour, choose something that will work to soak up the water, as well as feel comfortable under foot.<\/p>\n

For this bathroom accessory, it is worth spending a little more money to ensure your feet are treated by a mat that is thick and larger, as opposed to a thin mat that won\u2019t soak up water and will feel uncomfortable to stand on.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0<\/strong>Fixtures and fittings<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Opting for fixtures and fittings that aren\u2019t traditional bathroom styles are some of the best modern bathroom accessories ideas and have grown in popularity over the years. From rose gold, copper, gold or matte black offer a refreshing change from the traditional chrome look and are a great way to add a touch of colour and personality to your room.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning on adding this exclusive colour to your bathroom design then a great place to start is by looking at tap fittings<\/a> and towel rails<\/a> in different finishes, or even a rose gold shower<\/a>.<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0<\/strong>Toilet roll holder<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Despite not being a \u201cluxurious\u201d bathroom accessory, a toilet roll holder<\/a> is still one of the most important items in a bathroom space. You can choose fixed to the wall holders or freestanding options, and to match other fixtures and furnishings in the room, such as chrome, wooden, white or copper.<\/p>\n

However, keep it simple as your toilet rolls are most a focal point of the room \u2013 leave your mirror, vanity and bath to do the talking. Despite this, if your budget permits, there are some decorative options on the market if you are interested in something \u201cgrander\u201d.<\/p>\n
