Besides my bedroom, the bathroom is often the first and last room I’m in during my day. I’d always wanted one of those hotel-like bathrooms that felt clean and tranquil; it’s the ideal aesthetic to unwind in. When I moved into my current home last year, it was my goal to make this space feel zen while still having a personality that was cohesive with the rest of our home. It only took a few key pieces to achieve this and (bonus!) most items can be found on Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n

One. Acrylic Shelves to Display Your Cutest Products<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I’ll confess: I’ll buy skincare and makeup solely based on the packaging. And if I have a drawer’s worth of cute products I’ve invested in, why would I keep it hidden?! These acrylic shelves<\/a> from Amazon were the perfect solution. They helped me free up drawer space, keep my products within arm’s reach, and the clear material means they’ll work with a variety of design aesthetics. <\/p>\n\n\n

Two. Shower Door Towel Hangers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My towel bar is on the opposite side of my bathroom. Functionally, it makes no sense, and I hate doing that shiver-walk to get my towel after I hop out of the shower. These towel hooks<\/a> come in a few different finishes (I opted for gold). They hang over a glass shower door so that your towel is always within reach. It also leaves my towel bar free for decorative towels.<\/p>\n\n\n

Three. Hanging Shower Racks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest selling points of my apartment was the huge walk-in shower, complete with a convenient bench and built-in shelving. This is all great except <\/em>I’m a neat freak who likes to hide clutter away from my eyesight. I mounted two of these racks<\/a> on the back wall of my shower. They hold tons of weight and won’t rust. They even have hooks for a loofah and razor. By moving my products off the shelf, cleaning is way easier and I eliminate a lot of soap scum.<\/p>\n\n\n

Four. Neutral Counter Organizers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To keep my counter space feeling organized, I rely on just a few pieces. A mirror laying flat makes a great tray to hold a soap dispenser and decorative vase, a glass and gold container for my most used makeup, and a woven basket for some hair clips. I would first hit up your local thrift store or Goodwill for these pieces. Don’t forget; a can of white spray paint goes a long way! Other good options are Home Goods, TJ Maxx, and Amazon for a low-budget selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five. Swap Your Bath Mat for An Accent Rug<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A bathroom with a lot of tiles can feel cold, both physically and visually. There’s nothing worse than a freezing floor in the morning! Instead of your typical bathmat, try an accent rug with a low pile. This will still help absorb water, feels plush on your feet, and gives some needed color and texture. I opted for a runner that spans the width of my bathroom. Vintage Turkish options are my personal favorites. There are endless options on Etsy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designer Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small Wool Rug<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medium Turkish Rug <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neutral Sisal Runner<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six. Hang Plush Bathrobes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There’s something about a white bathrobe<\/a> that feels so luxurious and instantly makes me feel like I’m in a ritzy hotel. Try hanging one on a decorative hook on the back of your door or on open wall space. This will help create the spa-like aesthetic and again, is a budget-friendly accent since this is a functional piece.<\/p>\n\n\n
