Elevate a Basic Bathroom with 20 Modern Accessory Options
For the Walls
Artwork is an easy way to change things up in a bathroom. I’ve kept the copper frame and from time to time I swap the prints out for a new look. Get a standard size frame and a few of your favorite prints in that size and rotate them around when the mood strikes. Select prints based on your favorite color scheme, subject matter, or simply go abstract. If you’re not into artwork or you don’t have that much wall space, try a fun modern clock.

Extra storage and shelving is key to keeping smaller spaces organized and looking tidy. If you tend to collect a plethora of products and getting ready necessities (ahem, myself), look for minimalist gear to keep it all under control and not all over your precious counter space.

Greenery
Living things bring a lovely natural element to any space, especially a bathroom. There are no windows in my bathroom so having a piece of nature feels like a must-have. Whether you prefer a planter to hold small plant or succulent, or perhaps a vase to display your favorite flower, having that living element really tops off the room.

Linens
Every bathroom requires linens, and towels and bath mats are an easy way to add color and pattern to smaller spaces. Have a few sets you can rotate through while the others are dirty and your bathroom can always have a new vibe. Some of my favorite brands are Quiet Town and Marimekko, which are what I usually have in my bathroom.

Cool Products
Things like a toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, or bar of soap might seem small and insignificant except for their daily duties, but considering they live out in open sight most of the time, you’re going to be looking at them quite a bit. Skip the drugstore options and spend just a little more for something more design-focused and it really makes a difference.

Random Trinkets
There’s always room for those elements that are a bit unexpected yet add that something extra to a typically boring space. Whether it’s a sculpture, vessel, or design trinket, incorporate a few of your favorite things that make you smile when you’re getting ready.
