57 Best Bathroom Accessories Recommended by AD Editors
Transform your bathroom with these editor-approved accessories and top picks.
1The Importance of Bathroom Accessories
Bathrooms are often the least naturally lit and most humid areas of a home. The right accessories can make this space more functional and aesthetically pleasing. Small details like shower curtains, bath mats, and toothbrush holders can significantly change the overall ambiance. These accessories are particularly valuable in rental situations or bathrooms with limited counter space.
2Transformation with Shower Curtains
Shower curtains create the largest color and pattern surface in your bathroom. Waterproof options offer practical solutions, while fabric curtains provide a more aesthetic look. For example, Quiet Town's transparent sun shower curtain creates an airy feel in small bathrooms. There are numerous alternatives to suit different styles, from Pierce Ward's eclectic prints to Quince's minimalist linen option.
3Tips for Choosing Towels
Towel preferences vary from person to person. Some prefer high-pile cotton towels, while others favor quick-drying waffle weaves. Brooklinen's Classic towels absorb water quickly and dry with a single pass. For sensitive skin, Parachute's waffle towels prevent redness and irritation. Towels should be both functional and contribute to the bathroom's decorative appeal.
4Toothbrush Holders
Toothbrush holders keep brushes away from countertop germs and allow thorough drying. Ceramic single stands are ideal for small medicine cabinets or sink surfaces. For shared bathrooms, stainless steel options like Zara's can neatly organize multiple brushes and toothpaste tubes.
5Soap Dish Options
Soap dishes prevent slipping and unsightly puddles on countertops. Traditionalists might prefer pewter pedestals that give soap a regal appearance, while marble options offer eclectic style. Freestanding dishes with slight slants or drainage slots create more hygienic conditions by allowing excess water to drain.
6Bath Mats
Perpetually damp bath mats can be frustrating. Quick-drying mats that don't leave puddles are essential. Dorai's stone mat absorbs water in under two minutes and resists mold growth. For those preferring softness, Quiet Town's 100% cotton hand-woven mats dry within an hour and prevent fibers from sticking to wet feet.
7Wall Hooks
Wall hooks keep towels off the floor and can serve as decorative elements. Single hooks work well in small spaces, while staggered sets accommodate family needs. Stylish options like Eames' colorful Hang-It-All or SIN Ceramics' hand-sculpted twisted designs combine functionality with aesthetic appeal.
8Hand Towels
Hand towels are among the most frequently used yet often overlooked bathroom items. Quality hand towels maintain hygiene while contributing to the bathroom's overall look. AD editors have tested various brands for durability and drying performance to identify the best options.
9Laundry Baskets
Bathroom laundry baskets provide organization and can enhance decor. They prevent towel clutter and help maintain an airy feel. Various material and design options allow coordination with the bathroom's overall style.
10Bathroom Cabinets
Bathroom cabinets offer storage solutions. Vertical storage works well in small bathrooms, while larger units suit spacious areas. AD editors have evaluated cabinet options for durability and functionality.
11Towel Bars
Towel bars are essential for bathroom organization. Traditional rod-style bars remain popular, but modern designs offer alternatives. AD editors particularly recommend towel bars that combine functionality with decorative appeal.
