In a perfect world, there would be no difference between my bathroom and my favorite spa. Everything would look elegant and updated. It would be organized too. My towels would be fluffy, and my toiletries would always be at hand. I’d never waste time digging through drawers to find cotton balls. They’d be right where they should be — in a beautiful container.
True, we’re never going to live in a perfect world. We can have perfect bathrooms, though, and they don’t have to break the budget. With the right bathroom decor, anyone can recreate that spa feeling or go for a clean, classic look. Whatever your style, completing a bathroom update is simple with the help of some basic supplies. Check out these 22 amazing products from Amazon that I found to instantly upgrade my bathroom and help me stay organized.
Keep It Tidy With Apothecary Jars
I dig through messy drawers for cotton balls more than I’d like to admit. If you’re like me, you probably need this set of glass apothecary jars. They keep my small items at hand so I don’t waste time looking for them. With bamboo lids and a matching vanity tray, they’ll look great in any bathroom.
Storage Containers for the Smalls
Cotton balls, hair ties, bobby pins, makeup wedges — bathrooms and small stuff just go together. This set of storage canisters is the perfect solution for all those little things. They add a classy touch to bathroom decor, keep the bathroom tidy, and make it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for when you’re in a rush. I love using them for bath salts and cotton pads!
Rack It Up in the Shower
If your shower is like mine, it wasn’t blessed with ledges and shelves. So, follow my lead and clean it up with this two-tier rack. Perfect for a bathroom update, the top shelf has plenty of room for big-bottle products. A smaller caddy rack on the second tier can store more bottles and jars. The real highlight of this rack, though, is the soap dish with loofah hangers.
Take a Spa Tray to the Bath
I wish I had a spa in my house. Who doesn’t? I might not have a massive soaking tub in your bathroom, but this expandable tray will make it feel like I do. It has a wineglass holder, tablet or book stand, phone slot, and a special cutout for a candle too. To top it off, the tray dries quickly, so I haven’t needed to worry about mold or mildew building up.
Jar Up Your Cotton Swabs
Keeping small items out of the way in the bathroom can be a big battle. I ended the struggle with the right storage containers. This square apothecary jar is versatile and an attractive piece of bathroom decor too. It works for small items like cotton swabs and is suitable for bath salts and bombs as well. I love adding a little glitz, and this jar comes in metallic options that impress.
Put an Organizer Under the Counter
The cupboard beneath my sink probably holds some important items, like my first aid kit. It’s also a dark chamber where things can get disorganized or lost quickly. So, I cleaned it up with this two-tier organizer. Two 14.4″ x 9″ baskets can hold cleaning supplies or extra toiletries, while the included dividers keep items sorted and separate. After all, you can’t do a bathroom update if you don’t organize.
Shelf Your Goods
I love a little magic, and these floating shelves are full of it. They have room for all my cute bathroom décor and candles too. Yes! These shelves are stylish and were easy for me to mount. They’re a great choice for storing bath towels and displaying decorative items.
Set Up a Bathroom Charger
I love listening to music while I’m in the shower, but what if I want to plug in my audio device or phone to keep it going? Bathrooms can be hostile environments for electronics because they’re so wet. This mini shelf mounts over an outlet and can hold a device up to 10 pounds. Now I charge my phone in the bathroom without worrying about ever-dreaded water damage, and so should you.
Clear the Way With a Tier Rack
It’s easy to run out of storage space in a bathroom. I’m tidy, but I still don’t have a place in my bathroom to store all that extra toilet paper. Thankfully, this metal tier organizing tower does it for me. I stash my extras on the six shelves of this rack so I don’t have to trek to the garage every time I need more TP.
Pamper Your Feet With a Plush Mat
Sometimes it’s the little things that make a regular bathroom feel like a fancy hotel. I wanted an ultra-affordable upgrade, so I bought this new bathmat. These plush bath rugs feel like a bed of fluffy cotton that I can’t stop wiggling my toes in. They’re super absorbent too, so they provide excellent protection for my bathroom floors.
Get a Classy Curtain
There aren’t many items that can enhance a bathroom as quickly as a fabric shower curtain. I’ve been trying to eliminate unnecessary plastics at home, and I knew fabric shower curtains smell better than PVC or vinyl options. I didn’t know that they’re easier to clean too. Let’s face it; they also look a lot better than a cheap plastic sheet. Make the leap, and go classy on the curtain.
Coordinate Those Bathmats
I hadn’t updated my bathroom in a long time, and it was easy to tell. How? None of my bathmats matched. This coordinating mat set fits outside the shower or tub, under the sink, and around the toilet. If you’re using mismatched mats like I was, this is one of the quickest and most effective bathroom updates you can make.
Brush Up Your Counter With a Caddy
My toothbrush holder has never been the most attractive part of my bathroom decor. I’d never even owned one that did a very good job. All my old toothbrush holders are solid trays that collected germs and grime — yuck! It was time to upgrade. This airy stainless-steel organizer has slots for four toothbrushes and a storage compartment for toothpaste. It has eliminated the ick factor from my bathroom counter.
Mount an Automatic Dispenser for Your Toothpaste
I have kids, so I know how messy a tube of toothpaste can be. This automatic toothpaste dispenser put an end to that issue. It’s fun, too. You just mount it on the wall with a suction cup, pop in a tube of toothpaste, and watch the magic. This is definitely one of the coolest bathroom updates around.
Make Your Wastebasket Beautiful
High-end bathrooms don’t have plastic trash cans. They have elegant wastebaskets that look like real bathroom decor. Even my trash looks beautiful in this bamboo bin. Its slim design slides right between my toilet and sink so that it adds function and class without taking up too much space.
Mount a Medicine Cabinet
Sometimes I hate looking in the bathroom mirror in the morning because the mirror is so ugly. I decided to beat my mirror fears and fix the problem with a medicine cabinet with mirrored doors. I added storage space and instantly upgraded my wall. This versatile cabinet would have looked great over my toilet too.
Catch the Turkish Bath Towel Mood
I’ve tried, but I’ve never been able to get the real Turkish bathhouse experience in my own home. I have gotten it in my towels, though. These Turkish cotton bath towels are ultra soft and a perfect addition to any bathroom update. They make getting out of the shower in the morning a little less painful.
Stay Beautiful With a Makeup Organizer
I’ll admit it: Until just weeks ago, I was still using the neon makeup case from my teen years. I was attached, but I decided it was time to go for a classy countertop organizer instead. This clear plastic organizer has space for all my brushes, lipstick, mascara, makeup, perfume, and jewelry. Plus, it’s easy to move when I need to clean.
Washcloth It Off
It’s true that you can never have enough washcloths. I’ve bought dozens, and I still always run short. I’ll admit that some of my washcloths have gotten pretty tattered too. Since my old washcloths were basically rags, I decided to upgrade and add more to my collection. Check out the ultra-soft terry cloth washcloths that I found. They’re perfect for my nightly face routine, and there are plenty for the whole family.
Bring in the Countertop Coordinates
I’ve never been a matchy-matchy kind of person. Still, I decided I should try a coordinated look for my bathroom update. It’s fun to hunt for accessories that might match, but it was a lot easier to just buy a set. This coordinated countertop set keeps all the essentials at hand. As a bonus, ceramic is easy to clean and disinfect, making this a win-win for a bathroom update.
Unite Your Bathroom Accessories
I’ll be honest. My guest bathroom has never looked that great. I wanted to update it, but I didn’t want to spend a lot of money since it isn’t used that often. I found this affordable, coordinated bathroom set that has everything needed to keep essentials organized. It even comes with a trash can and toilet brush holder for total coordination.
Glow in a Globe Light
When I say I wanted to spruce up my bathroom, I mean I wanted it to look like a fancy Pinterest photo. But where could I start? The light fixtures, obviously. I eliminated my outdated ’90s-girl bathroom sconces with this beautiful mid-century modern fixture. It was the instant glow of class my bathroom really needed.
