Stylish, fuss-free ways to elevate your washroom. Tableware
Bathroom accessories and ornaments can be the deciding factor between a drab and fab washroom. From petite ensuites to large family bathrooms, selecting the right bathroom accessory helps to tie the room's overall look together and inject some extra personality into the space.
Accessories for a bathroom can be functional or purely ornamental, but the best options are a little bit of both. Unusual bathroom ornaments with quirky designs help to create a visual focal point. On the other end of the scale, classic bathroom accessories help to create a polished look.
The most popular accessories and ornaments tie in with the top bathroom trends for 2024, including quiet luxury, scalloped (and rounded) shapes and natural textures.
'Live or faux plants add a touch of nature and freshness to the bathroom,' says Tracey Hague, director of Where Saints Go. 'Prints, photographs and paintings can add colour, texture and interest to a bathroom personalising the space. Decorative trays organise and display toiletries, soaps, and other items.'
'Consider the overall style of your bathroom, colours and patterns you have used and the size of your space,' says Tracey. 'Try to choose items that complement the overall design scheme. When styling bathroom ornaments, think about balance and proportion. Group small items for impact, and make sure large items don't overpower the space.'
If your bathroom is compact, choosing ornaments for a bathroom windowsill or shelf will make the best use of surface space. Multifunctional and versatile bathroom accessories (such as tumblers and trays) are also a great option.
