These 24 Buys Have Made My Bathroom the Chicest Room in the House
When it comes to shopping, fewer things bring me more joy than purchasing pieces for my bathroom. As someone who loves nothing more than ending the day with a drawn-out soak, I consider my bathroom to be my own personal sanctuary. Of course, it’s also the room in which I kick-start my routine every morning, which is why I think it’s of the utmost importance that we all create tranquil, stylish bathroom spaces to spend these precious parts of our days in. A chaotic scene is not conducive to relaxation, after all.
Aside from plumbing fixtures and tiles, there are so many ways to help elevate your bathroom, and needless to say, beauty products are a good place to start. While you’ll likely have a cupboard lined with lotions and potions, it’s important to think about the bathroom beauty products you want to have on display. To create a calming ambience, you’ll need to select these products carefully. It helps to stick to a tonal colour palette to ensure each product blends together seamlessly to create a chic backdrop.
Brass bath caddies and waste bins, fresh room sprays housed in amber bottles, tufted Berber-style bath mats, coordinating (and industry-loved) shampoos and conditioners, elegant toothpaste (yes, that's a thing), and nourishing oil soaks—scroll below to browse my edit of the best bathroom beauty products to adorn your space with.
