Promising review: "Finally — such a simple product yet very versatile and can work in any bathroom! My challenge has been finding ways to add space to store toiletries and towels in a small rental bathroom with tile-covered walls and little space between the toilet and sink/tub. This was perfect: a tension-style, floor-to-ceiling rod! I purchased the wooden shelf style, which looks stylish and solidly built. This will be easy to take place to place if I move." —MichelleJC
Get them from Amazon for $79.99 (available in two colors and with three or four tiers).
Promising review: "My regular plastic shower liner is light weight and the draft from the rising shower air makes it reach out and slap me with a COLD touch. Hate that. This one is heavy and warm — NO cold slaps. It looks better too. With the right double hook shower curtain hooks it is easy to hang up and moves smoothly on the rod. I could not be more pleased. Quick to take down and machine wash, then put back up. No need to use dryer." —MikeF
Get it from Amazon for $15.98+ (available in two sizes and seven colors).
By the way, installation takes about five minutes and requires no cutting or patching. Plus, this has a universal fit, so no worries about measuring to make sure it works for your space — it does!
Promising review: "It's amazing how this can transform a bathroom from decrepit to beautiful in fewer than two minutes. Money well spent." —Polo
Get it from Amazon for $29.69.
Promising review: "I needed to organize all the stuff that ends up in the bathroom vanity cabinet. These were perfect in every way. They are clear so it is easy to see what is in each bin. Assorted sizes made it easy to sort out what I had and make best use of the space. The bins are beautifully made and look great on a shelf, in a drawer, in a cabinet, or even on the countertop. I would definitely buy again and have already suggested them to my friends. Happy to find quality products that are Made in the USA!" —Linda
Get the 10-piece set from Amazon for $22.99.
Promising review: "I ordered this because my bathroom has no window and the lighting was not good for makeup. My mirror is really large: 55''x32''. We centered and measured between the lights to get them evenly spaced. We tucked the wiring under the frame of the mirror. I love picking the light color and increasing the brightness. I really was impressed with how well the lighting is. They're really bright." —nursebette
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three styles).
Promising review: "This shower caddy basket set has exceeded my expectations! These are quite handsome, they look exactly like the photos. They also have a nice heft and quality feel. The adhesive system is quite unique as they aren't using suction cups. This uses a clear 'panel' that is adhered to the shower wall and the panel has hooks which you click the basket onto. It's not going anywhere. I'm totally buying a second set for my other bathroom." —Lisa Williams
Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (also available in polished silver).
Promising review: "This toilet paper holder is perfect for small bathrooms or even large ones if you just want things off the floor. It's functional, mine holds four rolls, and it’s a great price for a very practical item that will last. Great item!" —Michelle Rene
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three colors and sizes).
The picture on the right is my own TP holder! My bathroom is teeny tiny *and* the tile walls make it almost impossible to hold shelves or decor. I placed this right outside my bathroom door and (I could be wrong here) I think it looks cute enough to pass as decorative storage, no problem!
Promising review: "I love this. I can’t imagine how all the other sellers are selling this for so much more. I’m obsessed with having enough toilet paper and what better way than to display it stylishly." —Tracy
Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in four colors).
Into supporting woman-owned businesses? Start with this terrific tree-saving TP! Founder Samira Far has created a must-try line of toilet paper that's good lookin' AND good for the Earth!
Promising review: "I originally bought this toilet paper to save trees, but it is high-quality TP! I use fewer sheets at a time as the paper is thick and I love soft ridges on one side. It is soft, thick, and cleans really well. Highly recommended and will continue to use!" —Ellen D.

Promising review: "Living in Hawaii you have to select wise items that are weather-, salt-, and red dirt-proof, etc... In total, I ordered 11 boxes to complete my yoga deck. I have a few left over to make steps on the back. Very pleased and happy. May order more for an outdoor shower project!" —Adelia

Get it from Amazon for $14.39+ (available in four colors and three sizes).
Promising review: "These are lovely curtains. We needed just a bit of cover on this window (pictured above, right) and nothing too heavy or thick. These worked, and look really nice too. I plan to add some more plants so it all worked out great. The material gives just enough coverage." —Michelle
Get two panels from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in several sizes and colors).
Shower Cat is a small business established in 2021 specializing in products to prevent shower clogs.
Promising review: "I first saw this product on TikTok and I knew immediately that I needed it. I just moved into a new apartment and I didn’t want to be how I used to be, where I’d just let hair go down the drain and plug it eventually, or peel it off of the drain after each shower. It works great but I probably need some practice with it. I currently just floss my hair through it so it will hold them and there are a few stray hairs that don’t stick. I would recommend to anyone who is tired of putting your loose strands of hair on the shower wall." —Cari Schwartzkopf
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.
Promising review: "Love this faucet extender for our daughter’s sink. It has given her the independence of washing her hands and brushing her teeth. It’s so easy to pop on and off if we have guests over and we want it removed. And the price is absolutely phenomenal." —H_Crowell
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.79.
This includes a three-hole cover deck plate, US standard 3/8" compression threads, 1/2" adapters, solid brass construction ensures quality and reliability. Installation can be done at home, without professional help, using the instructions included.
Promising review: "This turns your bathroom into 5-star hotel! Great for modern design. This is a value for the money for sure, I would even pay more for this style." —Min Chang Tsai
Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in five colors).
Promising review: "When I placed my order for this tray I looked at the pics but did not realize how really cool this piece is. The ability to change the size is great but I just love the different trays that are removable as well as the ability to put my phone and a kindle in 'safe' areas of the tray. I found a perfect place for my TV remote should I want to watch TV and not read. I just got it and used it last night but it appears to be well made, balanced and offers versatility for the things you may want at your fingertips when taking a luxurious bath!" —SindiMcG
Get it from Amazon for $37.97+ (available in eight colors).
Promising review: "This is a beautiful showerhead, very thin, but feels quite sturdy and heavy. Installation took no more than five minutes. The shower head has a very smooth, highly polished, mirror-like chrome finish. It gives a satisfying showering experience without wasting too much water. Absolutely no leaks whatsoever. Everybody in our family said they liked it. What else is there to say about a showerhead?" —Sadda Reddy
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four sizes and finishes).
These have a 10-key remote that allows you to control the brightness, flicker, *and* choose between a 2-, 4-, 6-, or 8-hour timer. PS, get some batteries!
Promising review: "Love these! I don't like to burn real candles because I can't handle scents but I like the look of candles as part of decor and candle light. I hate those cheep faux wax looking ones. These are much more sleek and fashionable. You can't immediately tell they aren't real. It's not glass but a very sturdy hard plastic which I prefer with a toddler running around. My only small complaint is the remote sensor can be weird. The candles can be right next to each other and sometimes not all three will turn on so i have to hit the button three to four times. There's also a flicker light option which helps make them more realistic. Buying more!" —Amazon customer
Get it from Amazon for $23.39+ (available in seven styles).
Promising review: "All I can say is woooow! This mirror is not only affordable, but the quality is amazing. It’s heavy and not cheap looking. The gold color is not so tacky, and it’s done just right. My main concern was receiving a broken mirror but the packaging was great and arrived in one piece. Don’t hesitate buying this gem, you need it!" —Celeste C
Get it from Amazon for $86.99+ (available in five sizes and four colors).
To recreate the look above, be sure to grab some waterproof labels!
Promising review: "Exactly as pictured and truly pretty. The pumps are well made, and fit and work perfectly. The glass is not thin — not bulky-thick either. I am very impressed with the quality and pricing. I love these and will absolutely buy them again." —Admin Math & Science
Get them from Amazon for $14.99.
I have this! I was tired of how gross my bath mats got and decided to switch to bamboo to give my bathroom a little zhuzh. It looks elegant, feels nice, and is a cinch to keep clean.
Promising review: "This mat is perfect for my tiny Brooklyn apartment. I like it because it does not get gross like textile-based bath mats. It is easy to wipe down and looks clean. If feet germs gross you out, this is the mat for you!" —Laura Anne White

Owner William Eichorst creates the shop's lighting with inspiration and processes drawn from vintage American design. Based in Lititz, Pennsylvania, the shop's exclusive glass shades "are meticulously hand-selected from a collection of antique cast-iron molds over a century old and handblown by a craftsman using time-honored techniques." I want them all.
Promising review: "Awesome experience from beginning to end. Good customer service, quick response, friendly, and professional. There was clear communication about shipping and my lights arrived very well-packaged and with excellent installation instructions! I’ve put in a lot of lights and the directions on these were well thought out and clear. I really love these lights, the details on them really make them special! They are the perfect addition to my laundry room upgrade! Thanks again and I highly recommend this shop!" —Carrie Jackson Glenn

It can fit up to two towels and has a 15-minute adjustable timer.
Promising review: "After reading lots of reviews on several different towel warmers, I bought this product for my mom for Christmas. I tested it out before giving it to her. It was works great! The timer looks so sleek and fancy. Even at only 15 minutes, you get a nice warm towel! 10/10 would recommend! Already thinking of buying one for myself!" —Kaylee Sierra
Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in two colors).
Promising review: "This towel warmer is amazing. I was looking for something with a built-in timer and an in-wall cable installation that doesn’t have an ugly box outside of it. I love how the cable is integrated into the leg. The install was very difficult on my end due to trying to fish power from my attic to the bathroom and the hole being 1/2 inch. I didn’t have any power outlets nearby. Totally worth it. It does get very warm and my small bathroom doesn’t have a heater in it so I was surprised how warm the bathroom was! An added bonus!" —Terrace
Get it from Amazon for $325 (available in four colors).
Promising review: "My kitchen window is on the sidewalk near the community mailboxes. Lots of people walking by. I loathe mini blinds that collect dust and grease, especially since the stove is next to the window. Curtains are better, but still collect cooking smells and grease particles. I installed this in about 10 minutes. It lets in light, but hides me from nosy people." —Gayle Smith
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 11 sizes).
The 2-pound rock last up to 10 baths. The four pound rock lasts approximately 8–20 baths depending on the water temp, amount of water used, and based on how long the rock soaks in the water.

Get it from Rocks Detox on Etsy for $34.90+ (available in two weights and six rope scents).
Promising review: "This has a lot of cushion for your back and neck. I had no issues with sticking it to the tub. The best part is the hook which allows it to dry out well. In this time of working at home, I need a nice tub to help relax." —Danielle Piacentini
Get it from Amazon for $43.99 (available in two colors).
Oddbird is a luxury textile company making one-of-a-kind, ethically sourced home goods and clothing. Their towels are terrific, the outfits are outstanding, and folks everywhere are basically living in their robes (they have the reviews to prove it). This woman- and-family-owned small business is taking huge steps to bring slow fashion and function to everyday consumers.
I own these towels! I have been an Oddbird customer for several years after one fateful Instagram ad changed my little life. I own products from their clothing line (which were great before pregnancy and *incredible* while pregnant/nursing), my husband and I have a pair of robes, and I recently started slowly collecting different towels from this collection. I don't understand how they can be so lightweight, soft, and absorbent...but they are. Owning really nice towels is my new favorite part of adult life.
Get it from Oddbird for $59 (available in six colors and with customized embroidery).

Promising review: "I love this trash can because no one will ever see the trash I put in my bathroom trash can. When I put my hand above the sensor, it opens so discreetly and gently, and stays open for a few seconds then gently closes. The outside is absolutely beautiful. I know it’s just a trash can, but in my bathroom it looks like a cute piece of art." —Dawn

Get them from Amazon for $32.04+ (available in different colors, styles, and set sizes).
Promising review: "I ran across this mirror on another person's TikTok. Once I received this and mounted it in my shower, it was amazing! It feels like a fancy hotel feature that was placed within my shower. I love the different light settings. On the downside, the mirror does fog up frequently due to the steam. Since the mirror comes with a wiper, that helps as a slight fix to that problem. Overall, I highly recommend this as a purchase for an elevated feature to your bathroom" —Shanel Mitchell
Get it from Amazon for $24.64 (available in three colors).
Promising review: "TikTok made me do it. If you're a clean freak and love to organize, I would definitely recommend this product. Easy to assemble and aesthetically pleasing. I use this to store my scrub daddy/sponges and microfiber cleaning cloths. Not necessary but definitely worth it!" —Sierra

Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in five metal finishes).
Promising review: "Incredible addition to my bathroom! They’re relatively small (see picture to compare to standard tissue box size), but they work perfectly for cotton pads, etc. I was worried when I realized that they were plastic, however, I have come to love that they are! I don’t have to worry about them breaking and I can even throw them into a suitcase for long trips. The lids fit perfectly, and I like how tightly they pop on and off. There are some small imperfections in the plastic but I’m a neat freak and it doesn’t bother me at all. You will not regret this purchase!" —Amazon Customer
Get two from Amazon for $6.49 (available in four colors and different pack styles).
This is water resistant, so it's prepared for spills in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. It comes in a sheet with 10 tiles and some reviewers recommend getting an extra adhesive spray before applying.
Promising review: "These are so easy to install! We sold our house and moved into a mobile home on our land while we build a house. We wanted to do a little updating, but we don't want to spend a lot. We decided to use self-adhesive flooring, and I fell in love with these! The pattern and color were perfect for my bathroom theme! Installation was easy and quick. They stick great, and it's been a few weeks, and we've had no issues. I love the texture, and they're so easy to clean! Definitely recommend!" —Heather Wine

BuzzFeed editor Melanie Aman swears by it. In her own words:
"This is the bidet I use (I have the Classic version but will definitely get the Spa version next if mine ever goes kaput) and I 100% recommend to my friends, family, and to you, dear reader. Installation was pretty simple; from start to poop it took about 15 minutes. The sensation is...interesting...to say the least but you definitely get used to it. In fact, I recently moved apartments and it's taken me awhile to hook up the bidet (I'm a procrastinator, OK?!). Oh how I've missed my bidet during this time (and I'm sure my butt feels the same way). But seriously, I cannot stress how life-changing getting a bidet is."
Promising review: "I am loving my Tushy! It is powerful and so easy to install! Not gonna lie, I wish my sink was on the same wall so I could do the warm water option but it is super effective and definitely wakes you up! I believe this is the best way to keep things happily clean and, coupled with my Squatty Potty, I think 2019 is going to be the year of the happy BM!" —Natalie D.
Get it from Tushy for $99+ (available in nine colors).
Promising review: "We recently had our shower replaced, and I now have glass shower doors. Not wanting to get hard water-stained glass, I read up on the best ways to keep them clean. A common suggestion is to use a squeegee after showering to prevent spotting, so I bought this model. From what I can tell, it’s very well made and made of quality materials. The rubber is smooth and substantial, unlike what you generally find in dollar stores. Once I got the hang of it, wiping down the glass doors was quick and easy, and it did a great job of whisking away the water drops. And it does help in keeping the glass from getting hard water spots. The little holder that comes with it can be stuck to the shower wall or the glass door, whichever is most convenient for you, so the squeegee is always there when you need it." —Sue I
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes and four colors).
Promising review: "I owned one of the plastic ones before and this was a total upgrade! LOVE the look, a little hard to fold but maybe I just need to workout more. Anyway, my fiancé was very skeptical but he says it’s AMAZING and now takes less time hogging the restroom." —Evelyn Flores
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in five colors).
Promising review: "This box is well made and cute to place on the toilet tank cover. There are two different sayings. This fits two large sized toilet paper rolls and a small plant. It's cute bathroom decor." —Cathy D.
