How to Style Bathroom Accessories Like a Designer

Accessories are the fundamentals of an interior. Apart from the basics of interiors, accessories are essential for taking the design to the next level. They add style and warmth to any space, and here we discuss how this applies to your bathroom. A minimal interior can be completely transformed into an opulent and modern design with the correct accessories. The small details you choose have a reflection of style, trend, and character and contribute to the overall design.


HOW SHOULD I CHOOSE ACCESSORIES FOR MY BATHROOM?

You should consider the overall style of your bathroom, colours, and patterns as well as the size of your space. Choose items that complement your design scheme and enhance your decor pieces such as a freestanding bath. When styling decorative pieces, consider balance and proportion. You can do this by grouping small accessories for a striking impact, while making sure large pieces don’t overpower the space. If you are working with a small space, make the most of shelf space and style accessories on any clear surfaces. Wall hung bathroom accessories such as soap dispensers and towel rails are a great option for compact interiors, as they provide a clean and uncluttered aesthetic. Master suites and larger bathrooms have more space to work with meaning you are not limited to accessories and decor. It’s important to use minimal accessories that will enhance the appearance of your statement decor pieces and create a visually appealing space.


WHAT ACCESSORIES DO I NEED FOR A BATHROOM?

Accessories for a bathroom can be functional or purely for decorative purposes, but the finest options combine both of these features. Unique bathroom accessories create a visual focal point, however minimalist and classic designs create a clean, contemporary appearance. See our ideas below to discover which accessories would suit your bathroom design.




SOAP DISPENSER

Soap dispensers not only provide functionality but also offer an opulent touch. Our wall mounted soap dispensers save space and provide uncluttered living, you can also use whichever soap you would like to refill the dispensers continuously. If you're looking to achieve a contemporary bathroom, you should keep your accessory colour scheme consistent and style with the same finish such as brushed gold. Our renowned brushed gold finish is the perfect hue to create hotel luxury in your own home and can be seen across all of our collections.




WALL HUNG STORAGE

Make the most of your wall space by using wall hung fixtures that allow you to save space, open up an interior and create the illusion of a larger space. Wall hung vanity units and storage also declutter your bathroom and provide a place for your essentials. Storage can be as big or little as you need, whether it’s baskets to complement your shower enclosure or cabinets that create a focal point.




DECLUTTER SPACE

When it comes to interior design, less is more. Multiple accessories are unnecessary even if they blend well, it’s important to not go over the top. Cluttering space reduces the impact accessories are supposed to create. You should also only choose pieces that significantly contribute to the overall aesthetic of your bathroom. While grouping together accessories creates a strong appearance, it’s important that accessories don’t destroy the visual effect and aesthetic of the room. This is why it’s best to use minimal accessories.




INCORPORATE GREENERY

Add a touch of nature and bring the outdoors in with plants and small trees. Incorporating greenery is a great way to liven up the space and make it look visually appealing. You can choose from various indoor plants and opt for beautiful bonsai trees. If you’re wanting to add a hint of colour to a neutral interior, you can even incorporate dried flowers. Plants can be placed in a bathroom strategically to contribute to the overall aesthetic while adding warmth and colour to the interior.




TOWELS

Not only are towels essential, but they are a simple way to accessorise a bathroom. Displaying your plush towels on corner shelves, towel bars or heated towel rails makes a beautiful bathroom feature. Our Egyptian cotton towels create spa-grade luxury in your home and can be styled over our freestanding stone baths.




SCENTED LUXURY

Candles are a subtle way to add a sense of luxury to your space. They create a serene experience and heightened ambience as well as adding a soft scent throughout your bathroom while you relax. A side table, shelf or countertop space are the ideal places to style a candle. Lusso offers a selection of candle holders for tea lights, as well as the Cassis Nectar & Freesia Scented Candle that has a soft, floral aroma.
