Guests visiting? These bathroom accessories will elevate your bathroom in an instant.
We like to think that the bathroom is the heart of the home. With the festive season in full swing and guests travelling from far and wide to come and visit - it’s time to give your bathroom a bit of a refresh. To take things up a notch, all you need are a few key items. From Seletti’s playful bath mat to Missoni Home’s super soft towels and Dolce&Gabbana Casa’s scented candles, these are the bathroom accessories that’ll give your bathroom that five-star feeling.
1. THE CHEEKY BATHMAT
Seletti know how to have fun. Case in point, their cheeky Toiletpaper Bath Mat in collaboration with the Italian magazine. Shaped like a pair of lips with ‘sh*t’ written across the teeth, it delivers an instant hit of humour (and colour) to the proceedings. The best bit? The bath mat is crafted from 100% recycled plastic bottles. Genius.
2. THE GOOD GUEST TOWELS
The ultimate luxury for guests? A fresh set of towels. Missoni Home prides itself on creating bold, fluffy towels that give your bathroom a shot of colour and your visitors that five-star treatment. Featuring the brand’s signature zigzag motif, they’re made from 100% cotton, meaning they feel as good as they look.
3. THE FLUFFY ROBE
Why stop at bath towels when you can raise the game with a matching bathrobe? Coming in the same signature zigzag pattern, this Missoni Home bathrobe is made from 100% cotton for the cosiest of layers. Plus, as with all great bathrobes, it features deep pocks, a belted waist and big hood. Good luck getting your guests out the door.
4. THE FANCY SOAP DISH
Soap has had something of a resurgence over the past few years and frankly it deserves a good home on your bathroom sink. Enter the fancy soap dish. This chunky box-shaped one from Kartell comes in pink and green with a see-through finish that means it blends seamlessly with your sink.
5. THE MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL
A second weird and wonderful entry from Seletti is their Toiletpaper Lipsticks Mirror. Created in collaboration with Toiletpaper magazine, it features a series of hands, each holding a red lipstick. Take your cues and use to apply your own lippy come the festive season.
6. THE HANDY TABLE-COME-STOOL
Settling in for a bath and need somewhere to place your book? Or just like a handy place to pop things in the bathroom? Allow us to introduce you to the Pols Potten Tam Tam Stool. Available in a fresh green and a bright cobalt blue, it’ll deliver a hit of colour to your surroundings at the same time.
7. THE SHOWER STOOL
Ever wished you could pull up a seat in the shower? Thanks to Decor Walther, now you can. Crafted from acrylic with a polished surface, this little stool tucks neatly into your shower with a comfortable curved seat for those moments when you just need to take 10.
8. THE SMELLS-SO-GOOD CANDLE
Want to make sure your bathroom smells good? You’ll want the Blu Meditteraneo Scented Candle from Dolce&Gabbana Casa. Featuring Sicilian neroli and lemon, it’ll transport you – and your guests – straight to southern Italy. Bliss.
9. THE LUXE HANDWASH
Bringing the spa to the bathroom, Aesop’s Reverence Aromatique Hand Wash gently exfoliates the skin, thanks to finely milled pumice, and cleanses and purifies with bergamot rind. Expect a woody, earthy, smoky scent.
10. THE EVERYTHING SHOWER GEL
Maison Margiela Paris Replica scents bottle up specific moments in time. And their Lazy Sunday Morning Shower Gel is everything you’d expect. Featuring lily of the valley, white musks, iris and ambrette seeds, it recreates the sensation of laying in fresh sheets.
