Chic bathroom accessories
Once you’ve chosen the key décor for your bathroom, including everything from the main furniture like baths and vanity units, to tiles and flooring, it’s time to accessorise …
Accessorising will add the final touches to your bathroom and is a great way to add further texture to your interior, as well as making it generally more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. There are lots of ways in which you can accessorise your space and we’ve come up with a few ideas below to give you a little inspiration.
Mix in metallics
Metallic features continue to be a big trend for bathrooms and are very versatile, being used in all sorts of fittings and standalone accessories. For instance, brassware – whether brushed brass or glossy – is often used in showers (on screens or the showerhead itself), vanity units, taps and lighting, amongst other things.

Accessorising with metallic handles and taps is another way to enhance your bathroom, adding in stylish practicality with those smaller details. Gunmetal is a growing trend and introducing this into your bathroom in subtle ways can add the interest of metallic without being overpowering. It can also complement a variety of décor and works well with all sorts of colour palettes.
The Nuie Arvan Basin Mixer (inc. Waste) in Brushed Gun Metal has a sleek modern finish and will add elegance to any space.
The brushed gunmetal tone adds depth and is very eye-catching, settling somewhere in between black and silver. Details like this can really complement your bathroom, making every aspect of the space visually appealing and contributing to that all-important texture.

Heating can also be chic, with the Pele Heated Towel Radiator in Brushed Brass a great way to combine practicality with style, as it not only looks attractive, it also heats towels and has an inbuilt Aromawell feature. Indeed, this particular towel rail will scent your bathroom as it heats, with the aromatherapy oil an extra treat and a novel way to accessorise your room.
The design is also sleek and contemporary, while the brushed brass adds its own warmth with that luminous, gilded tone, all helping to make your bathroom a welcoming space.
Bamboo accessories
Bamboo continues to be popular in contemporary bathrooms and you can easily accessorise with bamboo features in a number of ways. Bath caddies are one example of this and the Viktor Benson Bamboo Bath Caddy & Bath Board is great for using with any size of bath, being easily adjustable to fit your specific type of tub. It will also bring a natural organic look to your interior design, adding another dimension to the overall look.
Whether you want to read in the bath, enjoy a glass of something, or simply have somewhere handy to place your bath time essentials, a caddy is always a useful idea. They’re also another way to introduce another texture to your bathroom and help to make the space more characterful.

Gorgeous glassware
Mirrors are a staple of most bathrooms and today, there’s a lot of choice when it comes to this particular accessory. From LED mirrors and framed to plain mirrored cabinets and the Bluetooth variety, there’s something to suit every taste.
The Stream Bluetooth LED Mirror will add dimension to your bathroom.
The Stream Bluetooth LED Mirror has energy-efficient LED lighting and is a large rectangular mirror which will instantly make your room appear brighter, thanks to its larger size. With various handy features, including a heated demister pad, charging sockets and an infrared on/off sensor, it also has Bluetooth connectivity and can connect to this at a range of up to 10m.
Whether you choose to hang it in landscape or portrait style, the Stream Bluetooth LED Mirror will add some wow factor to your bathroom. However, if you prefer something smaller, or without those features, then there’s everything from brushed brass framed mirrors to frameless mirrors and cabinets to choose from.
Luxury lighting
Lighting is, of course, essential in any room, but putting considered thought into the type of lighting you use can enhance your space in various ways. In the bathroom, for example, sidelights may be ideal for placing left and right of a mirror. However, if your mirror has inbuilt lighting then you shouldn’t need the additional light, so overhead lighting might be your focus instead.
At Bathshack, we supply various lighting options, including chandeliers for extra wow factor, as well as wall lights, LED boards and down lighting. We also have shower lights, as well as lighting for bathroom cabinets, ceilings and general lighting accessories.
The Josef Martin Coquet LED Wall Light in Chrome Metal & Glass has a white glass surround with an LED lamp included with the light fitting. It will add instant elegance to your bathroom and is a quick and easy way to create another point of interest within which is both functional and stylish.

There are lots of ways to accessorise your bathroom, including the use of textiles like rugs and bathroom-ware such as tumblers, soap dishes, toilet roll holders and more. All of these smaller details will subsequently work together with the overarching design to create a bathroom which is visually appealing and one which you’ll want to spend time in.
You can also install a waterproof bathroom TV, if you want to add further luxury and enjoy a soak in the tub while watching your favourite drama.
When it comes to bathroom accessorising, the choices are many, so this is a great way to unleash your creativity, as accessories are easily changed and can brighten up a bathroom and add vibrancy and style. If you want to add a touch of flair and drama to your interior and get a bit more daring, then accessorising is ideal!
