Best bathroom accessory sets

Want to make everything matchy matching? Sets are a great way to instantly tie the space together.

The best bathroom accessories that shoppers absolutely love (3)Shimmery

Mercer41 Melson Bathroom Accessories Set

Made from: Ceramic
Color: Silver
Price: $21.99 for 4pcs

I’m all for adding a bit of glam here and there, and this set is giving me so much star power. The silver shade will complement bathroom fittings like taps and shower heads, but you could also match it up with a silver mirror or even a contrasting gold one. I also like the idea of pairing it up with navy blue pieces or even lilac pieces, if you want a cute color to go with it.

The best bathroom accessories that shoppers absolutely love (4)Ocean devotion

KMwares Teal Blue Glass Bathroom Accessories

Made from: Glass, rubber, and wood
Color: Teal blue
Price: $36.99 for 4pcs

I’ve been watching The White Lotus recently, and this looks like something that would be in one of their hotels, IMO. Amazon shoppers say that the glass is super sturdy, which gives it a seriously luxe feel. Oh, and the tinted glass will make it easy to see all your bathroom toiletries — AKA no more losing those pesky cotton earbuds.

The best bathroom accessories that shoppers absolutely love (5)So chic

RQYIXI Bathroom Accessories Set

Made from: Ceramic and wood
Color: White
Price: $26.99 for 4pcs

Want to turn your bathroom into a spa? This gorgeous, minimalistic set will get you a li’l bit closer to that dream. The ceramic is so easy to clean, and can just be wiped down as part of your bathroom cleaning routine. Plus, the dark wood at the bottom adds a really lovely pop of contrast, separating the pieces from the sink so they stand out.

Best shower caddies

Give your shower a whole lotta power with caddies that can contain plenty of toiletries.

The best bathroom accessories that shoppers absolutely love (6)Carry around

Eudele Portable Mesh Shower Caddy

Size (in.): H9.84 x W8.66 x D8.66
Made from: Mesh
Color: Blue or black
Price: $11.99

Living in a dorm or shared house and don’t want your housemate stealing your Olaplex? I can relate, bestie. I wish I’d known about this caddy when I was living with roommates, as it would have made transporting items 10x easier. Hence, I’m spreading the word so you can have all that convenience. With eight pockets, there’s a ton of room for all your lotions, hairbrushes, and towels.

The best bathroom accessories that shoppers absolutely love (7)Stick on

Huryfox Metal Shower Caddy with Soap Dish

Size (in.): H2.6 x W12 x L12
Made from: Metal
Color: Black
Price: $19.98

Why have one shower caddy when you can have two? This set has two large baskets, plus a li'l soap dish that's super adorable. They can carry 11 lbs of weight, so you don't need to worry about loading them up with all your different shampoos (I'm a girl that likes to have options too, DW). It also uses suction cups to hang them up, making them renter-friendly AF.

The best bathroom accessories that shoppers absolutely love (8)Hook over

Zenna Home Over-The-Shower Caddy

Size (in.): H3.9 x W24.29 x D10.24
Made from: Steel
Color: Chrome
Price: $27.99

If you like to have everything coordinated in your shower, this is the caddy for you. Simply hook this over your existing shower system, and you've extended the space you have. It's rust-resistant, meaning you don't need to stress about it losing its pretty shade. Oh, and the best part? The baskets slide outward so your taller shampoo bottles can fit around the shower head. Boom!

Best shower curtains

Stop all that water sprinkling onto the floor with a shower curtain that keeps things cute and dry.

The best bathroom accessories that shoppers absolutely love (9)Tutti-frutti

Allover Fruits Patterned Shower Curtain

Size (in.): W72 x L72
Made from: Cotton
Colors: 2
Price: $39

It’s funny that this is called the "Allover" fruits curtain, as I have seen it all over my Insta feed. If you have a plain bathroom that you can’t paint, this fun curtain is such a fab option for instantly making the space more vibrant. It’s also machine washable, making cleaning it a breeze. There are two patterns — cherries and peaches — so go for whichever suits your style best (Bowser’s choice is my personal fave).

The best bathroom accessories that shoppers absolutely love (10)All the options

Amazon Basics Fabric Shower Curtain

Size (in.): W72 x L72
Made from: Polyester, metal, plastic
Colors: 14
Price: $9.98

Hello, 14 different color options! The herringbone one in the pic has caught my eye, but I also think the blue medallion and navy blue Moroccan patterns are all kinds of beautiful. My fave feature though? The weighted hem which will keep the curtain in place, so it won’t keep moving about and sticking to you while you’re trying to shower (*shudders*).

Oh-so-elegant

Threshold Botanical Shower Curtain

Size (in.): W72 x L72
Made from: Plain weave
Color: White
Price: $20

Okay, I’ll admit it: I’m a cottagecore girlie. Anything that makes me think of walking in a forest in a gingham dress, and I’m there. That’s why I’m obsessed with this lovely floral shower, which can be hung up really quickly thanks to its buttonhole top. Match it with bathroom plants and wooden accessories for a full-on natural look.

Best trash cans

Having a trash can is def a must in the bathroom — but that doesn’t mean that it can’t look hella cute.

The best bathroom accessories that shoppers absolutely love (12)Pretty in pink

Qualiazero Trash Can

Size (in.): H14 x W7.5 x D13.2
Made from: Stainless steel
Colors: 6
Price: From $24.98

Live your pastel fantasy with this beautiful bin, which comes in an array of candy colors, from mint green to baby blue. This bad boy has a pedal, so you don't need to spread around germs while throwing away your trash. Add in the soft-close lid and the non-skid base, and you've got everything you need for an uncomplicated trash journey.

The best bathroom accessories that shoppers absolutely love (13)Go bold

Ebern Designs Hardyal Basket

Size (in.): H12 x W11.2 x D7.1
Made from: Plastic
Color:
Orange
Price: $22.99

Sure, trash cans may not be the hottest thing in the bathroom, but you can still use them to make a big decorative impact. Bold ones are always a brilliant choice, and this orange bin scores highly with reviewers thanks to its size and shape. It's such a happy color and is simple to spot if you or your guests need to quickly throw something away.

The best bathroom accessories that shoppers absolutely love (14)Golden touch

MDesign Small Wastebasket

Size (in.): H10.25 x W10.25 x D5.5
Made from: Stainless steel
Colors: 16
Price: From $22.99

This can is Amazon's Choice, and with its amazing choice of colors, it's easy to see why. The slimline rectangular shape makes it easy to tuck into smaller corners and gaps, if you don't want your trash can to be super visible. Shoppers say that it has unbreakable strength and is a dream to clean — basically, all you need in a trash can.

Best bath mats

Can you imagine stepping out of a warm bath and shower, and having your tootsies land on a cold floor? NTY.

Rainbow realness

Pillowfort Rainbow Cotton Bath Rug

Size (in.): W20 x L36
Made from: Cotton
Color: Multi-colored
Price: $16

Looking for an alternative to a rectangular bath mat? This adorable wedge-shaped mat is a great size for small spaces and will fit snugly against the bath without taking up too much room. It has a tufted texture, meaning it will be soft to step on, and is made of cotton which is highly absorbent. I’m also loving the tassels and plaited stripes, which are the sweetest finishing touches.

The best bathroom accessories that shoppers absolutely love (16)Multi-functional

Latitude Run Bohumil Microfiber Bath Mat

Size (in.): W16 x L24
Made from: Polyester
Colors: 5
Price: $17.99

I have a bath mat that’s similar to this one and can confirm that the bobbly texture feels incredible on the feet. Wayfair shoppers rate how cozy this one is, its softness, and how fast it dries too. One shopper bought one for her laundry room and another for her hallway entrance, showing that it can also be used beyond the bathroom. Yas versatile queen, slay.

Super vibrant

Opalhouse Banded Striped Bath Rug

Size (in.): W20 x L30
Made from: Cotton
Color: Multi-colored
Price: $17.99

The pretty stripes and woven texture on this bath mat give it such a gorgeous, playful look. I like that these shades aren’t too OTT, as do Target shoppers, with one saying it adds color without being too loud. Ooh and BTW, there is an adorable striped towel from Target in the same Opalhouse range, which would match it so well.
