16 articles to renovate and decorate your bathroom in an elegant way (but without spending too much)

They say you don’t know anyone until you know your bathroom. In a way, it is in this small room that many people show their complete identity: whether they are neat and tidy, manic and detail-oriented, or plain and simple, or even carefree. In the same way that a dirty bathroom may not say much about its owner, a neat and even pretty bathroom will always improve the impression we have of its occupants.

But doing renovations or rebranding is expensive, and in these times of rising prices, selecting and doing some in-depth window shopping is a necessary process to stay on budget. Luckily, searching and looking and looking at options on the internet, browsing the latest decorating trends, is something we love. Networks like Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok are full of content creators giving advice on how to make edits while keeping your pocket. From our side, we are looking for some products inspired by these suggestions that you can find with just one click.

Something every bathroom needs – especially ones that don’t have cabinets or closets (which is most of them) – are organization containers. Here you can put sponges, cosmetics, hair products or whatever you need to be in the bathroom. With this type of organizer, in addition to classifying objects and finding them more easily, you can visually make everything more homogeneous and stylish, both for you and for a possible visit. These Casaideas baskets are available in pairs and in two sizes: S (24×18.1×11.5 cm) and M (30x21x13.5 cm).

One way to organize your indoor shower—where shampoo, conditioner, and soap bottles often fight an endless battle for space—is to install a shelf that’s big enough and long enough to hold more than three products you use regularly. This way it will be more comfortable to reach them and you will also get a pleasant and modern visual order. This glass model, with black supports, is also used to place it above the sink.

It’s a trend in bathroom items: dispenser bottles for shower products, such as shampoo, balm and soap. The goal is to make the bathroom look neat and organized, even going so far as to have a mediocre hotel vibe. This container is made of opaque glass, amber in color and has a capacity of 1200 ml.

These bottles or other jars in the bathroom can be further distinguished by adding personalized labels. These are self-adhesive and allow you to personalize each container by designating the product inside (this will also help not to confuse shampoo with conditioner). To write on it, you must use a permanent marker, preferably white or metallic ink.

Behind the door or near the shower can be a good place to hang a coat rack: to have towels handy or even bathrobes — or also to leave clothes that you take off before the shower (and don’t not leave them thrown in the floor) – is an essential part of a tidy bathroom.

Another way to raise the bar in your bathroom is to add a tray to the vanity. You can arrange a small area with towels and air fresheners or put bathroom accessories like files, sponges and brushes.

Another trend in modern bathrooms is to paint faucets black. To avoid having to change all your pipes, you can easily change them yourself with paint, preferably spray paint, so the process will be easier and faster. The idea is that the spray you choose should be anti-corrosive and moisture-resistant, so it can withstand the harsh weather of the bathroom.

Before painting, you must clean and sand off the remnants of old paint, rust, grease and dust. When you apply the first coat, you should let it dry for at least two hours. Then assess if another coat is needed, and if so, repeat the process. When the faucet is completely dry, you can remove the protections you had put on and that’s it! Pinterest-worthy bathroom.

Do you remember the zen corner of towels or dispensers? If you add a vase with a few stems – dried, fresh or artificial, as you prefer – you will give this space an extra touch of delicacy. This transparent glass carafe is Italian and has a capacity of 5 liters, and can be very useful as a rustic vase.

Something that will also add a more sophisticated touch to your bathroom – or that of someone aware of other people’s allergies and needs – is to include a disposable tissue dispenser. The following model is suitable for handkerchiefs or napkins 10.5 cm long, 11.1 cm wide and 9.3 cm high. It includes an adhesive to attach it to walls, walls or even ceilings. If that’s not the color you want, you know! You would only need anti-corrosive spray in the color you need.

They are your real organizational allies in the bathroom, since you can have several of them depending on the space available. For example, one might be for cotton pads, another for cotton swabs, another for nail care tools or maybe for colets or tips. The idea is to be able to leave at your fingertips, but
visually beautiful.

To keep bathroom furniture consistent, instead of having containers of changing brands, a reusable glass bottle to fill with soap or hand lotion has a lot more personality — while polluting less. You and your guests will feel at a hotel.

A good set of hand towels will always make the difference. And if you combine between the colors naked or gray will be easier to keep them from looking dirty compared to white or light colors. The idea is that they are all the same to generate a visual order that does not collide.

If you like bar soaps, it is necessary to have a decent support so that they do not stick to the tub or the sink. This bamboo soap dish is perfect for almost any space: it’s durable and value-priced, while giving a more rustic yet elegant touch to your bathroom.

Adding a plant to your bathroom may be the cozy touch this room is missing. Here you have the option to put a real or artificial one. If you prefer the first option, hope your bathroom has a window and natural light, in addition to choosing a plant that is very resistant to humidity. Otherwise, look for an artificial one that has a natural look, like the one you can see below. If you buy it with a Cencosud card, you get a 30% discount.

To give the vase that more rustic touch that we recommended before, you can include decorative grasses, such as fox spikes or tails. Including them will give another level of warmth to the bathroom.

The bathroom floor you choose should match the color of the towels you choose as well as the shower curtain. That is to say of the same range of colors to obtain this uniformity. In this case, we have selected this floor from Calma House in sand grey, a sober tone that resists dirt. It can be placed in front of the sink or at the exit of the shower or the bathtub.
