Stylish, fuss-free ways to elevate your washroom.

Bathroom accessories and ornaments can be the deciding factor between a drab and fab washroom. From petite ensuites to large family bathrooms, selecting the right bathroom accessory helps to tie the room's overall look together and inject some extra personality into the space.

Director of Where Saints Go, Tracey Hague, agrees: 'Bathroom ornaments are a great way to add character and style to your bathroom.'

Accessories for a bathroom can be functional or purely ornamental, but the best options are a little bit of both. Unusual bathroom ornaments with quirky designs help to create a visual focal point. On the other end of the scale, classic bathroom accessories help to create a polished, uniform look.

'Live or faux plants add a touch of nature and freshness to the bathroom,' advises Tracey. 'Prints, photographs and paintings can add colour, texture and interest to a bathroom personalising the space. Decorative trays organise and display toiletries, soaps, and other items.'

The most popular accessories and ornaments link with the top bathroom trends for 2023, including warm metallics and spa-inspired bathrooms.

'Consider the overall style of your bathroom, colours and patterns you have used and the size of your space,' says Tracey. 'Try to choose items that complement the overall design scheme. When styling bathroom ornaments, think about balance and proportion. Group small items for impact, and make sure large items don't overpower the space.'

If your bathroom is compact, choosing ornaments for a bathroom windowsill or shelf will make the best use of surface space. Multi-functional and versatile bathroom accessories (such as tumblers and trays) are also a great option.

From luxurious soap dispensers to ceramic trinket trays, keep reading to discover 17 on-trend and functional bathroom accessories for 2023.
