When selecting accessories for your bathroom décor, keep your bathroom’s theme in mind. The color, style and texture of the bathroom accessories you pick should compliment your bathroom’s theme.

For example, if you’re decorating the guest bathroom, you may want it to be elegant and inviting. Adding embroidered hand towels and scented soaps, perhaps a framed mirror and a decorative tissue box will give it a finished look.

Accessories to use when decorating your master bathroom may include thick, fluffy rugs and towels, a towel warmer, candles and bowls of potpourri, and a matching designer tooth brush holder, lotion pump, soap dish, tissue holder and trash can set.

If you prefer a rustic theme select accessories for your bathroom décor made with natural wood or wood-like textures and colors. If you’d like to add a dramatic flair, include live plants into the scheme, as well as earthy colored shower curtain, rugs, and towels. Compliment the bathroom décor with natural looking tiles on the walls around the tub and fixtures.

Now that you’ve selected a theme for your bathroom decor, you need to pick out colors, patterns and textures you want to use. If you’ll be using bathroom accessories such as a toothbrush holder, tissue box, lotion pump and trash can set, be sure to coordinate them with your colors and patterns as well as with the bath fixtures, flooring, and lighting fixtures.

Once you’ve picked out the patterns, colors and textures to go with your bathroom’s theme, you’ll probably want to think about some accessories for organization and additional storage solutions. Make-up and toiletries can really clutter up a bathroom if you don’t have an organization and storage plan. Shower caddies and decorative baskets are ideal items for keeping your updated bathroom clutter-free.

How much should you spend on accessories for your bathroom decor? Well, that depends on where you shop for them. If you’re on a tight budget, try shopping at off-price stores such as TJ Maxx or HomeGoods. Also, Bed, Bath and Beyond and Linens-n-Things have great sales plus they usually mail out coupons to local residents. You can also browse their websites to get an idea of what they offer before going into the stores.
