The right bathroom accessories turn a functional room into a calm, spa-like space — and the upgrade costs far less than a renovation. Here are 10 worth buying.
My top pick: A matching 4-piece bathroom accessory set — soap dispenser, toothbrush holder, tumbler, and tray — in ceramic or marble-look resin in a warm neutral is the set to own; matching pieces make the countertop look intentional, and a tray corrals everything.
