5 Must Have Bathroom Accessories

Who doesn’t love a five-star hotel bathroom with all the luxury toiletries and beautiful accessories? Or a stylish quirky look which screams uniqueness? We want you to feel just like you are in the lap of luxury (however you define that) in your own bathroom at home. To this end, we have collected the 5 must-have bathroom accessories to make your bathroom Instagram-ready.

One of the key techniques of making your bathroom look like a magazine lifestyle spread is to choose stylish accessories to contain all the items you need. A tissue box is a much underrated accessory in our view but they do not need to look dated. We just love the retro classic styling of Spextrum tissue boxes. Refillable and eco-friendly, these tissue boxes feature classic retro images of full-skirted ladies of the 1950s, with the emerging tissue forming the skirt. Fun, unusual, and definitely a talking point, this is a must-have for vintage lovers, the quirky, and the hip.

For something more geometrically inspired the collection from Nada Debs is a winner. Using natural and modern materials, sharp lines and interesting angles, this collection shows even the humble tissue box can be a thing of beauty.

The second must-have accessory group is trinket boxes and display trays. Store away Q-tips, make up pads, item of jewelry and so on in beautiful little containers. We just love the Ring boxes from Normann Copenhagen, crafted in calming pastels and rounded shapes, each container is topped with a ring handle for easy access and an elegant finishing touch. For metallic accents, silver and brass bird boxes by Orient 499 are handmade in Lebanon, or add a good luck charm to your space with their specially crafted Pomegranate boxes, available in two sizes in silver or gold-brushed brass for a beautiful and functional reflective accent. If those do not tempt you, glass containers from Brucs may have something to delight and inspire, or try marble accessory trays from Paz Marble, or our favorite, the carefully crafted Helsinki valet tray, made from full-grain leather to provide a touch of masculine elegance to your space.

The third in our list of must-have accessories for the bathroom is a scent. Whether you revel in the fabulous blended delights of Italian brand Culti’s candles, diffusers or sprays or whether you favor the unique scents of the African continent blended and brought to you by Belgian creators Baobab, a scent will make your bathroom a relaxing temple to soothe away the day's stresses. We are really tempted by the Les Exclusives collection for the bathroom, available in four captivating scent choices, for a heady and sensual experience. Of course, we could not discuss scents without mentioning Montroi, a local UAE establishment with scents hailing from the world-famous Grasse. Any of Montroi’s offerings will transport you into a sensory paradise, using only the finest time-honored fragrance extraction methods. We can’t wait to test the Orange Blossom one!

The fourth must-have is perfume and and Botanyc gets our vote. A marriage of French perfumery expertise meeting the urban chic of New York, we carry a small collection of their finest scents. Check out Italian brand Culti too, for a range of men's and women’s fragrances for some European flair.

Culti is also our choice for the fifth and final must-have accessory in the bathroom - soap and lotion. You can enjoy your favorite Culti perfume in liquid soap and lotion form, so you can revel in the sublime scents from dawn till dusk.
