Downtime in the bathroom is unparalleled. The joy of complete privacy coupled with just you and your thoughts floating around with no sense of time, need we say more?

It's a need of the hour, now more than ever, as the festive season approaches and guests trickle into your house. Plus, now you have this list of bathroom decor products that will bring the calm and the spa home!
Bathroom Bliss: 16 Ways To Revamp & Make The Bathroom Your Fave Spot At Home!
Stylish Planters
Any area at home can benefit from the addition of greenery but somehow the bathroom is always at the tail end of this blessing! Funny, because spotting a little or a lot of green here can instantly put you at ease. For this we recommend this ceramic planter with polka dot design from Freedom Tree. Best to add a snake plant, cause these survive better in less sunlight and humidity. Need more options? We have everything from metal, wicker to hanging and wall planters here.
Iconic Art
Only for the fun of it, add some pieces of framed art that you like. You can add something like funny like this one that reads 'please remain seated for the entire performance' or something iconic like this pulp fiction poster (or anything that you like) to make this space more personal and comfortable.
Lively Plants
Remember how we mentioned that most bathroom areas have indirect light and high humidity? If you think your plant won't last a day, believe us, this Dieffenbachia Plant or Alocasia Plant won't ever die on you, because they can't (they're artificial). These artificial plants from PolliNation need minimal tending and look super duper real, a very good first copy of nature we would say.! Head here to browse through more exquisite plants.
All-Purpose Laundry Baskets
Nobody likes dirty clothes thrown on the bathroom floor or worse, hanging around (for some of us, that is how it is). Not a pleasant sight. This lovely braided Tall Laundry Basket will not only get prepping and sorting for laundry out of the way but will also complement any neutral-tone bathroom with its rustic style. You could also use this as a waste basket! Leave it close to the wash basin or anywhere away from direct contact with water.
Pro-Tip: We've got plenty of other styles here.
Fancy Bathroom Sets
Those different coloured plastic hand soap bottles, soap dispensers, toothbrush holders; the whole set, while reasonably priced, doesn't look very aesthetic and also doesn't last too long. It's bad taste, especially considering the repeated plastic dumping it would amount to. What you need is this luxurious-looking steel bathroom set from Mason Home. The white and gold design make your bathroom look like a million bucks.
Discounted Price: INR 3,250
Cool Or Opulent Mats
Rugs definitely need a presence in your bathroom, especially for those times when you have to run out of the shower at the sound of the bell without skidding! Our picks from Freelance is comes in a set and is available in five different colours to match your bathroom. The goal is to find something plush, absorbent and soft.
Discounted Price: INR 2,090

Quirky Or Fancy Hangers
If you have plain wall hooks then consider changing them to these gold ones from Nestasia or Mianzi's cool Bamboo Hangers. These unusual designs will add to the playfulness that you are after. If you're looking for something more regal then you must get this Wall Hook from Miah Decor. Make sure not to hide these hangers behind the door or in a corner, even if you aren't going to be using them, they're good enough as just decor accents.
High Utility Mirrors
No bathroom space is complete without a mirror. After all, you deserve to admire your squeaky clean self after a luxurious soak! With Mohh's stylish Pocket Wall Mirror you not only get to do this but you can also discreetly stash your accessories and skincare in the thoughtfully designed open shelf on the side. Full points for accessibility, too. Not to leave you spoilt for choice, but to leave you spoilt for choice, LBB Shop has many other mirror options including vanity, cheval, and zoom mirrors here.
Lit Lamps
Lamps, especially table and wall lamps can spruce up a mundane bathroom aesthetic. This minimal pendant lamp from Homesake works if you want a clean and crisp look. Another interesting addition is this bird lamp from Insanitiez on a bathroom top that throws a beautiful warm yellow light. It also looks equally appealing when off because of its unique bird-on-a-tree design.
Discounted Price: INR 999
Charming Curtains
Fabric shower curtains are increasingly being used in bathrooms just to breathe in some life to the setting. But they do not just that, but help segregate spaces in small bathrooms, especially. Whether you have a tub or a shower space, a curtain is a fun element to play around with when it comes to bath decor. We like this Self Textured Curtain in off-white and the White Sheer Curtains both from Zeba on Shop On LBB.
Convenient Trinket Trays
Though many would argue that trays belong on dining tables, you definitely need one in the bathroom to neatly arrange your perfumes, serums, and other skincare essentials on. These are great to place jewellery or watches on too, especially when you're stepping in to freshen up quickly and do not want to ruin what you're wearing. Aside from being super useful, bathroom accessory trays can also add colour and design relief to a bathroom decor setup. We like this red one from Pipa Bella, which is a good size and adds a pop of color.
Discounted Price: INR 896
Classy Accessory Containers
Like the trays, your bathroom countertop also deserves sophisticated accessories in the form of storage containers or canisters just like this Blue Floral Marble Inlay Storage Box from Bicittra. Use this to store hair ties, cotton balls, earbuds or shaving supplies.
Calming Diffusers
Remember the calm and the peace we were asking you to invite to the restroom? The first step to that process is getting yourself a good-looking diffuser like one from Nakshikathaa or this Blue Pottery Diffuser from Viskaa Store, both pretty as a picture!
Relaxing Diffuser/Essentials Oils
Essential oils infuse the feeling of tranquility into your space, letting you enjoy the feeling of being elsewhere without having to move away from your bathroom! These multipurpose little bottles of delight can be used as a bath oil (add to the shower floor or the tub) or as a diffuser oil. We're picking the calming and healing Lavender Essential Oil just before bedtime and the herbaceous, sinus clearing Eucalyptus scent to start each day. Both from Clay Essentials. Need other fragrances? Head here.
Fragrant Candles
Nothing sets the bath time mood quite like a candle placed around the bathroom area. Those with fragrances only add to the ambiance. Some even double as body oils and butters to indulge in after a glorious shower. Come to think of it, pretty candles also add appeal and once they've burnt out can be used as a jar to hold brushes and cotton swabs!

Soothing Soaps & Bath Salts
Finally, meditate and enjoy your now elevated bathroom with the help of fragrant and frothy soaps and bath salts that are all natural and good for you! We suggest relaxing and unwinding after a long day with pain relieving lavender bath salt from Soulflower or empty a generous portion of soothing or suds of natural spa bars.
