Choosing the Right Bathroom Accessories to Match Your Style

When it comes to bathroom design, vanities often take center stage—but it’s the bathroom accessories that tie everything together. From hardware and lighting to mirrors and towel bars, the right accessories can enhance your space’s personality, function, and flow.

Here’s how to choose bathroom accessories that not only match your style but also make your bathroom feel like a curated, comfortable sanctuary.

1. Identify Your Bathroom Style First

Before selecting accessories, determine your overall aesthetic. This will help you choose pieces that feel cohesive—not chaotic.

Popular bathroom styles in 2025:

• Modern Minimalist – Sleek lines, matte black or brushed brass finishes

• Transitional – Blends modern and traditional with timeless hardware

• Farmhouse/Rustic – Wood accents, oil-rubbed bronze fixtures, vintage touches

• Scandinavian – Light wood tones, white accessories, clean symmetry

• Glam/Modern Luxe – Gold finishes, ornate mirrors, high-contrast accents

💡 Pro Tip: If your vanity has bold character, go for more subtle accessories. If your vanity is minimalist, use accessories to add personality.

2. Choose a Statement Mirror

Your bathroom mirror is both functional and decorative. It also sets the tone for the rest of your accessories.

• Frameless or round mirrors → Great for modern and minimalist styles

• Wood-framed mirrors → Perfect for rustic or organic designs

• Arched or antique finishes → Add elegance in transitional or glam bathrooms

Consider LED-backlit mirrors or integrated storage options if you need both lighting and organization.

3. Coordinate Your Hardware and Fixtures

Match (or mindfully mix) these key accessory finishes:

• Faucet

• Towel bar or ring

• Toilet paper holder

• Cabinet pulls or knobs

• Showerhead and valve trim

Most popular finishes in 2025:

• Matte black (sleek, bold, modern)

• Brushed brass (warm, stylish, luxe)

• Chrome (classic and clean)

• Brushed nickel (soft and subtle)

Don’t feel pressured to match every piece exactly. Mixing finishes can add depth—just keep it intentional and limited to two finishes max.

4. Don’t Overlook Lighting Fixtures

Good lighting is both functional and stylish. Consider layering three types of light:

• Ambient: Ceiling light or recessed lighting

• Task: Vanity lighting above or beside mirrors

• Accent: LED strips under vanities or behind mirrors

Trending tip: Use linear vanity lights or globe sconces to modernize the space and add warmth.

5. Add Texture with Textiles

Think beyond function—towels, bathmats, and shower curtains offer a chance to express your style.

• Minimalist? Stick to monochrome or soft earth tones

• Boho or Coastal? Try tassels, fringe, or woven textures

• Modern or glam? Metallic thread, high-contrast patterns, or velvet bathmats

Coordinate these with your accessories and vanity color for a polished, designer look.

6. Layer in Decor + Function

Complete your bathroom with accessories that enhance function while adding visual appeal:

• Soap dispensers & trays in coordinating finishes

• Storage baskets or open shelving for towels

• Greenery or small plants to soften the space

• Candles or diffusers for a spa-like feel

These finishing touches help your bathroom feel lived-in and intentional.
