Promising reviews: "Love this bath pillow! It’s very comfortable and covers my neck, back, and shoulders just where they need the cushioning. It stays in place and doesn’t slide around due to the larger suction cups. It air-dries very well!" —SKY "The comfort level of this pillow is off the charts!! Super soft on the skin, strong suction cups that hold it in place, and after a handful of months, there is still not a mildewy or musty smell to it. Used about two times a week." —Shazam Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in four colors). Promising review: "Life changing. My hands get very dry after washing them with any other soap... It has turned our bathroom into a spa. Washing my hands has turned into a form of self-care. The ground pumice lightly exfoliates my hands, and the smell is intoxicating. I'm big on scents, and I can't do anything that smells overly sweet or manufactured. This scent is fresh and earthy, yet still full-bodied." —EB Promising review: "Exactly as pictured and truly pretty. The pumps are well-made, and fit, and work perfectly. The glass is not thin — not bulky-thick either. I am very impressed with the quality and pricing. I love these and will absolutely buy them again." —Admin Math & Science Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (for a pair). Yes, the same makers behind *that* countertop water filtration system also carry an excellent — and aesthetically pleasing — system for your shower that should not be slept on! I was pleasantly surprised by how simple swapping out my shower head was — not to mention less skin sensitivity and dryness in the weeks that followed. Promising reviews: "Genuinely one of the easiest showerhead swaps I’ve done. Everything you need is included. A QR code on the box links to clear, step-by-step instructions. Took me about 10 minutes start to finish. I was skeptical that a filtered showerhead could still deliver strong pressure, but Rorra nailed it. Water flow feels just as strong as my old unfiltered head. No noticeable drop in pressure, which was my biggest concern going in. It still feels strong and satisfying." —Matt "The filtered water has been my favorite part. My hair feels noticeably softer after showering, and my skin feels less dry and more comfortable." —Karen S. Get it from Amazon for $239 (available in three colors/finishes) Promising review: "I have this eucalyptus bundle hanging in my shower, and it’s been such a nice upgrade to my daily routine. The scent is refreshing without being overpowering, and the steam really brings out that clean, spa‑like aroma." —Dennis V Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in six styles). Promising review: "Best purchase ever, love that it brightened and give my bathroom a new fresh look. Easy to put together and only took about two hours." —Billy The towel warmer has four timer settings (15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes) and an auto shut-off feature. It can fit two large towels. Promising review: "Absolutely my favorite thing purchased from Amazon. You will never be able to take a shower without this once you have it. Just like right out of the dryer towels!" —Erin These light strips easily stick onto your mirror and come with a dimmer, so you can adjust the brightness. Promising review: "I got these lights for a dim bathroom and I LOVE them! They are bright, cheerful, and cool as decor. I can do my hair, put on makeup, or even use them as a room light because my vanity opens into my bedroom. I do my own eyebrows, nails, etc. so having good light is essential, and these lights are great. I got a second set for a different bathroom, and those look great too. I am VERY happy with this purchase." –ellesbietta Promising review: "This tissue paper holder holds three jumbo rolls easily plus one at the top. And there is a little shelf that you can put products on or your phone on. It was very easy to assemble and it was a nice black color I definitely recommend." –@Chrissycupcake420 Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in four colors/finishes). Promising reviews: "Really quite amazing. Softer than anything short of a 5-star hotel. Big size, is the real thing, and wraps like a robe... Ended up napping in it, just too darn soft..." —Richard Pawloski "These towels are amazing. If you are looking for the types of towels you see in nice hotels, look no further than these. They are soft, highly absorbent, and heavyweight. They do not shed as much on the first wash as other towels I've ordered, and are incredibly colorfast. I highly recommend these towels!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $109 (for a pair; available in seven colors/patterns). Promising review: "These little babies can detect motion from about 10 feet away and turn themselves on. The light they give off is incredibly bright considering they are only six LEDs. After they turn on they will shut off after about one minute with no motion in the room, so they are great for a bathroom night light but you may have to move a few times if your there for a bit." —Mr. SmokeyJoe Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (for a pack of three; available in five styles). I have been converted! Finally, a night-light that appeals to my grown-adult sensibilities. This sleek, minimalist option has the perfect amber glow for mood lighting (and also comes in red for a bit more drama). Promising review: "I love these! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I tried it out in my bathroom, and I love the color these give off... Can’t wait to use these in my new place! They are smaller than I was thinking, but it’s not a bad thing. I actually like how compact and portable they are." —Jenna Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (also available in red). Promising review: "My wife and I have been using this for a few months and really like it. It's the perfect size for two brushes and one tube of paste. The base color matches our walls, and it's easy to wipe clean when needed." —CRC Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors). Promising review: "Ooooh, myyyy gooodnesss! It is wonderful. My baths, which I have always loved, are now a true spa time complete with: facial, full-body skin care, music or audio book, a magazine or book, and refreshments (fresh cherries & a favorite drink). I appreciate the security of the tray to hold my iPhone/electronics, eye glasses, and hand mirror. The caddy is the bomb: relaxing, fulfilling, and joyful. I look forward daily to a long soak. I may buy an iPad to kick it up a notch. What fun! I covered the soap holder and the two inner compartments with foil to make cleaning a jiffy. The wood and design are attractive and functional. A tub/spa pillow is a must and inexpensive but not included with this item. I already had my pillow, which I bought from Amazon. :)" —Beje Get it from Amazon for $24.97+ (available in seven colors/finishes). Promising review: "The Luxe Bidet Neo 120 has soured me on pooping in bidet-less toilets forever. It's shown me the difference between rubbing peanut butter out of shag carpeting with a paper towel, and that sparkling clean feeling you get right when you step out of the shower." —Mercury Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in four colors). Promising review: "Really attractive little trashcan. Its best feature? The lid keeps our naughty dog from foraging through the bathroom trash and bringing us his favorite finds as gifts while we sit on the couch. With guests." —Alison W. Get it from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in three sizes and seven colors). Promising review: "I was a little hesitant to purchase at first because of the hefty price for a tiny drawer. I’m so glad I did! I have this awkward space between my vanity and soaking tub; this thing fits perfectly, and I can store toilet paper, Clorox disposable wands, wipes, etc. It’s very well constructed and easy to slide in/out. Very solid, thoughtful, and stylish construction." —imissdumbo Get it from Amazon for $195 (available in black and white). Promising reviews: "The Dorai large bathroom tiles absorb ALL of the water that splashes or flows outside of the shower bases! And they look amazing doing the job! Worth the price and helped us avoid retiling of our new bathroom." —L.T. "I was skeptical at first, but after using this mat for about three weeks now, I am livin’ for it!! It dries super fast as advertised, and I don’t even have to wipe my feet against the stone as it will automatically dry my feet for me." —G.F. Get it from Dorai for $165 (originally $195; available in two styles and three colors). Promising reviews: "This is a very good speaker. I use it for audiobooks and podcasts when I am in the shower/bathroom. The sound is much better than some of the other small speakers/large waterproof speakers. The podcast mode is very handy and makes a huge difference. It's easy to use and connects with the phones instantly." —me "For what this little thing costs, the output range is like having my $4,000 Revel speakers in the shower with me. Unbelievable and unbeatable sound and quality of loudness. Especially in an acoustic environment like a shower, it ends up feeling like I’m listening to Billy Joel in a symphony hall." —BrahmsyLove Get it from Amazon for $51.44+ (available in four colors). Promising review: "Love this little thing! It’s very sturdy and, for extra sturdiness, has holes on top to secure it to the door. Really adds a beautiful touch of mid-century modern type of design. (Installing it also helped me to discover a huge gap around my door, lol)." —Stephanie Promising review: "Really nice and cute. Super easy to put together. Cupboard doors open and close nicely. Honestly, it looks better than I thought it would, and I’d order another one for my other bathrooms if I didn’t already have a different one." —ErikaH Get it from Amazon for $125.99+ (available in four colors) Promising review: "It was the perfect fit for our shower. We decided we didn’t want to drill holes in our travertine tile, so we got indoor/outdoor 3M tape. It worked perfectly!" —Anonymous reviewer Promising review: "My medicine cabinet looks so neat with these organizers! The quality of plastic is good; the compartment size is convenient. I bought a few different sizes and found use for all of them. Highly recommended." —ZK Promising review: "I research extensively prior to purchasing a product. This hammered copper metal outlet cover is a classic design that is very well made and includes a screw with a head that matches the copper perfectly. The cover fit over the existing outlet without issue. We have been using this product along with the matching switch plate for two years in our primary bathroom. They have both held up well. I am still very pleased with my purchase. I highly recommend this product." —Gigi Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in five materials, one-gang or two-gang, and three pack sizes). Promising review: "I love how easy this shade was to install, and it works perfectly in my room for softer lighting. It’s also something that shows my personality a lot more!" —Alexandra X. Get it from Tulip for $149+ (available in eight styles). Promising review: "I absolutely love this set! I purchased two, and each set was well worth the price. The packaging was very elegant and gave me a very luxurious feel. I am very pleased with the quality of the set. The added tags for cotton balls/swabs and lotion/soap were also great! Would definitely recommend!" —Ravynn Lenise Hughes Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in six colors). Promising review: "How is this just coming into my life now? I didn't think showers could get any better, but now I have a brew/wine within reach at all times. It really helps take the edge off after a long day. The thing is way sturdier than you'd expect; I've tugged on it, and it's not going anywhere. The slotted design allows you to use stemmed wine glasses, too. A truly perfect product. This piece of plastic is working as hard as my therapist and I." —Steven Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in six styles). Promising review: "Great speaker for privacy in the bathroom. Has many white noise [settings] to choose from, although I think the running water setting is most useful for masking sounds on the toilet." —TROY KOZZA * You've Got A Lovely Home, But What If It Were...Lovelier?
