IKEA bathroom decor is often overlooked – but there are some truly chic and stylish pieces on offer that will instantly elevate your scheme. And when better to update your decor than the start of a new year?
When your bathroom ideas begin to feel tired or boring, it can be tricky to know how to refresh them without making expensive changes. But thoughtful decor pieces might just be the solution – and IKEA's accessible ranges are the perfect place to start.
From functional pieces made aesthetic to small decor that gives any space a much-needed face lift, these are the 9 IKEA bathroom decor pieces worth buying.
9 must-have IKEA bathroom decor pieces
No bathroom should ever be left without decorative accessories, but there's no denying it's a more difficult room to embellish. In cozier rooms like the bedroom or living room, lamps, cushions, throws, and decorative objects become the styling pieces, but in the bathroom, such decor doesn't quite fit.
But bathrooms have their own unique appeal – and the best way to accessorize your scheme is to make functional items feel like decor. From soap dispensers and towels to mirrors and shelving, these sometimes mundane pieces can work harder and become the decorative elements your bathroom is missing.
These are the 9 pieces IKEA has on offer that can look stylish, visually interesting, and instantly elevate your bathroom design.
One of the easiest ways to upgrade your bathroom decor is to swap out plastic packaging with refillable containers. This soap dispenser is made from clear glass with a subtle ribbed design and gold hardware. It's simple, timeless, and adds a touch of elegance to your bathroom decor.
The bathroom is one of those rooms where making the functional double-up as decor is a must. Hand towels in pretty colors with loads of texture are a must. We love this green design that embraces a more earthy color palette, which also comes in a gray/brown colorway.
If your bathroom is on the smaller side, storage is probably lacking. But a cluttered sink or vanity is never the answer – which is why this stylish suction cup shelf is the perfect addition to your space. Adding a pop of color and organization, it's functional and aesthetic.
Every room in the home can benefit from soft furnishings, and the bathroom is no exception. A bath mat adds warmth, comfort, and a pop of color – it's kind of the perfect accessory. IKEA offers a range of options in various colors, but this design (offered in 5 shades) is its best-seller.
No bathroom is quite complete with the best scented candles – and IKEA has some new contenders. This delightful vanilla scent is perfect for your bathroom, with a glass jar decorated in a neutral abstract pattern. It's decorative and caters to your senses – a cozy bathroom accessory.
Every fancy hotel has one or two of these mirrors in the bathrooms. Another great option to keep bathroom countertops clutter-free, this moveable wall mirror not only looks sophisticated, but it makes getting ready and unready so much easier – and more enjoyable.
Where space permits, introducing a vase to your bathroom is a lovely choice. It adds height, texture, and color to your scheme, even when left empty – but filled with seasonal blooms, it's a gorgeous way to decorate. This brown ceramic vase adds warmth and timeless appeal to a bathroom.
Inspired by vintage trends, hand mirrors are a stylish, elegant thing to have in your bathroom. While they are practical pieces, they're more so favored as decorative pieces. This charming design is made from curvaceous wood and covered in rattan – an utterly chic choice.
It's not easy to bring patterns into your bathroom without making major changes, so look to your bath linens to bring in that visual interest. These hand towels are neutral in color, but their pattern and texture surely pack a punch. Plus, they can be hung aesthetically on hooks.
IKEA bathroom decor is stylish, functional, and totally affordable. Whether you bring in a vase and a scented candle for a relaxing bathroom or opt to make your more practical pieces more aesthetic, IKEA has something for every design.
