We use bathrooms every day but rarely do we give them much attention when it comes to decor. They often turn into places of practicality but not of relaxation, beauty, or luxury. Bathroom counter decor can make a huge difference in the look and feel of your bathroom, turning it from from a drab, overlooked space to a stylish sanctuary. Here are some gorgeous (and practical) ideas to help you transform your bathroom counter decor!

1. Create a focal point
Using a focal point in your bathroom counter decor makes everything feel more coordinated. You can use a vase of florals or greenery, candles, or even a jewelry box or tray to pull focus. Just make sure all other elements coordinate (not compete) with your focal point!
2. Add shell catchalls to keep your jewelry
Shells lend an organic and feminine touch to your bathroom. We love using them as catchalls for jewelry, but you can also find candles in shells or simply just display them to bring an oceanic flair to your bathroom counter decor.
3. Try a soap and lotion pedestal
Using a tray or pedestal for your soap and hand lotion makes the whole counter look more put together. There are options made out of all sorts of materials, from wood to marble to ceramic, so you’re sure to find one that suits your aesthetic.
4. Use a marble counter tray to house items
Use a chic marble tray to corral your belongings to make your bathroom counter decor more stylish than ever. Gathering items onto a tray makes everything feel neater and more organized, particularly if the colors coordinate!
5. Add a toilet tray
Add a glamorous tray to your toilet to make the most of a small bathroom, just make sure the lid to your toilet is flat to avoid any slipping or sliding. We also recommend using a tray with a lip to help avoid anything falling off if the toilet gets bumped.
6. Reuse chic candle containers
We all love candles, but their containers are half the fun and it’s always a shame to throw them out. Well, the good news is that you don’t have to! Use your favorite candle containers for your bathroom counter decor to add some personality and hold things like lipliners, brushes, or cotton swabs.
7. Add plants for an organic touch
Many bathrooms feel stark and harsh because of all hard materials and sharp edges. If you have enough light, a plant does wonders to make your bathroom feel more luxurious and welcoming.
8. Use glass canisters
A simple hack to improving your bathroom counter decor is to upgrade your containers. We love the simplicity of these glass canisters, but you can use anything that suits your style.
9. Display your cosmetics
If you’re proud of your collection of cosmetics and skin care, why not display them in a beautiful tray? The tray helps makes everything look curated and organized. Just be careful of storing your perfumes this way as consistent light exposure will cause them to degrade faster.
10. Use a unique soap dish
Life is so boring when everyone has the same stuff and the same style. Find ways to integrate things to your taste and fit your unique style, even if it’s as simple as a seashell soap dish. When everything comes together the look will be undeniably you.
11. Add marble accents for a luxe feel
Using marble throughout your bathroom counter decor will give it a clean, luxurious feel, especially when the colors coordinate. One of our favorite ways to source marble elements like these is through eBay your local thrift stores.
12. Wood elements soften hard edges
If you’re looking to warm up your bathroom counter decor, wood is a perfect option. It naturally feels softer than stone, metal, or glass and is often more affordable!
13. Use flowers to brighten the space
Flowers brighten up any space they’re in, but they do wonders for bathrooms. They can be your focal point or play a background role, depending on the variety and arrangement. Either way, they are a breath of fresh air in a room that’s often overlooked and under decorated.
14. Layer neutrals
A foolproof way to step up your bathroom counter decor is to layer neutrals. When doing this it’s best to ensure you are using a variety of sizes and textures to make sure the look doesn’t end up boring.
15. Add art
Adding artwork is a wonderful way to add some character to your bathroom counter decor if you have the room. If you do try this, make sure it’s framed to limit any issues with humidity damaging the art over time.
