Bathroom

Mabel Table Anthropologie

Sensible fashion people will tell you to never buy a new item of clothing unless you can think of three outfits you can make with it. Always worth applying the same thought to furniture to make sure you will get good use out of it. This pretty ceramic table is billed as indoor outdoor. But it will also liven up a sitting room, or work as a matching pair of bedside tables. It would also work brilliantly in a bathroom to rest a glass of wine by the bath or even stand the soap in a large shower. Turns out this is so useful it should practically be mandatory.
Banana Leaf Laundry Baskets House of Flora

Set of two laundry baskets handwoven from banana leaf. For some inexplicable reason I am always searching for the perfect laundry basket. This might be it. Round with lids and also the tallest one is 56cm high which is good. In the same way I like a small kitchen bin so I am forced to empty it daily, a small laundry basket helps prevent mountains. Especially if each person has one in their bedroom. Can, of course, be used for magazines and throws in the sitting room.
Black and White Striped Storage Basket Rockett St George

When you run out of floor and drawer space it's time to start using the walls and these bags from Rockett St George are perfect. Use them in the bathroom or perhaps by your dressing table/make-up shelf for cotton wool, hair brushes etc. The large one is 30cm x 30cm so will take a hairdryer or some kids' toys and both come with a wipeable canvas-like material inside. And there is a shorter, fatter one that doesn't hang but is 40cm wide. The hook, by the way is the Diving Man, which comes in black and brass.
Stainless Steel Toothbrush with replaceable bamboo heads Wearth London

I have just bought one of these. The handle is pleasingly heavy (naturally bacterial and will never deteriorate) and the bristles (I have soft) perfect. It comes with one head and I bought a second for £3.50 but you can also subscribe to receive regular replacements which I will do.
Horizon round mirror with shelf Nordic Nest

In small bathrooms (actually any bathroom) furniture has to work hard to earn its keep. This mirror will save on storage with its built-in shelf thereby killing two birds with one stone - even small wooden ones.
Wall Storage Basket H&M

It is a truth universally acknowledged that when you run out of floor you need to use the walls and nowhere more so than when it comes to storage. These handmade baskets will hang on the wall and store/hide loo roll, small towels, spare toothpaste and handcream - all that stuff that bathrooms accumulate and which take up more space than you ever planned for when you moved in or designed the room. Not just for bathrooms clearly - good for kids' clothes and office paraphernalia too.
AYTM Unity Large Half Circle Tray Amara

Trays are one of the most useful things you can own - they are great for styling; grouping items on tables - as well as useful. I have them in both my bathroom and on my desk as well as in the kitchen. Combine beauty and usefulness with these geometric shaped trays - half circles, quarter circles - in varying sizes to make storage pretty as well as practical. The colours are gorgeous too.
Collective Noun Matchboxes Polkra

If I have learnt anything during lockdown it is the relaxing power of a really good scented candle - and if you know that you know you need something to light them with. As a catastrophist who burns myself on the oven all the time, I like my matches long to better keep a distance.
Hotel Magique Tresors Trinket Dish Anthropologie

Bring a splash of colour to the bathroom with this little dish that will hold rings, earrings or whatever you need to park overnight. Would also work on a dressing table or even in the kitchen holding a few olives.
Harmony Bath Runner Anthropologie

The bathroom is one of the last rooms in the house which has remained resistant to pattern, but with the current desire to make them look like rooms in which you bathe (goodbye hard surfaces and sleek storage and hello pattern and texture) adding a vibrant bath mat is an affordable and practical way to start
