The bathroom is one of the most important rooms in a home.
It’s a room we visit multiple times a day, it’s a room that keeps us healthy – should good hygiene habits be followed, and the bathroom is a veritable golden goose when it comes to home value.
Indeed, it’s estimated that every $1 spent in a bathroom revamp, could return as much as $6 – or more – to a property’s overall value.
Now, don’t worry if a bathroom renovation isn’t on the cards just yet.
Smart and stylish accessories can add almost as much value as a full rebuild, because they play a crucial role in enhancing organisation and style. If chosen correctly they can even help make a daily routine more efficient.
In this blog post, we’ll run you through the best bathroom accessories; from the non-negotiables like towel rails and toilet roll holders, to items that will improve your life such as Squeegees and bathroom shelves. By the end, you will learn how to upgrade your bathroom for minimum cost with maximum reward, and won’t be left asking, “what bathroom accessories do I need?
Robe Hooks – The Versatile Accessory
Let’s be honest, nobody likes clutter in a home – least of all in the bathroom, a room prone to getting wet.
Enter the robe hook. This versatile wall or door fixture is designed to hang items off.
Note, how we said items.
Don’t be fooled by this accessory’s name, these hooks aren’t reserved solely for bathrobes. You can hang any form of clothing or accessories here; for instance, if you often forget to take jewellery off until the last minute, a robe hook saves the day.
This creative design element comes in a variety of shapes and styles and can add stacks of character to a bathroom.
This is highlighted by the three options below:
- Mica Fluted: The thick fluted structural design is full of charm.
- Mica Double Hook: The dual prongs here are innovative and practical, recalling the branches of a tree.
- Milos Chrome: The curving lines of the Milos create a sleek architectural feel.

Squeegees – Keeping It Spotless
Keeping the bathroom clean is one of those tasks in life that instils dread and encourages procrastination.
To put the joy back into cleaning we created a squeegee that looks like a design feature in its own right.
This tool is designed to quickly and easily wipe water and soap off surfaces and will keep shower screens and mirrors streak-free. If used routinely it will eliminate the elbow grease needed in deeper cleans.
We have a variety of finishes available, three of our favourites are below:
- Mica Chrome: Creates an elegant, classic look.
- Mica Dusk Bronze: The antique feel is perfect for those who want to add character.
- Mica French Gold: A flawless option for those who want to create a touch of luxury.

Toilet Roll Holders – Style Meets Utility
Bathrooms are used just as much for our daily cleaning, as they are for our daily functions. So there is always a need to keep your toilet paper and toilet area neat and organised.
You have the option of going with either a free-standing toilet roll holder, or for something more tucked away, a wall-mounted holder is a great option.
Our preference skews towards the latter, as it ensures the essentials are always within convenient reach.
Need some inspiration?
- Mica: Elegant, fluted detailing means this holder is anything but boring.
- Chunky: A bold, durable option with a modern, solid look.
- Milos: This contemporary design will suit most bathrooms.

Towel Rails – Practical and Sleek
Towel rails are a stylish bathroom addition that adds a wealth of character, while ensuring towels are stored neatly and hygienically.
The design of towel rails is more straightforward, when compared to ladders, as they involve horizontal bars. The clean wide lines add a modern touch to a room.
At Bella Vista, we have three recommendations to cover every bathroom type and size:
- Mica Single Rail: The intricate fluted detailing gives a simple nod to all things art-deco.
- Chunky Double Rail: A sturdy, practical option offering extra towel space with a robust, contemporary look.
- Supra Single: Adds a touch of modern drama to a bathroom.

Soap Dispensers – A Clean and Stylish Essential
A soap dispenser may seem like a small detail, but in a well-designed bathroom, the little things make all the difference. Ditch the clutter of plastic bottles and opt for a sleek built-in dispenser for a more refined and practical solution at your sink.
The Mica Invisible Soap Dispenser is designed to sit flush against surfaces, offering a streamlined look while keeping handwash or dish soap neatly stored. Its stainless steel pump ensures long-term durability, making it a practical and stylish addition to any vanity or kitchen sink.
What are the best bathroom accessories?
When designing your ultimate bathroom there are some accessories you just can’t live without.
These include:
- Towel rail
- Hand towel holder
- Toilet roll holder
- Robe hooks
- Bath mat
- Toothbrush holder
Our biggest tip is to choose accessories that are durable AND stylish. This will ensure your makeover won’t date, and help you clean your items more efficiently.
Steer clear of any accessory made from untreated wood as they are prone to mould growth and will have a short shelf life.
At Bella Vista we care about the long term. That’s why our products are made from superior, quality materials. They have a long life, which is better for the future of our planet, and for the value of your home.
