Promising review: "I used this wallpaper to give a small area a quick makeover, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. The floral pattern has a nice vintage look without being too busy, and the colors are really pretty in person. It was easy to peel and stick, and I was able to reposition it a little while getting the edges lined up. The texture also makes it look more like real wallpaper instead of a cheap sticker. Great option for cabinets, a bathroom, or an accent wall when you want to change things up without a permanent commitment." —Jay Dee

I especially love the brass finish — it adds a warm, elegant touch and looks much more expensive than I expected.They're doing exactly what I needed them to do while also enhancing the look of the space. It's always nice when a product delivers both function and style. I couldn't ask for more, and I'm very happy with this purchase." —Wiliam C

Promising review: "I absolutely love this soap for fall! It captures the essence of the season with a delightful scent that lingers pleasantly on your hands after washing. What I appreciate most is how moisturizing it is — my hands never feel dry, just soft and silky. I keep one by the kitchen sink and others in the bathrooms, and I even carry a little in a travel-sized bottle when I’m on the road for work. If you’re a fall lover looking for a soap that not only smells amazing but also cares for your skin, this is the one to try!" —Kathy

It looks like wooden bowl sinks. Love them." —Ambika

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "OMG. 😳 This little speaker is POWERFUL!!! I’m about to purchase at least two more. So tiny and discrete. I love it in my bathroom in the mornings or evenings when I’m getting dressed or winding down. I put it in my kitchen for those long cooking days, and I plan to get one for my office! This is one of the BEST purchases I’ve made in a long time! Completely worth it!" —camismom

Read more about constipation relief at home, including using a squatting position, at the Cleveland Clinic. 

Promising review: "This Squatty Potty has completely changed my bathroom routine for the better! The design is simple yet highly effective, helping me achieve a natural squatting position that makes bowel movements much easier and more comfortable. The sturdiness is impressive — it feels solid under my feet, with no wobbling or sliding. I also love the ease of use; it tucks neatly under the toilet when not in use but pulls out quickly when needed. The size is perfect —large enough to provide a stable platform, yet compact enough to fit in most bathrooms without feeling intrusive. Overall, it’s a practical, well-made product that actually works, and I’ve noticed a real improvement in my digestive comfort since using it. Highly recommend for anyone looking to upgrade their bathroom routine!" —Maleeha

Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (also available with wipes).

Get it from Amazon for $5.99.

20. A rechargeable lamp to provide ambience during your next bath. This can be used indoors or out, is water-resistant, and and turns on and off with a simple touch. Some reviewers love putting these in the shower for a spa-like experience.

www.amazon.com

I have little lamps similar to this all over my house, and they are incredible. I love that I can move them around to get better lighting when I'm crafting, doing puzzles, or playing mahjong. I even take them out on the deck for a little lighting when dining al fresco. They're way handier than I ever could've imagined! 

Just make sure they're never submerged in water or close to tipping into the tub, because they're not waterproof. 

Promising reviews: "This is one of my new favorite items. I have two at home and bought some for gifts. There’s no assembly, it comes ready to charge and use. It’s sturdy with a good base and the top isn’t heavy so it won’t fall over. The light is perfect for our front porch when we want to sit outside at night but not use the big overhead light. I also use it in our bathroom to create a more relaxing mood when showering or relaxing in the bath. The light is much more soothing than the overhead light." —Jennifer Fistilla

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes and five colors).

21. A roll of marble-print contact paper for covering up less-than-pretty countertops in an afternoon! No need to do demo on your vanity. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This contact paper was great for upgrading my bathroom sink. I needed a modern look for my bathroom and this was just that. After reading the instructions, it was easy to apply. For the shape of my sink it was a bit tedious but overall it was a good turnout. My guests think I replaced my sink but I told them that it was contact paper. Its print quality looks great. I have dyed red hair and I have able to easily wipe it off without it staining. The texture is smooth and I really like it. This was a great investment and much cheaper than replacing my sink." —Cheevon Burtt

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (clip the coupon on the product page to get it for $6.79+; available in 13 sizes and four styles).

22. A bathtub tray to immediately upgrade your bathroom and make you feel like you're about to take a bubble bath in a 5-star spa.

www.amazon.com

Psst! The sides extend! This means it can definitely fit your bathtub!

Promising review: "This may be one of the best self-indulgent purchases I have ever made. I use it almost every day. it dries off beautifully, and while I'm sure in time all the steam will affect it, it still looks great. It's very sturdy, and I am quite happy having my little iPad in position so I can read. An excellent luxury purchase. Also, the fact that it's extendable makes a huge difference. I can use it on my super wide Jacuzzi tub without a problem." —Ruthanne Reid

Get it from Amazon for $32.97+ (available in seven colors).

23. A sheet of stick-on tile backsplash for sprucing up your bathroom, even if you're a renter. No, really! It's as easy as peeling and sticking!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Each tile is 12 square inches. 

Promising review: "We were looking to find a peel and stick tile to add to our bathroom update. We bought a vanity that did not have a backsplash, so we needed something to help protect our walls. We had tried something previous, but it ripped the paint off our walls. This peel and stick was thicker and didn't damage our walls when we needed to adjust a sheet. I do recommend taking your time and ensuring you are making everything level. Thankfully this item has think foam and can catch a level easily. I did this in a day by myself. Would buy it again!" —Ashley Zdelar

Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ for 10 sheets (clip the coupon on the product page to get it for $30.99+; available in 15 colors).

24. A rainfall showerhead because the showerhead that came with your apartment just isn't cutting it anymore. You deserve a luxurious shower. I mean, we all do, but especially you.

www.amazon.com

This fancy baddie has an extendable, adjustable arm!

Promising review: "Amazing showerhead! Took like less than 10 minutes to put it together. I never knew a shower head like this could make such a difference when showering! The most amazing shower you can take all because of this showerhead! Like WOW!! super extremely happy!" —Veronica

Get it from Amazon for $35.61+ (available in two finishes). 

25. A stylish, over-the-toilet etagere shelf to sit above your royal throne and show off the palace collection of towels, candles, and other amenities.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I really love this over-the-toilet cabinet. It’s a great way to maximize vertical space in the bathroom without taking up extra floor space. The arched design gives it a modern and elegant look, while the doors help keep bathroom essentials organized and out of sight." —Katy Ruiz

Get it from Amazon for $139.99 (available in four colors).

26. A bathtub caddy that'll keep your favorite candle and soap within arm's reach while you unwind at the end of a long day. Stay submerged in your cozy cocoon and have everything you need nearby. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Excellent for rounded edge, newly manufactured clawfoot tubs. I would not recommend this for square-edged tubs or shallow tubs, as it will likely need to be manipulated in ways (as mentioned in other reviews) to try to make it work. I have had no issues with durability or stability, and it supports a good amount of stuff. It was easy to assemble and looks great in the matte black, which matches the feet and plumbing of my tub." —Katwmn

Get it from Amazon for $16.83.

27. A towel warmer with wooden accents to heat up your towels while you rinse off. Now stepping out of the shower won't be such a chilly pain! It heats up in minutes and can hold two items, like two towels or a robe-and-towel combo.

Promising review: "The Kenray Bucket Towel Warmer is a true daily luxury. There’s nothing quite like stepping out of a shower into the embrace of a toasted, spa-quality towel. Its spacious design easily fits oversize sheets or blankets, ensuring uniform heat without cold spots. The 60-minute auto-shutoff provides essential peace of mind for busy mornings, while the simple interface makes it effortless to use. It’s an affordable, game-changing upgrade for any bathroom routine." —Happy Camper and Boater
