1. A waffle-weave shower curtain that made my landlord-special bathroom look like I have opinions about thread counts. It's soft, subtly textured, and just warm enough in color to give my neutral-toned bathroom some personality without overwhelming it.

Target

Price: $15 (originally $30; available in seven colors)

2. A bath rug, because it's time to replace that scummy, old rag that you've been using to prevent any slip and falls with something that actually contributes positively to the vibe. This one gives your bathroom the “cozy living room” treatment without skimping on function. It’s got a vintage-y Persian pattern, nonskid backing, and it’s machine-washable — because yes, it’s chic, but it still lives next to your toilet.

Target

Promising review: "Beautiful bathroom rug, it really elevates any bathroom. I also really appreciate the gripping on the bottom, as a lot are slippery and a fall risk." —Mackin

Price: $25

3. A framed landscape print that'll make a trip to the dinghy loo feel like a serene getaway. The soft, dreamy colors and classic gold frame add a timeless elegance, making even the most rushed mornings feel a little more like a leisurely escape.

Target

Promising review: "I was skeptical of buying mass-produced art for my wall, but I needed something to fit a small space, and I was struggling to find something I liked. I saw this at Target and thought it would fit. I was drawn to the serene imagery and colors. I realized it was a reproduction of a Monet. The beauty of reproduced art is that you are bringing a piece of art into your home that you admire but can’t actually own! As soon as I put it up, it was perfect. The right colors, the frame was gorgeous and it balanced the original painting on the other wall. Highly recommend as it’s of better quality than you’d expect, and it brings a serenity and elegance to any space." —KKC

Price: $35

4. A surprisingly chic wastebasket that looks like it should be holding artisanal throw blankets instead of crumpled tissues. When I swapped out the old flip-lid eyesore from my last apartment for this beauty, I was honestly shocked (and a little embarrassed) to find that a trash bin could spark joy. But in my defense, it’s not just adorable!! The hidden plastic insert keeps the liner neatly in place and somehow holds way more than you'd expect.

Target

Promising review: "I absolutely love this woven bathroom trash can — it’s stylish, practical, and a total game changer! I loved it so much that I bought three, one for each bathroom in my house. The woven design adds a touch of elegance and warmth to my space, blending seamlessly with my decor while still being functional. My favorite feature is the separate inside trash liner, which keeps the actual basket clean and protected from spills or messes. It makes emptying the trash so much easier and keeps everything hygienic. Plus, the lid is a must-have for bathroom trash cans. It keeps everything discreet and contained, which is especially important for smaller spaces." —E Hill

Price: $25

5. A foaming cleanser if you avoid cleaning the shower until it literally looks like something is growing in the crevices. This foamer clings to surfaces, so grime doesn’t stand a chance — just spray, let it sit for three minutes, and rinse. And if your shower needs some extra elbow grease, the foam stays put while you scrub.

Target

Promising review: "This foamer is great. It works well on the shower's grout, walls, and floor. I used it with the Clorox bathroom scrubber. The two combated mold and hard-water stains. Smells fresh. Washed off clean, not sticky." —HAIR COLOR EXPERT

Price: $7.69

6. A grow light stake, because nothing livens up a windowless bummer of a bathroom like a plant that's actually, well, alive. Sure, there are "low-light" plants, but without some full-spectrum light, they’re just surviving. Add this, and suddenly they’re thriving like they’re on a sunny windowsill. Hot tip from someone who has a much less attractive version in her bathroom: turn it on in the evenings, so you don't have to blind yourself with the overhead during your middle-of-the-night bathroom runs.

Target

Promising review: "I love this lamp! It’s the perfect size and the top tilts. I used it right away and my plant is extremely happy with it." —Kayla H

Price: $29.99 (available in two colors)

7. Or a pair of café curtains if you do have a window, but the alleyway it looks out into isn't exactly picturesque. With the French rustic pattern and frilly rod pocket, they're basically a dainty lil' skirt that lets just enough light in while giving you the privacy you'll need for your next VIP-only shower concert.

Target

Price: $27.53+ (originally $41; available in two sizes)

8. A hand towel, because it looks like it belongs in a boutique hotel that serves cucumber water in the lobby rather than what seems to have become a sewer for those teenage ninja turtles you call children. With its raised, textured design and rich color, this towel is way fancier than it has any right to be at this price. Unlike the eight-year-old rag they've been using that somehow never gets their hands dry, this one's absorbent and pretty enough that they may actually consider folding it neatly. (I mean, probably not, but a gal can dream.)

Target

Promising review: "Good quality and hides stains from my kids' dirty hands if they don’t wash well enough. Nice design." —Ineedthisinkingsizeplease

Price: $10+ (also available in a two-pack)

9. A large drawer that turns your under-sink chaos into a beautifully organized little storage sanctuary. No more diving headfirst into a cabinet jungle of half-used sprays and tangled flat irons — this stackable drawer makes the most of that weird dead space and gives everything a proper home (pipes and all).

Target

Promising review: "The drawers, bins, and shelves in this collection are AWESOME! There are so many ways to use and configure them. I have tons of different pieces, and I'm very happy with all of them. They stack great, the drawers are slick, they take up whatever space you need them to, and make 100% of odd spaces useful. I got them on sale, but I'd pay retail for them. They're sturdy, high quality, and sooo useful." —TargetFreak

Price: $12.50 (originally $25; available in five colors; also available in a smaller size)

10. A 32-pack of toilet cleaner sheets, because leaving that crusty bottle of mystery gel cleaner next to the toilet isn't doing much for the vibe. These toilet bowl cleaner sheets come in a tidy little box, but you can always stow them in something prettier (like one of these wooden boxes) that you can leave right on top of the tank. They're so easy to use that you might actually use them often enough to prevent your toilet from turning into something that would be better suited to a haunted house.

Target

Promising review: "I divided each sheet to extend the number of uses I get out of them because it produces a good amount of suds and feel like I can get the bowl clean with less. I clean the toilet bowl more often because it is so much easier to use these sheets than the squirt bottles. I will not go back to throwing away thick plastic containers that leak when not opened correctly. Wonderful product." —SA88

Price: $3.99 (originally $5.99)

11. A glass soap dispenser, because that fancy matte ceramic one you splurged on never actually looks clean. It shows every water spot, soap scum streak, and fingerprint, no matter how often you scrub it down. Glass, on the other hand, isn’t porous, so grime sits right on top and wipes away easily. Plus, it’s see-through, so you’ll actually get some advance warning when it’s time to restock instead of scraping out the dregs and hoping your delivery shows up before you run completely dry.

Target

Promising review: "This dispenser gets used every day! Because it’s clear glass, it shows the color of the soap." —Eliz

Price: $15

12. A roll of removable wallpaper if you would take a sledgehammer to the whole space if it didn't mean sacrificing your security deposit. This wallpaper is wonderfully bold, which is just what you need to attract attention away from the dated vanity. Come to think of it, it'd look great with those olive green towels along with a terracotta planter.

Target

Price: $38.49

13. A brushed-brass toilet bowl brush, because we are all about turning eyesores into accent pieces. This one somehow makes cleaning the toilet feel... fancy? It’s the kind of upgrade that makes your bathroom feel pulled together — even if everything else is chaos.

Target

Promising review: "Weird thing to review, but it’s just one of those cheap upgrades that makes a big difference in the overall look of a bathroom." —S

Price: $25

14. A refillable wipes dispenser that's nice enough to keep right on your sink (which, let's be honest, is the only way you're going to clean it when it isn't visibly filthy). Just pull out one of the compostable wipes at the end of the night to give your sink a swipe, ensuring it's always free of toothpaste gunk and drips of foundation.

Target

Promising review: "Great color, and I love the magnetic snap of the lid. Wipes pull out easily. Chic-looking cleaning product that I don’t mind leaving on my counter." —lalaB

Price: $19.99 for the refillable container and $6.79 for a 60-pack of wipes

15. A bathroom stool to put next to your shower because, hear me out, having somewhere to leave your phone that isn't the ledge of the tub is probably for the best. Sure, it feels a little indulgent, but most bathrooms are weirdly unbalanced with the vanity and toilet on one side and nothing but a towel rack on the other. A small stool adds some much-needed symmetry and gives you a place to keep your speaker, bath salts, or whatever else you want within arm’s reach but out of the splash zone.

Target

Price: $79.99

16. A 12-pack of shower curtain hooks that slide like butter and make it so easy to take the curtain and liner on and off, you might actually wash them from time to time instead of just letting mold accumulate. Bonus points if you hang them on the matching curtain rod for a seamless look.

Target

Promising review: "A round of applause for the shower hooks that don't need to latch closed! 👏🏻 These brass hooks are both pretty and functional. The sheer convenience of the double-sided u-shape allows you to easily hang both a shower liner and curtain. When it comes time to wash or change them out, the fact that these hooks don't need to latch saves time and arm strain. 😅 Have not rusted yet! 🤞🏻" —bratoutofhell

Price: $9.50 and the rod for $20

17. A vanity mirror so stunning that when you ask it who's the fairest bathroom of them all, it’ll confidently say “yours.” Hand-forged and gilded in antique gold leaf, it looks like it was plucked straight out of an enchanted forest. The branch-and-bird sculptural frame is so romantic, it'll make even the most basic bathroom feel like a magical little hideaway.

Target

Price: $404.80

18. A spa-like room spray that smells like lemons, pears, and bergamot — aka, nothing like what just happened in there. It’s fresh, light, and actually chic enough to leave out in plain sight. The sleek bottle looks more like home decor than odor control, so you can keep it right on the toilet tank without wrecking your whole aesthetic.

Target

Promising review: "This smells amazing. I love to spray it in my bathroom when I am getting ready in the morning. Gives me the feeling of being in a high-end hotel. Well, minus the fact that I get to clean the bathroom myself. But at least it smells fabulous!" —CWatts

Price: $6.99

19. A farmhouse jug that gives your bathroom the easiest makeover ever — just switch up the botanicals when the vibe needs a refresh. Whether it’s moody fall branches, fresh spring florals, or a few sprigs of eucalyptus, this terracotta stunner brings cozy, lived-in charm that makes your space feel instantly more styled. Honestly, it even pulls its weight empty.

Target

Promising review: "I took a chance and ordered this vase online on a whim, and was hugely impressed when I went to pick it up. Heavy, beautifully tinted, and is clearly designed to go with everything. I thought the price was a steal, and I highly recommend buying it while you get the chance. I’d be surprised if any of these sat on the shelves." —HProst

Price: $19.99+ (available in two sizes)

20. A Rubbermaid grout scrubber that works just as well as that expensive electric toothbrush you panic-bought after a troubling trip to the dentist. Instead of plaque, it obliterates the centuries-old grime lurking in your grout lines (okay, maybe just years, but still). It spins 60 times per second, meaning you get powerful, consistent scrubbing without wearing out your arm. It’s basically a tiny miracle wand that reveals fresh, bright tile faster than you can say “I should’ve done this months ago.”

Target

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown is a fan of this: "I'm obsessed! This thing works small miracles: I cleaned about half of my bathroom's grout to its original sparkling-clean cream color in 40 minutes, and it took honestly no effort at all. And — as if easy, sparkling grout wasn't enough! — it busted through some serious soap-scum buildup in my bathtub (thanks, fancy soap and slow-draining tub) in less than a minute. Honestly, when I first tried the scrubber out, I didn't see too many uses for it other than for grout. But after owning it for a while, I've realized that while I don't need it every single week, it's priceless for the occasions I encounter tough gunk that I'd otherwise only conquer with excessive patience and elbow grease."
