Upgrades We’d Make to Any Bathroom

This elegant, three-spray showerhead offered the fullest, most powerful rainshower spray of any model we tested, with huge, soft drops that felt gentle on skin.

At just 1.5 gpm, this exceptionally low-flow showerhead has one of the fullest sprays of any model we tested—but there’s only one (strong) setting, which may feel overwhelming.

This efficient and versatile showerhead has six distinct settings. And it offers both a rain-shower and a handheld head, providing every possible experience you could want.

This shower curtain will fit in with any neutral, white-forward bathroom. It’s affordable, machine-washable, reinforced with metal grommets, and made from a durable cotton/polyester waffle weave.

This washable polyester shower liner works as well as liners twice the price. It won’t attract soap scum like a dime-store plastic liner, and it can also double as a shower curtain.

This woven cotton rug absorbs and dries quickly. Its latex nonslip backing is the best we found, and it’s backed by a lifetime guarantee.

With a sleek look, nice finish, sturdy feel, and good price, this model was the best wood mat we found. Just don’t expect it to absorb water.

This towel-like mat isn’t as grippy (it doesn’t have a nonslip backing), but it’s easy to hang to dry between showering and will fit under a low-clearance door. It comes in lots of colors but is available in only one size.

Command hooks are a great temporary way to keep clutter off the floor without leaving holes in the wall. They’re also good for tile walls or inside the shower where you can’t drill.

This rack can mount onto a wall or behind a door, and it’s one of only a couple we found with tri hooks for maximizing storage and reducing wear and tear on clothing and gear.

This rack comes with five hooks and is a great way to take advantage of lost space on the back of a door.

This good-looking can's pedal and lid are durable and move smoothly. The liner design allows for clean removal of small trash bags or plastic grocery sacks.

With a smaller footprint and height than our top pick, the Semi-Round model contains odors well and fits standard grocery bags. It also performs better and offers more durability than other small cans we tested.

This shower caddy is easier than others to install and remove, has better stability, ample capacity, high-quality materials, and a durable design that’s backed by OXO’s guarantee.

More adjustable and versatile than the OXO, this Simplehuman product is a truly excellent shower caddy, although it costs a lot and is not quite as simple to install.

If you can’t use a traditional shower caddy, this tension rod fits into the corner and extends from 5 to 9 feet. Its easy, one-step extension beat out the others we tested.

This model offers a heated seat and a water stream that you can calibrate to your preferences better than on any other at this price. The C200 forgoes extraneous features you wouldn’t use anyway, and it comes with a remote.

This bidet doesn’t warm up water as quickly and has fewer options for the water stream, but it will make your bathroom experience better for an unbeatable price.

It doesn’t so much matter which toilet seat you get (as long as it fits your round or elongated bowl). The important thing is that you do get a new toilet seat—because who wants to share a seat with whatever strangers came before?

The Grundtal shelves are the only ones we found that are multifunctional for stacking or hanging towels but can also mount above a door frame.

These simple screw-mounted shelves have a slender profile that’s not too obtrusive to mount a few feet above a toilet, and they’re good for small bath items on display. For lots of options on shelves (and hooks), CB2 is tough to beat.

This is the best organizer we’ve found for holding toiletries of all sizes. Its narrower dimensions leave more room for storing other bulky items on a medicine cabinet shelf.

The best small organizer for minimalists, the magnetic MagnaPods stick to a medicine cabinet door and are great for holding makeup, tweezers, or tubes.

Even though these are kitchen-drawer organizers, we like their height and durability for bathroom drawers. This six-piece set is more durable than other organizers and comes in better sizes.

These organizers are made from thicker plastic but still shallow enough to fit in most drawers. They’re a better choice if you want to hand-select your containers for a perfect fit.
