These Styling Tricks Make Your Bathroom the Most Instagrammable Spot in Your House

Apr 22 2022 - 10:30am

Interiors Instagram is a wild place. Depending on who you follow, it's easy to believe that "everyone" is #blessed with a sprawling estate and limitless decor budget — but can we get real for a minute? You really, truly don't need to be a gazillionaire to have a beautiful home. Case in point: the bathroom. This is one room that's often overlooked as an opportunity to flex your style, and you don't need to undergo an expensive renovation to make your WC the GOAT.

You'd be surprised how much a few styling tricks can transform a bathroom. All you need is a vision for the space (and sparkling-clean surfaces — you've gotta tidy up before snapping photos). A few quick bathroom styling hacks: the toilet seat should always, always, always be down for photos. Bright colors capture attention on Instagram, but neutral-hued textiles also pop when they have visible texture. You can make towels look thicker and fluffier by inserting a rolled-up magazine to puff things up. Essential supplies like cotton swabs look pleasing when arranged in glass storage. Fresh flowers and hanging houseplants, a stylish showerhead, and framed art elevate the look of any bathroom. And as always, less is more — so tuck your toothpaste tube away.

Ready for more bathroom styling ideas so you can become an Instagram bathroomfluencer? (It's a word — we're calling it.) Read on for tips, along with shopping ideas to take your space to the next level.

Haven Acacia Wood Tub Tray

Styling your tub is easy with this Haven Acacia Wood Tub Tray [1] ($32). Adorn it with a vase filled with fresh flowers, the book you're reading, and a scented candle. Suddenly, you've got a spa-like environment that conveys serenity. Your call on whether to pose in a bubble bath, though.

Everhome Cabana Stripe Beach Towel

Why bring a beach towel into your bathroom? Well, in the case of this Everhome Cabana Stripe Beach Towel [2] ($25), its thickness looks substantial when stacked on a shelf. Plus, when displayed on a wall hook, the classic stripes stand out just enough to make people pause from scrolling.

Everhome Small Traditional Glass Apothecary Canister

Cotton swabs, bath salts, and hair ties typically don't look cute in their own packaging. Transfer them into the Everhome Small Traditional Glass Apothecary Canister [3] ($20), though, and suddenly your bathroom looks timeless and luxurious. No need to label these with stickers, by the way — keep the canisters unadorned for a more high-end look.

iHome 10x/1x Beauty Vanity Mirror and Stereo Speaker

If your concern is less about how your bathroom looks and more about how you look in it, this iHome 10x/1x Beauty Vanity Mirror and Stereo Speaker [4] ($240) is for you. Not only does it play music and have a mini magnifying mirror, it also casts a flattering glow — so your next Reel or TikTok will have on-point lighting.

Vanity Planet Outlines Facial Steamer

Here's a mystery for the ages: why do so many beauty devices have clunky design? Not that you'll be pondering it with this Vanity Planet Outlines Facial Steamer [5] ($43, originally $50). Its sleek silhouette and rose-gold detailing look like a hybrid of high tech and jewelry, so you won't feel the need to hide it away in your photographs.

Hai 4-Spray Bluetooth-Enabled Handheld Showerhead

Speaking of high tech, this Hai 4-Spray Bluetooth-Enabled Handheld Showerhead [6] ($250) is smarter than the average bathroom fixture. Available in a variety of neutral and statement colors, it's equipped with LED lights that signify when your water reaches the proper shower temperature. It also happens to look really fresh. Extra aesthetic points if you hang a bundle of dried eucalyptus from it.

Studio 3B Waffle Bath Towel

Serene, white-on-white bathrooms are beautiful, sure. But for a cheerful statement, go with a set of Studio 3B Waffle Bath Towels [7] ($16) in ochre. The saturated hue updates any bathroom, pops on a screen, and makes you feel happy.

Haven Pebble 21" x 34" Bath Rug

No judgments, but if your current bath rug is looking worn, it may be time for a replacement. This Haven Pebble 21" x 34" Bath Rug [8] ($22) is a great choice — not just because it photographs well among other neutral colors, but because its chunky cotton nubs just feel good underfoot.

Squared Away Large Storage Bin With Bamboo Lid

Everyone has random items — hair ties, eyeliners, nail clippers — that don't need to be on display. Place them in a Squared Away Large Storage Bin With Bamboo Lid [9] ($11), though, and boom — are you some new organizing influencer or something?
