Alma Frames Medium Shimmy MirrorAnthropologieAt nearly 45cm tall and five colours – including maize, sky (pictured), wine and olive – this mirror is a great way to bring colour into a bathroom or disrupt a very calming and neutral bedroom.
Mabel ceramic indoor/outdoor TableAnthropologieSensible fashion people will tell you to never buy a new item of clothing unless you can think of three outfits you can make with it. It's always worth applying the same thought to furniture to make sure you'll get good use out of it. This pretty ceramic table is billed as indoor/outdoor. But it will also liven up a sitting room, or work as a matching pair of bedside tables. It would be brilliant in a bathroom to rest a glass of wine by the bath or even stand the soap on in a large shower. Turns out this is so useful it should practically be mandatory.
Baby Roddy wall lightpookyIf you're renovating your bathroom, then do think of adding side lights by your basin mirror. This is where you start and end your day – and you want to look your best. Side light is much more flattering than overhead, so give yourself an instant mood-boost with these bathroom-rated (IP44) lights.
Barlow Glass soap dishSoho HomeNow that we’re all moving towards soap and shampoo bars we need to up our soap dish game as well. This is a lovely one, made from ribbed coloured glass, and has a vintage 70s feel to it. There's a matching toothbrush holder should you so wish – but I fancy one of these for the downstairs loo.
Round Roddy ip44 flush ceiling lightpookyPerfect for those with low ceilings who don’t want the infamous (and ubiquitous) downlights. This is IP44 rated, which means you can put it in the bathroom and those other forgotten places where pendant lights can be tricky – halls, stairs and landings. It’s a bit Deco inspired but that doesn’t mean you couldn’t put it in any period or place.
Wall-mounted ladder drying rackNot On The High StreetI have a rather unattractive metal drying rack fixed to the shelf between my boiler and washing machine and it’s completely invaluable. It’s used not only for drying things in winter, but for keeping damp tea towels out of the way and can even be pulled out and used as a shelf for clean folded laundry to sit on. This version looks far nicer than mine. It comes in two sizes and a choice of natural wood or white painted. And if you’re trying not to use your tumble dryer as much then you need one of these.
Handmade Tangerine Orange Formica Wall Clock from RoyaleEtsyI admit to being slightly obsessed with clocks and nowhere more so than in the bathroom where time, particularly in the morning, is of the essence and you might not wear your watch in the shower. This retro design will brighten up the dullest or mornings.
