Bathroom Styling Secrets That Make a Big Impact
Bathrooms can be tricky to style—especially when the space is small. With limited surfaces, it’s easy to go overboard or undersell the space. You want the bathroom to evoke calmness, luxury, and cleanliness—qualities that buyers respond to emotionally. At Sell In Style Property Styling, we’ve curated our top styling secrets to help you create a stunning bathroom setup that enhances the perceived value of your home.
What Elements Should You Include?
Bathroom styling typically leans minimal, but impactful. When done well, it brings a sense of spa-like serenity and elegance. Below are our go-to decor elements—we suggest grouping up to three per blank space where appropriate.
Elements & Accessories for Your Bathroom Styling:
- 1. Scented aesthetic candles
- 2. Mini fake plants for a pop of greenery
- 3. Stylish bar soaps, hand soaps or lotions
- 4. Soap dishes and toothbrush holders
- 5. Rolled face towels and folded hand towels
- 6. Small trinkets for visual interest
- 7. Mini bath brushes or loofas
- 8. Decorative jars of rose petals or bath salts
- 9. Small flower vases
- 10. Compact vanity mirrors
- 11. Textured bath mats
- 12. Bathroom trays to group items
- 13. Beautifully packaged perfumes
Consider pairing a luxury soap with a loofa and greenery, or candles with a vanity tray and hand towel. Thoughtful placement and balance will ensure the styling complements—not overwhelms—the bathroom space. This is especially important in real estate staging, where bathroom styling can influence buyer perception.
Remember: Less is More
Overcrowding your bathroom can have the opposite of the desired effect. Instead, let the size and features of the room guide your styling choices. Older bathrooms can benefit from more decorative elements to distract from dated finishes, while newer, sleek bathrooms shine best with a minimalist touch.

It Doesn’t Have to Be Expensive
Great bathroom styling doesn’t have to break the bank. Kmart, Target, and similar department stores have plenty of affordable mini decor pieces that look high-end when grouped with intention. Go shopping with a vision and keep practicality, proportion, and cohesion in mind.
Above are three real examples from our stylists at Sell In Style Property Styling:
- Image 1: A tiny bathroom was enhanced with a small plant, clay soap dispenser, and bar soap—perfect for limited space.
- Image 2: A wider surface allowed for a feature vase, lotion, dispenser, and candle, all grouped on a tray.
- Image 3: A compact sink featured a soap dispenser, mini vase, shell trinket, and layered towels for interest.
Each setup matches the scale of the vanity while adding warmth and personality to the bathroom space.
