Step aside living rooms and offices — bathroomdecor ideas would like a word with interior design lovers. Too often this space feels neglected as a place to, uh...do your business. While that is what most of us do in our bathrooms, it's also a place where we freshen up, focus on our beauty and skincareroutines, wind down with some wine in the bath — you name it!

My bathroom is the place where I hit the 'reset' button on my days, so it makes sense that I want to feel inspired every time I'm in there. So while I'm working on sprucing up my space, I've come to learn that decor doesn't necessarily have to be overstated or way out of our budget. Simply adding scenic wallpaper or a sturdy over-the-toilet storage cabinet can completely transform your bathroom.

If you're not sure how to add new touches to your powder room, here are 23 bathroom decor ideas to create your personal sanctuary!

Accent Shelves

Nathan James Floating Wall Shelves

One of my favorite bathroom decor ideas involves wall shelves — kudos if they give the illusion that they're floating.

Anthropologie Fern Wall Cabinet

If you grew up playing in your grandmother's medicine cabinet, you'll fall in love with this gorgeous arched design by Anthropologie.

Kohl's Safavieh 2-Shelf Storage Stand

Style this space-saving metallic shelf with towels, soaps, books and more for guests and yourself!

Rebrilliant Makensey Adhesive Shower Shelf (Set of 2)

Add an earthy element to your wall with these adhesive shower shelves.

Note: They're renter-friendly!

Calenzana Wall Shelf, Set of 3

Sometimes you need more than a couple of shelves and that's okay! With so many bathroom decor ideas out there, you're able to find pieces that suit your needs.

Latitude Run Margaretta 2 Piece Accent Shelf

Stop the press — this accent shelf is essential if you're in the baby or animal-proofing stage. For some reason, destroying toilet paper is on the list of babies and pets.

AllModern Dyron 3 Piece Hexagon Accent Shelf

If you want to add a different element to one of your bathroom walls, add this hexagon accent shelf.

Standalone Shelves, Cabinets, & Bathroom Carts

Dotted Line Ayden Solid Bamboo Wood Freestanding Bathroom Cabinet

For those of you who have a spacious bathroom, this freestanding bathroom cabinet is the literal cherry on top of a delicious milkshake. You can use it to store extra towels or beauty products.

VEIKOUS Bamboo Over-The-Toilet Storage Cabinet

Should you find yourself in a smaller space, there's no need to feel like you can't enjoy a storage cabinet. The trick is to invest in an over-the-toilet cabinet or shelf. I happen to think it looks sleeker.

Gracie Oaks Freestanding Over-the-Toilet Storage

Where are my rustic farmhouse girls? This over-the-toilet storage is kind of a big bathroom decor deal.

Umbra Bellwood Over Toilet Shelf

But, keeping it simple is always easier to navigate.

Honey-Can-Do Wire Cart

I've been obsessed with Honey-Can-Do rolling carts for a while. They can fit nicely by your toilet while keeping your pads, feminine wipes and extra goodies storied in plain sight.

KK KINGRACK 3-Tier Rolling Cart

If you want a version that's a little wider, try buying this one from Walmart.

Wall Art & Decor

Victoria Barnes Neutral Brushstrokes II Wall Art

Adding wall art to your bathroom makes it rival your favorite hotel room.

Ivy Bronx Baked Paintstrokes V Framed On Paper Print

There isn't anything wrong with going for moodier bathroom decor ideas.

Janet Hill for Artfully Walls Lady In Waiting Wall Art

Or, keep it glamorous to remind yourself that your bathroom is actually your powder room.

Faux Plants

Nearly Natural 9" Pothos Artificial Plant

Place this faux plant on your floating wall shelf to add a touch of greenery to your bathroom.

Vandunsuz Artificial Eucalyptus Wall Decor

Instead of draping eucalyptus over your showerhead, aim for this eye-grabbing bathroom decor idea.

Makeup Organizers & Bathroom Accessories

Glamlily Glass Makeup Organizer

A makeup organizer doubles as a functional piece that also makes your bathroom counter look less bland.

Sorbus Makeup Rotating Organizer

If you prefer to steer clear of glass, an acrylic organizer works just as well. It's a bathroom decor idea I'll also swear by.

Nathan James Bron 3-Light Dimmable Vanity Light

Sometimes bathroom lights are lackluster, but that doesn't have to be permanent. Invest in these vanity lights to brighten the area over your sink.

Anthropologie Blossom Chinoiserie Mural

Bathroom decor ideas should almost always include kitschy wallpaper like this design by Anthropologie.

Shower Curtains

Americanflat Shower Curtain with Exclusive Artist Designs

But, you can experiment with prints by adding this exclusively designed shower curtain.

Seasonwood Boho Fabric Shower Curtain

Fabric shower curtains are an easy and budget-friendly upgrade to your bathroom. Sometimes you don't need anything more than a simple shower curtain change anyway.

Which bathroom decor ideas are you thinking about trying before the end of 2023?

Alicia Silverstone Is Set To Reprise Her Epic Role In Peacock's 'Clueless' Series

The '90s called to let everyone know we're finally getting a sequel to Clueless, but we won't be reliving 97 minutes of nostalgia. Rather, a series is being developed right now and we've got all the details about it! I, for one, am ready to see Cher Horowitz and crew all grown up because the original movie's ending alluded to their bright futures.

Scroll to find out what to expect from the Clueless TV series, plus revisit the scene that made me fall in love with playing dress up!

Is there going to be a Clueless 2?

Yes! Variety announced Peacock is developing the Clueless sequel series yesterday. We can already hear Cher saying "Whatever" to someone who's doing something annoying.

Which cast members will be in Clueless 2?

Amy Sussman/Getty Images

As of now, Alicia Silverstone's return as Cher Horowitz is the only cast information that's been publicized (via Variety). We'd love to see Paul Rudd return as Josh and Stacey Dash as Dionne Davenport!

What is Clueless 2 about? 

The plot's details are still TBA (to be announced), but Variety is convinced the Clueless sequel series will pick up after the events of the movie.

Who's producing and writing the script for Clueless 2? 

Writers Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage and Jordan Weiss are hard at work on the Clueless script. Alicia Silverstone is also an executive producer alongside Amy Heckerling, writer and director of the OG film, and producer Robert Lawrence (via Variety).

Knowing the names who made the iconic film what it is makes me feel relieved the series will be the one fans of the cult classic deserve!

My Favorite Clueless Scene

I was 100% convinced I'd be able to wear computer generated outfits which probably explains my love for the now defunct Polyvore. It was a collage sight that became home for those who loved creating virtual style mood boards and I like to think Cher Horowitz inspired it.

Ryan Gosling Is Starring In A Brand New 'Star Wars' Movie!

Ryan Gosling has already stepped foot in Barbieland and proved his chops as an action star in The Fall Guy, and soon he's taking on outer space. (And no I'm not talking about a Blue Origin space flight). Ryan Gosling is joining the Star Wars universe! His new movie is being directed by Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy and it's going to be one heck of an intergalactic adventure.

Here's everything we know about Ryan Gosling's Star Wars: Starfighter, coming to theaters May 28, 2027.

Is Ryan Gosling going to be in Star Wars?

Yes, Ryan Gosling is going to lead a brand new Star Wars movie called Star Wars: Starfighter.

The movie was announced at the Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo, and both Ryan and Shawn showed up IRL! The Fall Guy proved he has what it takes to maintain that cool-guy vibe (just like Han Solo honestly), and I hope Starfighter has the same urban sci-fi adventure I love to see in Star Wars.

Where can I watch Star Wars: Starfighter?

Star Wars: Starfighter is coming to theaters May 28, 2027.

The movie's coming just after Avengers: Secret Wars, but it's not the next time Marvel and Star Wars could duke it out in the box office. Avengers: Doomsday is coming to theaters May 1, 2026, ahead of The Mandalorian & Grogu, which premieres May 22, 2026. Yes. That's a lot of Pedro Pascal, thank goodness.

What is the Star Wars Starfighter movie?

Star Wars: Starfighter is a brand new Star Wars movie that's set apart from any of the trilogies we've seen so far (although it looks like it's part of a brand new trilogy!). The movie is a "standalone adventure taking place approximately five years after the events of 2019's Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker."

But even though the final movie ended on a peaceful note, Ryan Gosling's character is sure to be in for some kind of crazy adventure. "This is the perfect place to start this journey for us, because it's such an incredible reminder of why we're going to make this movie and who we're going to make this movie for," Ryan said at the Star Wars Celebration (via Entertainment Weekly). "[The] script is just so good. It has such a great story with great and original characters."

"This is a standalone. It's not a prequel, not a sequel. It's a new adventure," Shawn added. "It's set in a period of time that we haven’t seen explored yet."

When is Starfighter filming?


Filming for the movie is scheduled to begin the fall of 2025.

What is a Starfighter?

A starfighter in Star Wars is a small but armed starship used in battle.

The 10 Trader Joe’s Products I Always Add To My Charcuterie Boards

As my family’s resident charcuterie master (shamelessly elated with that title), I’ve made so many boards in my day. Aside from the standard lineup of grapes, strawberries, cucumbers, and baby carrots, no other grocer’s selection of meats, cheeses, crackers, jams, and other goodies is as great as Trader Joe’s (in my humble opinion).

I practically sprint to TJ’s if I've been delegated the sensational task of setting up the snack board for a family gathering or game night with friends. Many of their charcuterie-ready picks are super affordable (but still luxe in quality) and there are endless combos you can craft depending on your fave flavors.

These 10 Trader Joe’s finds are the ones I always include in my charcuterie spreads since numerous tasting opportunities have proven they’re not to be missed. This list spans across savory and sweet options, too, so you’re not missing out on the whole flavor spectrum!

Scroll on for my top 10 Trader Joe’s charcuterie products worth adding to your next platter!

Trader Joe's

Spicy Uncured Charcuterie Collection

A good charcuterie always starts with the meat, and Trader Joe's is stocked with plenty of options. This premium $9 spicy trio is insanely tasty, provides you with a nice variety, plus, they make really stunning meat roses.

Trader Joe's

Salame di Parma Mild Salami

I'll also always typically grab a second option for meat, and that second grab tends to be salami since it's super salty and easy to eat with crackers and bits of cheese in the same bite. This $6 pack is described as "well-balanced" and "mild" so everyone will enjoy snacking on the slices.

Trader Joe's

Double Cream Brie

Brie is where it's at, and it gets even better when you whip up a simple baked brie to pair with the rest of your charcuterie goodies. To make mine, I'll snag this $8.49 block, chop it up and put it in a ramekin, and bake it at a high temp until it's nice and bubbly. It makes the perfect snack to dip crackers in, plus you can easily elevate it with two of my favorite add-ins below...

Trader Joe's

Spicy Honey Sauce

Yup – hot honey supremacy! Drizzling a bit of this on top of my baked brie truly changes everything. Both the sweet and spicy components of this $5 bottle pair wonderfully with brie – you'll be addicted once you try it, I promise.

Trader Joe's

Fig Butter

This $3 fig butter also goes absolutely nuts when you use it as a baked brie topper. It's super simple and subtly sweet. If you love complex, elevated flavors, you've gotta try this pick. It also works well on toasts, sammies, and even burgers!

Trader Joe's

Fig & Olive Crisps

Out of the literal millions of crackers Trader Joe's has to offer, I think these $4 babies are the best money can buy. Each bite is infused with flax, sesame, and sunflower seeds for a yummy crunch, plus, they're made with figs and olives that provide a delectable salty-sweet balance. What I like most about 'em is they have great structural integrity, so they don't break when you use them for dipping or layering between meats and cheeses.

Trader Joe's

Prosciutto Wrapped Fresh Mozzarella Cheese

This $5 snack has the best of both worlds, so it could be a good grab if you want to set up a snack board quickly without spending over $15 on a full suite of meats and cheeses. They're definitely easy to inhale because they're flavorful as ever!

Trader Joe's

Garlic & Jalapeño Stuffed Olives

I could go on and on and on and on about these stuffed olives. They're insane. A jar doesn't ever last long in my fridge. Each plump bite is packed with slivers of garlic and jalapeño, though they're not overly spicy. The brine balances everything out wonderfully. I like to serve these in a tiny bowl on top of my charcuterie boards and eat 'em up!

Trader Joe's

Ciabatta Demi-Baguette

This bread is a must if you're looking to made a baked brie with your charcuterie board: slice it up, toast the pieces for a bit, and you have the perfect vessel for a spoonful of melty brie paired with either the hot honey or fig jam. I tend to buy this "demi" size because I often enjoy my charcuterie boards with one or two other people, but TJ's also sells full-size baguettes to feed bigger crowds!

Trader Joe's

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

These PB cups easily rank in my top 10 favorite Trader Joe's products of all time. Encased in decadent dark chocolate, these bites also hold plenty of creamy peanut butter for a timeless treat – especially one you'll want to unwrap after chowing down on charcuterie!
