1. A peel-and-stick faux marble adhesive paper for giving your countertops an expensive-looking update on the cheap that doesn't just look great, but is stain- and water-resistant too.
2. An adjustable recessed light converter kit because you've been eyeing some FAB pendant lamps since forever, and now you can finally give in and enjoy them in your home.
Promising review: "I love this thing. It took me about 15 minutes to install this. Note: Don't try to directly drill the screws through the can. You will likely need to pre-drill holes in the can for the screws. I converted a recessed light into a three-light unit that hangs above my kitchen island. The unit weighs 20 pounds, and the conversion kit handles it easily. This saves so much money instead of having to convert the recessed light to a traditional electrical box. Very simple, yet wonderful product." —Pete I.
Get it from Amazon for $22.94.
3. A reviewer-beloved wood polish that conditions and protects wood with a combination of beeswax and orange oil, while hiding dings and scratches so you can turn back the clock on worn-out cabinets and furniture.
Promising review: "Used this on old oak bathroom and kitchen cabinets that were dry had lots of water stains. Voila! They were gone. Like gone, gone. The cabinets looked brand new. I should have taken pictures, but I was so impressed I started doing all the oak cabinets in my house. Buy this item quick!" —LS
Get it from Amazon for $8.25.
4. An over-toilet storage cabinet if the single medicine cabinet in your bathroom just isn't proving spacious enough for all your toiletries and extra TP.
Promising review: "Good price, good quality, good appearance, good functionality, plenty of clearance around the bowl in all directions, etc. Lots of other review talked about the time required to assemble and that there we so many pieces...if you can put together ANYTHING from Ikea, then you can put this together. Instructions were amazing, parts were very organized and clearly laid out in individual bags. Each instruction showed you how many pieces were needed for the step (think Lego instructions)." —Bennett Wetherald
Get it from Amazon for $82.99 (available in two colors).
5. A reusable pumice stone to quickly remove stains from rust, lime, or calcium build-up and have your toilets, sinks, and tubs looking like new — no dingy rings in sight.
Promising review: "I have very hard water that leaves hard-water buildup and nasty stains. It’s embarrassing to have guests over because the toilets are so gross! I have tried so many products and cleaning solutions — from natural essential oils to harsh chemicals so strong I was lightheaded for the rest of the day. Well, I tried out this pumice stone after reading about it in a BuzzFeed article, and honestly, the hype is real! It does take some elbow grease, but the after picture is from only 20 minutes of scrubbing, light enough that I didn’t break a sweat! The stone does get used up, but I think this one should last me a couple of years at least. So if you have embarrassing toilets, try this!" —Stephanie Ray
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (also available in a pack of two and four).
6. A toothbrush station so you can clear counter clutter and prevent goopy messes with a wall-mounted unit that stores and dispenses the perfect amount of toothpaste on your brushes every time. It's much more sanitary than leaving out uncovered brushes *AND* it conveniently holds four rinse cups.
It holds five toothbrushes and the two toothpaste dispensers use vacuum tech to get every last drop out of the tube.
Promising review: "You need one! I love this! So easy to install and holds nice and tight to the wall. The toothbrushes sit nicely in the holder and are easy for my kids to grab. The two gargle cups are nice but we added little Dixie cups to ours instead. The toothpaste function works really well and isn’t messy for our kids. I highly recommend this!" —Sarah C.
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in three colors).
7. Or a multifunctional toothbrush organizing caddy for tidying up your counter and putting an end to scooting past precariously placed toothbrushes on your way to the hand soap.
Promising review: "Two adults and two kids in our family. I like the size. There is a space for all our toothbrushes, and it keeps them from touching each other. My kids use a different toothpaste than ours and there is space for both of them as well. The color is nice goes with my bathroom decor." —Sully
Get it from Amazon for $10.87+ (available in two styles and in two finishes).
8. A multiprint shower curtain because the quickest way to refresh your bathroom is with a colorful curtain to brighten up the rest of the room's sterile shade of white.
Promising review: "I was eyeballing this shower curtain for a while. I’m so happy that I finally purchased it, and it looks great in our lower-level bath. Beautiful, vibrant colors. It has weight to it and feels good to the touch (no wrinkles — liner required). It has button holes and not the cheap grommets. There’s a variation in the pattern depending on where the length was cut during manufacturing (one solid piece). See my photo compared to the one on the site. Extremely pleased with this curtain, and the cat agrees, too!" —MBF
Get it from Amazon for $19.14+ (available in three sizes and four styles).
9. A string of LED vanity lights that'll not only improve the lighting in your bathroom, but make you feel like a glamorous movie star, even if you're slathering on a green face mask and piling your hair into a messy bun!
These light strips easily stick onto your mirror and come with a dimmer, so you can adjust the brightness.
Promising review: "I got these lights for a dim bathroom and I LOVE them! They are bright, cheerful, and cool as decor. I can do my hair, put on makeup, or even use them as a room light because my vanity opens into my bedroom. I do my own eyebrows, nails, etc. so having good light is essential, and these lights are great. I got a second set for a different bathroom, and those look great too. I am VERY happy with this purchase." —ellesbietta
Get them from Amazon for $18.68
10. These water-resistant adhesive floor tiles if your building's pre-war charm does not extend to those pre-war tile floors and the woefully stained grout.
Each tile is 12" x 12" in size!
Promising review: "For under $100, I redid my entire bathroom! We moved into our home two years ago, and our small main-floor bathroom had hideous orange mosaic tiles. We want to eventually gut and rehab our bathroom but wanted to give it a cheap facelift. Floorpops made that possible and a very inexpensive option! We used caulk to seal some of the tiny gaps and caulked around the tub and underneath the baseboards for a good seal. The tiles are not moving at all and have adhered okay. All in all, I am very pleased with the end result!" —Agnieszka
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $13.69+ (available in black and gray).
Or take a look at the best peel-and-stick wallpaper on Amazon if you're looking to update your walls, instead.
11. Or some interlocking Teak tiles to give your neglected floors a luxury bathhouse-style finish. These tiles easily cover up most any hard surface (inside or out) and require ZERO tools to install.
12. A set of two adhesive shower shelves so you can corral your loose collections of bottles with a renter-friendly solution that has enough space to handle every body wash, hair mask, and bubble bath in your arsenal.
Promising review: "I saw these shelves on TikTok and really wanted to try them out, as I have no shelves in my shower. The adhesion is impressive — they’ve stayed sticking for the past two weeks with no sign of letting up and are holding about four bottles of products on each of the two racks I have hanging. I thought they would fall after showering or something, but they have stayed strong and held up. I’m so impressed! I’m sure I will purchase more in the future. Super duper easy to install. They look beautiful and modern and give my bathroom a totally different vibe. It’s so nice to have a product like this available!! Thank you!" —Sara B
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in black and silver).
13. A fast-drying grout paint pen for helping you cover up any stains in your tile cracks that just won't budge. Think of it like one of those adult coloring books — fill in the lines and bask in your ~artistic~ sensibilities.
Promising review: "Holy cow! I never thought my stained grout would look so good! These pens are so amazing. After a little priming, they go forever! They cover very well and are super easy to use, covering the darkest of stains! I am buying four more to cover the rest of the house. The tip does not get into the very end of a line due to the border, but I prime it a bit for excess paint and push it in with my finger. Also, this is great for those deep, small holes or grooves in the tile that leave dirt spots that are almost impossible to get out. Just prime it over the hole, rub it in with your finger, and wipe off the rest. I have very light beige tile, and the beige color pens blend perfectly. I would NOT recommend white unless you have very white tile. This beige will blend well with white as well. Cannot beat it for the price and the amazing job this pen does. One pen will cover about a 3x20-foot area, no problem." —NatJH
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes and in additional colors).
14. A set of furniture repair markers and wax sticks because a little wear and tear doesn't have to mean a full-scale replacement. Find the right color, give any scratches a few swipes, and your worn-out vanity will be looking good as new.
They're designed for smaller scratches on wood furniture, wood laminate furniture (like the stuff from Ikea), and wood or wood-like floors. The kit includes markers *and* wax sticks in six colors: maple, oak, cherry, walnut, mahogany, and black. And yes, the sharpener for the wax sticks is included, too.
Promising review: "These worked great. I had a bathroom vanity that had a few scratches on it. The markers covered them up beautifully and matched very well. There are a few color options to likely match whatever furniture you're trying to patch up." —Bri D
Get them from Amazon for $9.99.
15. A fresh eucalyptus bundle with an included hook to make every shower feel like a spa day. Not only does this hanging bouquet look incredibly chic, but shower steam releases that soothing eucalyptus scent and all the decongesting and stress-relieving benefits that come with it.
Eucalyptus Blooms is a Charlotte, North Carolina-based Etsy shop creating relaxing bath time products (with an emphasis on eucalyptus) to get the most of your R&R sessions.
Promising review: "I was surprised at the actual size of the eucalyptus I received, in a good way! It’s great that it includes the hook and directions to get the most out of your product. I’m super happy so far and am really impressed with the quality. Can’t wait to order another one in the future!" —Hannah Lowe
Get it from Eucalyptus Blooms on Etsy for $17.99+ (available in three sizes).
16. A set of wooden floating shelves that'll quickly transform the empty space above your toilet into elegant wall decor, functional storage, or both!
Promising review: "I just moved into a new apartment and needed some floating shelves for a wall in my bathroom. These were perfect for me. A friend installed them and had no problems with them. I got the white color, they look very nice. They are sturdy too. I would recommend them." —Amazon Customer
Get a set from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in seven sizes and in six finishes).

17. A nonslip slatted bath mat if your fluffy bath mat is looking (and smelling) a little worse for wear. This one gives your bathroom an instant spa-like feel with easy-to-clean, renewable bamboo that naturally repels water.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this. I was so sick of the bathmat getting wet and not drying...just an awful feeling stepping out of a shower onto a wet mat. This somehow always feels warm and is dry in no time. Only caveat — make sure you have room to walk around it. It is hard and elevated (as one would expect), but if it's sticking out too far in a room it's easy to catch toes against it. Lesson quickly learned." —Alli
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in four sizes and in two finishes).
18. A powerful mold and mildew stain cleaner to lift the most terrifying grout and caulking stains without the back-breaking scrubbing. Just apply the concentrated gel formula, wait 6–8 hours, and watch stains (and your worries) wash down the drain.
Promising review: "We moved into a new apartment and the mold was out of control and it was disgusting. We tried so many products to get it out until we found this one and decided to try it as we didn’t have anything to lose. I’m so happy we bought this! This is basically concentrated Clorox as a gel so it’s so much easier to apply than the liquid and it kind of stays in place. You just have to apply it, wait a few hours, and remove it (no scrubbing required). Just make sure your shower is dry when you apply it and you’ll be good to go. Definitely worth buying if you have the same problem and nothing has worked." —Chris
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
19. A battery-operated motion-sensor toilet light so you can make your potty feel like a piece of modern art, and end the searing pain of turning on the bathroom lights when you need to pee at 2 in the morning.
This LED toilet light has 16 colors that can work on a rotation or as a solid color, and run on AA batteries (not included).
Promising review: "This seemingly silly little gadget has turned out to be great! The light level (brightness) can be dimmed down if desired, and the color can be set to whatever you want, but the bottom line is that you don't need to turn on a bright overhead light (which wakes me up and makes me angry, not a good combination) when you need to go into the bathroom at night. Cleaning it is a breeze, too; what seems like it's going to be a problem...isn't. I can't recommend this toilet night light highly enough, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Could be on the gift list this December." —Wandergurrlee
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
20. Or a plug-in color-shifting mushroom light for adding an enchanting touch to your bathroom that'll light the way through any midnight misadventures.
Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on which is nice so I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand
Get it from Amazon for $5.99.
21. A hard water stain remover because you're tired of the questionable film making the shower glass look permanently foggy. Side effects might include running into your nearly invisible shower door — it'll be that clean.
It also works on a wide range of surfaces like stainless steel, brass aluminum, hard vinyl, chrome, and more.
Promising review: "Amazing product! This is the absolute first time I have written a review for Amazon, and I shop A LOT! I have been looking for something to get the hard water spots off my shower door, and this did the trick! I've used it on all my bathroom fixtures, and they are sparkling. It makes me want to keep cleaning; it works that well. It's a plus that there are no fumes, and it's safe to use without gloves! The product actually smells really good, like toothpaste. I've already told my family about it! Will definitely buy again." —loveshoes!
Get it from Amazon for $19.77.
22. An oil stain remover that performs straight-up sorcery on practically any kind of stone surface (whether it's sealed or not) so that mysterious oil stain no one will own up to creating can finally get the boot.
It works on marble, granite, limestone, travertine, slate, sandstone, grout (for ceramic and porcelain tile), masonry, and concrete — and it won't discolor the surface of the stone even one bit!
Promising review: "We ended up with an oil stain on our granite top in the bathroom. Our friend who works in the industry told me to try the Stonetech product. It worked great. It was easy to apply, and the consistency was thick enough to apply with a spoon or tongue stick. I let it dry for about 72 hours and removed the product. I resealed the whole granite top with Stonetech sealer to finish the job. There were no signs of color loss on the top, so all's well that ends well." —Bobby Knox
Get it from Amazon for $18.49.
23. A jumbo clothespin towel holder if regular towel holders bore you. This one is lightweight enough for no-drill installation and cute to boot!
Barwood Shop is a Syracuse, New York-based Etsy shop run by Matt, a woodworker handcrafting rustic home decor.
I really wanted a renter-friendly hand towel holder that was a little more unique than a standard hook or ring. This ticks all of those boxes beautifully. It comes with Command Strips for easy installation, and I get so many compliments on it from guests. And it holds the towel without slipping! I couldn't ask for more.
Get it from Barwood Shop on Etsy for $28.97 (available in seven finishes).
24. A set of acrylic floating shelves to get all that countertop clutter up on the wall where it won't get in your way. It doesn't hurt that they're so darn sleek-looking, either.
Promising review: "The shelves were super easy to install. They laid pretty flat and flush against the wall, and look great. They hold lightweight items as stated in the description without any problems. Been four months — no sagging, no cracks, no slipping. Good job." —SuburbanMom
Get a pair from Amazon for $14.99 (available in larger packs and in black).
25. Or a pair of stackable corner shelves so that teeny tiny counter corner where you cram all your getting-ready necessities can triple its holding capacity.
Promising review: "I love these. My bathroom counter is pretty small, and I have a lot of things that I need to store. This definitely met my needs, and they are super sturdy. I would definitely re-purchase and recommend them to anyone." —maria v
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $20.99 (available in four colors).
26. A peel-and-stick tile backsplash for a DIY upgrade that requires zero knowledge of actual tiling and just a bit of patience and creativity on your end.
Promising review: "I used the product as a backsplash in my bathroom. It seems to work very well and everybody thinks it's real thing it's real. It's easy to put in, the adhesion works really well, and I don't have any complaints about this product whatsoever." —Jason Hughes

27. A minimalist flip-down hanger because it's a sleek storage solution that cleverly doubles as modern art when not in use.
Promising review: "These hooks are functional and fun. There are five hooks for hanging your items. It's plastic, not wood — the description states this. It's easy to install and came with a paper ruler to use as a guide when installing. I have rain coats, umbrellas, sweaters, and dog leashes hanging on it and it's holding well." —M String
Get it from Amazon for $23.49+ (available in four colors).
28. A set of brush scrubber drill attachments that'll eliminate caked-on soap grime with a fraction of the usually required elbow grease. Charge up your standard electric drill, attach the right brush head for the job, and let the modern luxury of motorized rotation cut through grime quicker than your sad sponge ever could.
Drillbrush is a small business founded by a car wash owner, Anthony LaPolla, who had carpal tunnel and needed a way to clean rims without the strain of hand scrubbing. Tony started selling the design in 2007 and has since expanded the product line to include varying stiffnesses to handle all sorts of cleaning tasks.
The set includes three brush head attachments: a flat 2-inch detail brush, a flat 4-inch brush for large surfaces, and a rounded brush for corners.
Promising review: "I let my tub get extra dirty on purpose because I knew this brush set was coming. In five minutes, my tub was sparkling clean. This item is no joke. The flat brushes are awesome for big surfaces, and the cone brush hits the hard-to-reach corners. I liked them so much I bought a set for my mom." —Jason B.
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six brush stiffnesses).
29. A slender storage cabinet to transform that dead space in the corner into an aesthetic home for extra TP, cleaning supplies, and tissues.
Promising review: "So easy to put together I could put it together with my eyes closed. Fit amazingly perfectly between the tub and the toilet and it has created so much more space and my bathroom is no longer cluttered because of this product." —COS45B
Get it from Amazon for $23.48+ (available in 3 sizes and 10 colors).
30. A towel holder so you can put that empty wall space to good use and make your bathroom look a bit more luxurious at the same time.
Promising review: "Absolutely love these! We have extra large towels and these racks hold them perfectly when rolled up! It's such a great modern style and gives the bathroom a great look. They are sturdy and come with wall anchors as well. Will be buying another set of these for our other bathroom, and perhaps another for the dining room for some wine bottles! Don't even have to think twice before buying these!" —Erin Cech
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in three finishes).
31. Some stylish brushed brass handles for your vanity doors and drawers since sometimes it's the little things that take a space from drab to fab.
Promising review: "Wow. For the price, I was not expecting such a beautiful handle. The brushed brass color was the perfect shade. Looks very elegant and high-end. I had purchased another handle to compare and couldn't believe how much heavier this handle was compared to a similar brand. Very easy to install, as screws were included. Do not hesitate to purchase this handle if you want an elegant brushed brass handle. Would look beautiful in a kitchen, bathroom or as a handle for a dresser." –ASCRN
Get a set of 10 five-inch pulls from Amazon for $58.82.
32. A bamboo tub caddy because it'll make your bathroom feel a little more like a spa with a solid place to rest whatever would make bath time better for you — candles, a glass of wine, a good book, you name it!
Promising review: "Love this bathtub caddy so much! It’s exactly what I wanted. The sides extend, allowing you to adjust the length, and it even works with a tub that is built against a wall. I was worried the ledge nearest the wall wouldn’t be wide enough but this caddy works great! And the little iPhone slot is a nice touch. Definitely recommend! Buy it! You won’t regret it." —Bailey
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in five colors).
33. A pack of modern metallic switch covers so every element, even your outlet covers, matches the bathroom aesthetic of your dreams.
Promising review: "The satin nickel wall plate switch covers are just what we were looking for. We found a good selection on Amazon with very fair prices. They arrived promptly and were easy to install. The switch plates come with screws to match. You can easily add dimmers to these switch plates. We love the way they look and recommend highly." —Deborah Beck
