    Promising review: “Night-lights always seem to be too dim or too bright, but these are just right! I love that they are soft warm light instead of eye-damaging blue light. They also detect shadow/darkness on a gradient, so it brightens slowly as the room dims. Very cool." —Ktd

    Promising review: "I run a cat rescue and we just built a new building. I use the bathroom sink to bathe cats, and the drywall was getting wet. I didn’t want to spend $300 for someone to install tile, so I found these and these were by far the most realistic. I’m going to use them in the kitchen next!" —Showstopper

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in six colors).

    20. A colorful yet minimalist shower curtain featuring fun shapes (including that of a face) sure to make your bathroom look like less of a square. This weighted curtain even comes with its own rings!

    Promising review: “I purchased this shower curtain for my new apartment and I am in love with it. I think my plans for this bathroom was all over the place. I wanted minimalist, boho chic, but also wanted to incorporate enough color. I think this is a great balance. I will say that it looks way more pink in the photo but it’s actually a pale peach color. It paired well with my light wooden shelves and sink cabinet. I paired it with pink bath mats for the soft boho aesthetic. It’s water resistant and it’s not see through. It's super fun!” —Ines

This is great!! If fits right over my cabinet door so it barely takes up any room. Plus all my styling tools fit in there." —Kaylen

It is not an eyesore at all. Actually it makes the room look better. It has been over six months and even with my destructive 7-year-old son, it is holding up great!” —Raye 

    Get it from Amazon for $22.25.

    Promising review: "This is a perfect size! I use reusable cotton rounds and I find it difficult to find a holder for them. Most are too small. These are large enough to fit my cotton rounds and cotton swabs. I couldn't be happier!" —Emily A. McKnight

If you are looking for storage, buy this!” —Kindle Customer
