PERSONAL TOUCHES Create a look that is truly personalized by including items you use and love. In this vignette, we included a beautiful bubble bath, loofah, pretty toothbrush holder and candle.
BASKETS AND TRAYS Baskets and trays are great choices for functional décor. I used a Lucite tray on the vanity as a place to gather items without taking up extra visual space. I also added a basket to provide texture and hidden storage.
LUXURIOUS DETAILS Plush towels, a lovely soap or pretty candle are great ways to add a luxurious feel while also being decorative and functional.
ORGANIC TOUCHES Adding a plant to your bathroom is a great way to bring life and texture to the space. I love using eucalyptus in the bathroom. It looks fresh and smells amazing.

Small Vanity, Big Style
How to Redo my Vanity with Karla Dreyer. Here are a few ways to dress up a vanity in a small bathroom.
- When space is limited, accents need to be both functional and stylish. A pretty candle and great looking soap are perfect examples.
- If floor space is available, use a decorative basket to add both style and function to your bathroom!
- In a small bathroom, choosing a vanity that offers color and plenty of storage is a great way to create a functional, stylish focal point.

I have been hesitant to use wallpaper in my home, but the beautiful silver/white branch pattern featured in the white cabinet bathroom space has prompted me to finally bite the bullet and do it! I am heading off to purchase some striking wallpaper now…thanks, Karla, for your stunning design inspiration!
I love shaker-style doors!
I like this article because my bathroom is very small and the ideas are great. I love the use of lucite trays and baskets for storage.
