The hot list: bathed in a new light

Your bathroom is as worthy of upgrades as any other room in your home. Start with these simple additions.

1 Dish it out

Place this charming soap dish by Lovisa Wattman along the edge of your bathtub. The dish – made from soft concrete – is a calming soft grey colour, and adorned with the word “tval” in Braille, which translates to “soap” in Swedish.

4 Clean compartments

A hamper may only hold dirty laundry, but that’s no reason for it to be drab. Consider adding this Sedona hamper from Crate & Barrel to your bathroom for a fresh, homely feel.
