Inspo, this way!
Morgan & Finch Mali Bath Mat, $29.95.

Born Hand Maniken, $15.47 and MONA Vagina Soap, $40.
Listen: The Spill hosts Kee Reece and Laura Brodnik talk about the 'sophisticated warmth' of Gwyneth Paltrow's vagina candle.
Kmart Bathroom Terrazzo Tray, $7, Soap Dispenser, $5 and Tumbler, $6.
"In an otherwise bland, dated bathroom this terrazzo dish and matching dispenser make me less inclined to rip up the tiles myself." - Tamara.
"This set is fancy AF and so cheap!" - Jessie.
"I have all my fancy skincare sitting on this terrazzo tray." - Kerryn.
Bunnings Assorted Succulents, $7.85 and Kmart Etched Pot, $12.
"My succulent brings me daily joy." - Gemma.
Kmart Wood Look Aroma Diffuser, $39.
"I have this diffuser in my bathroom. I normally put eucalyptus or peppermint essential oil in it, so my bathroom smells super fresh." - Keiran.
Missoni Hand Towel, $45.
"I’ve had this Missoni hand towel for approximately 100 years and it’s still my favourite bathroom buy. Yes, it cost $45, but it’s money we’ll spent IMO - you don’t need a whole towel set to add a splash of colour." - Tamara.
Aesop Post-Poo Poo Drops, $30.
"Instead of the standard Aesop hand wash and lotion combo, I like to pretend my bright purple bathroom is boujee AF with these chic Post-Poo Drops. All about it." - Erin.
Sunday Society Habiba Mat Pink, $49.95
"This bathmat adds that extra touch of colour to my bathroom. Love it." - Kate.
Howards Storage World Marble Look Bathroom Toothbrush Holder, $19.95.
"Love this so much. I looked for ages to find something like this. It's perfect against the bathroom white of our vanity." - Kee.
Kmart Bamboo Towel Ladder, $25.
"This Kmart Bamboo Towel Ladder makes hanging towels look sexy." - Jacqui.
Kmart Pot with Acacia Stand, $15.
"I'm very 50 shades of grey in my bathroom (interior decorating-wise, not the other kind), but putting plants in there made me very, very happy with that little pop of green. Pot was from Kmart and the plant was rescued from a mate's front yard!" - Claire.
