Today for my second post in collaboration with Eileen Fisher Home, I’m excited to share some tips for styling and organizing a teensy tiny bathroom. The way I see it, just because your bathroom is small, that doesn’t mean it can’t be functional and stylish. True, I can’t exactly hang wallpaper or install a gorgeous mirror as I would ideally like do in a bathroom, but in a small space, it’s all about making the best of what you’ve got (and being grateful that your bathroom has a sink, and that your bathtub isn’t in the kitchen – real situations, people). And when it comes to bathrooms, making the most of your space also means getting the best towels you can find – and so far, I’m really loving the Eileen Fisher Plush Organic Cotton Towels that the brand sent over for me to try.
For my bathroom, I chose a striped shower curtain in a soft stripe (from West Elm) just to add a little pop of pattern. In the future I might go for a white one (like this linen curtain), just because it makes the space appear so much bigger. I keep a lidded basket on top of the toilet tank which holds my brushes and various other things that I use daily…I like that in addition to being really useful, it also adds something natural and organic to the space.
To add a little personality and style to the space, I keep a Diptyque candle on my shelf, and added a Jonathan Adler acrylic tissue holder (which I love). Plus fresh flowers always help to add a little color and life to a space that gets no natural light.
I wrote a post here about framing these Kate Spade pieces.
Splurge alert! I have a thing for wonderful hand soaps, and this Aesop one is my serious favorite. It is legitimately ridiculously expensive, but I honestly think it’s worth it! It’s like a little treat every time I wash my hands – I just love it.
Ahhh, fluffy towels. Next best thing to falling into soft, clean sheets at the end of the day – wrapping yourself up in a fluffy clean towel after a long, hot shower. The best! As I mentioned in my bedroom makeover post, Eileen Fisher has been creating products for Garnet Hill for the past ten years, all with the goal of imparting a sense of elegance and well-being into the home. The soft texture and fresh, clean white of the Eileen Fisher Plush Organic Towels truly exemplify these values – and bonus – they’re currently on sale.
Another important part of organizing a small bathroom is making smart use of your medicine cabinet (if you’re lucky enough to have one!). I put various things into makeup bags (love this one) to keep items organized, corralled, and out of sight. And yes, I totally cleaned up my medicine cabinet for this post, but I plan on keeping it this orderly!

You can change the outlet cover to white so everything will be white. It’s a cheap and easy change.
That’s such a good idea! I never thought about it before but in pictures it definitely sticks out. I will look into that, thanks!
Wish my medicine cabinet looked like that. Those towels really look nice and fluffy too, yum.
