This compilation offers 24 easy, creative methods to transform the top of your toilet into a room that is both practical and fashionable without going overboard.
There is something here to help you finish that empty space, whether your style is comfortable and layered or clean and simple.
1. Wicker Storage Tray
Wicker trays are the perfect mix of form and function. Their natural texture brings warmth and softness to the bathroom, while giving your everyday items—like soap, room spray, or lotion—a tidy, collected look. It’s an effortless way to elevate your toilet-top styling without going overboard.
2. Scented Candle and Diffuser
Let’s be honest—every bathroom needs a little help in the scent department. Pairing a candle with a reed diffuser not only keeps things smelling fresh, but also creates a spa-like vibe. Choose calming scents like lavender or eucalyptus, and place them in pretty jars or ceramic holders for a functional, stylish duo.
3. Marble Storage Tray
If your style leans more luxe, a marble tray is a chic solution. It instantly polishes up the space, giving even basic items a high-end look. Use it to hold perfume, a rolled hand towel, or skincare essentials, and enjoy that upscale hotel bathroom feel at home.
4. Funny Phrase Storage Tray
Add a little humor to the most unexpected spot. A tray with a cheeky phrase like “Nice Butt” or “Have a Seat” gives your bathroom personality and makes guests smile. It’s quirky, fun, and turns an ordinary surface into a conversation starter.
5. Bathroom Essentials
Why not keep it practical and pretty? Neatly arranged essentials—think tissues, hand lotion, wipes, or air freshener—can become decor when styled thoughtfully. A small tray or bin can turn your necessities into a styled moment.
6. Ceramic Storage Jars
Sleek ceramic jars offer a clutter-free way to store small items like cotton rounds, q-tips, or floss picks. They’re functional but minimal, adding a polished, spa-inspired aesthetic to your bathroom without sacrificing usability.
7. Farmer’s Market Storage Tray
Bring cozy cottage vibes into your bathroom with a market-inspired tray. Whether it’s stamped with rustic lettering or filled with mini mason jars, it adds down-to-earth charm that feels homey and lived-in.
8. Wooden Plant Box
Add a dose of nature with a wooden box housing a small plant. This brings contrast and organic texture to a space that’s usually filled with shiny surfaces. It’s an easy way to warm up a sterile area.
9. Open Shelving
A small floating shelf above the toilet expands your decorating (and storage) options. Stack rolled towels, display a tiny potted plant, or showcase a few apothecary jars. It’s stylish, practical, and great for small bathrooms.
10. Plant Box and Bathroom Signage
A charming sign paired with a leafy green plant fills the space above the toilet without overwhelming it. Whether your style is farmhouse, boho, or modern minimalist, this pairing adds life and a personal touch.
11. Toilet Paper in Rattan Basket
No one likes the sight of loose toilet rolls. Keep them corralled and cute with a low-profile rattan basket. It keeps things tidy and brings in that woven, earthy texture that’s perfect for a cozy bathroom setup.
12. Rustic Aesthetic with Climbing Plants
Hanging or trailing plants soften hard edges and instantly make your bathroom feel more inviting. Pair with rustic accessories like wood signs or distressed metal to create a relaxed, nature-inspired look.
13. Green Plant and Storage Tray
This timeless combo blends style and functionality. A fresh or faux plant adds life, while a tray keeps items from feeling scattered. Choose a stone, wood, or ceramic tray depending on your bathroom’s overall style.
14. Black Wire Basket
For a sleek and modern touch, opt for a matte black wire basket. It holds toilet paper, towels, or room sprays with structure and style. The open design keeps it airy, and the color adds just enough edge.
15. Large Vase with Flowers
A tall vase with flowers brings elegance and height to your toilet-top decor. Choose seasonal blooms for a fresh update, or go faux for long-lasting beauty. It adds color, softness, and a little wow factor.
16. Farmhouse-Style Signage
Bring farmhouse charm into the bathroom with a small wood sign featuring a sweet or humorous message. Whether it says “Wash Your Hands” or “Soak, Relax, Unwind,” it adds personality without taking up much space.
17. Tissue Box and Potted Plant
This duo is equal parts functional and stylish. A chic tissue box cover and a small plant (real or faux) create a balanced vignette that feels both thoughtful and complete.
18. Rattan Basket with Plant and Toilet Roll
Pairing practicality with natural texture, this combo is a win for small spaces. The basket keeps TP or wipes in check, while the plant adds visual interest. Easy, efficient, and cozy.
19. Large Wire Basket with Toilet Rolls
Need more storage? A larger wire basket can hold multiple rolls of TP or towels without sacrificing style. It looks especially good in industrial, farmhouse, or minimalist bathrooms.
20. Rattan Vase with Plant
A rattan or wicker vase offers an unexpected but beautiful vessel for greenery. It blends natural warmth with a bit of vertical drama, making your bathroom feel styled but still relaxed.
21. Small Plant and Wire Basket
Even a tiny touch of greenery can bring a bathroom to life. Add a miniature plant beside a compact wire basket for a setup that’s simple, neat, and never boring.
22. Gold and White Candle Holders
For a bit of glam, go for white candle holders with gold accents. They bring light, warmth, and a hint of luxury to even the smallest bathrooms. Perfect for modern or transitional spaces.
23. Wicker Chest Box
A lidded wicker chest is perfect for hiding personal items like feminine products, extra wipes, or backup toiletries. It doubles as decor and adds texture, making your bathroom feel more curated.
24. Neutral Color Palette
Stick to calming shades like ivory, beige, gray, or soft green for a soothing, cohesive look. Neutral tones help your bathroom feel cleaner and more spacious—and they work with nearly every style.
