Yes, Even Your Toilet Deserves a Glow-Up
Let’s talk about the one design element in your bathroom you probably ignore: the toilet.
You don’t need a remodel to refresh your space—just a few intentional upgrades that make your bathroom feel styled, not overlooked.
Here are three quick updates I recommend all the time, with affiliate links to some of my go-to finds:
1. Upgrade the Seat (Yes, It Matters!)
If your toilet seat is scratched, stained, or just plain basic—replacing it makes a noticeable difference.
There are two common shapes:
- Elongated – an oval shape, typically more modern and comfortable
- Round – more compact, great for smaller spaces
Choose a seat that fits your toilet, and consider a slow-close lid or a textured or soft-finish option for an extra elevated look.

2. Swap the Bolt Covers
These little plastic caps at the base of your toilet? They don’t have to be boring. Decorative bolt covers add personality and polish without any tools.
Mine are shaped like little foxes—and I get more compliments on them than you’d believe.

3. Ditch the Grocery Store Toilet Brush
Just like you change your toothbrush, your toilet brush needs replacing too. But instead of grabbing a generic plastic one, go for something that matches your space.
Look for closed containers, sleek lines, or finishes that coordinate with your other bathroom accessories.

Design doesn’t have to be expensive—it just needs intention.
Little changes like these bring style and function together in the most unexpected places.
