One of the easiest, quickest and most affordable ways to turn your bathroom into a blissful sanctuary is by incorporating luxe accessories into the space. No item is too small or utilitarian - from your toothbrush holder and pedal bin to soap dispensers - to double as a décor accent that enhances the space. Here, we share a selection of design-forward accessories.

CURRENTLY TRENDING It's the small details that make a designer bathroom a homely space. "During the morning rush, well-placed accessories enable a structured and calm flow," says Karen Robyn, managing director at Duravit.

"These useful everyday items keep the bathroom furnishings tidy and orderly, enhancing comfort as a result. Accessories can be found in all areas of the bathroom. The interplay between them produces a subtle connection, creating a harmonious look."

According to Liza Watermeyer, visual display manager at Tile Africa, metallics are on trend now, particularly the warm tones of copper, gold and brass that bring an element of glamour into the bathroom. She does add, though, that: "Black accessories remain popular for those looking for an industrial-inspired look." Robyn advises that on-trend black accessories can be used to introduce conscious highlights. "They create an intense, new effect and make a strong statement in the bathroom. Chrome accessories, on the other hand, blend more seamlessly into the overall design."
