Bathroom Products Worth Keeping on Display

Where cleanliness meets good design

Welcome to the extended version of my weekly newsletter, House Call (and if you haven’t subscribed, what are you waiting for?) This is where I spend some time pondering a theme, answering a question, and helping you shop smarter—or at least find some new inspiration. Reach out if you ever need recommendations. I’m happy to search the internet for the most specific furnishings, decor, and knickknacks.

Some days when I sit down to write this newsletter I feel a bit paralyzed by the news and happenings of the world. How can I advise you to buy cool lamps or a comfy set of sheets when chaos is closing in around us? But I have to remind myself that while I don’t have a license in dealing with crises, I do have knowledge about design. Perhaps, I am actually being a tiny bit helpful by giving you permission to scroll through beautiful objects—even for five minutes of solace.

As I was getting myself ready for the day, I realized how all the objects in my bathroom have been giving me a moment of bliss. From a colorful toothbrush to a cute little floss container to a super soft hand towel, these daily hygiene products can soothe your body and spirit. So I’m rounding up a handful of my favorites. You can’t solve all your problems today, but you can brush your teeth!
