Alert: Beach towels are not the same things as bath towels. Double alert: Kitchen rags are not the same things as hand towels. If you can invest in a beautiful sheet set for your 20-something apartment, you can pick up a full, matching set of bath towels. Organic materials are always a plus, but also be sure to buy colors and fabrics that are easy to wash—typically, experts recommend washing your bath towels after every three or four uses.

The mini Solo cup has got to go. It’s time to buy a toothbrush holder that is small and easy to clean, but also looks cool, too. Think of it as a vase for your dental hygiene equipment. In fact, you can use a small bud vase for a holder if you’d like. This is one place to get creative with your washroom decor—a beautiful ceramic cup from the kitchen can be used to hold your toothbrush along with makeup or even Q-tips. Also, don’t forget to clean this germ-loving bathroom item as frequently as possible.

Kudos to Kleenex for trying with their pretty patterned boxes, but really, they’re all just boring old tissue containers. Picking up a sleek tissue box cover can immediately transform the look of your bathroom counter.

Every 20-something’s sanctuary should come with its own robe. Treating yourself to a luxe and cushy bathrobe may be one of the smartest things you purchase during your second decade of life. This is the age for multitasking, so better to be able to actually wear a towel around the house in the morning while getting ready, making coffee, and answering emails without fear of it falling off.

The shower curtain is the focal point of the bathroom, so it would behoove you to hang one that isn’t just clear and plastic and with a world map printed on it. In fact, plastic curtains are most typically used as liners to keep water from splashing on the floor, while a fabric curtain makes a decorative statement. For a more sophisticated look, make sure you measure correctly and buy curtains long enough to touch the floor. As for materials, linen and cotton are typically the most durable and long-lasting.
