These are the matte black bathroom fixtures, cabinet pulls and small accessories we chose for a clean, coordinated look. I mixed Moen Doux and Moen Mikah pieces with simple black Target accessories, focusing on practical details like pivoting holders...

This is the matte black toilet paper holder I chose because the pivoting arm makes changing the roll so much easier. I hate the old-school spring-loaded style, but I also did not want a single open post where the roll could slide off. This gives me t...

This matte black Moen Doux widespread faucet coordinates with the rest of the collection without making the bathroom feel too matchy. I liked the high curved spout and separate handles for the vanity. I chose a different tub filler because I preferre...

We chose this slim oval wastebasket because its narrow footprint fits into a bathroom without taking up much floor space. The open top is simple, and the black finish blends in with the other matte black accessories.

This is the better option if you do not want the trash visible. The rotating lid keeps the contents covered without the bulk of a step can, and the black metal finish looks cleaner than a basic plastic bin. I bought 2 of these for my house and I love...

A toilet brush is not exciting, but this black metal set is discreet enough to leave out and coordinates with the rest of the bathroom accessories. The holder keeps the brush contained instead of leaving it exposed.

We chose these 6-inch Emtek Modern Edge Pulls in flat black for the slab-front vanity drawers. The cabinet doors use push-open hardware, so the low-profile pulls keep the drawers easy to open without interrupting the clean, handle-free look.

We chose the 24-inch Moen Mikah double towel bar in matte black for two bathrooms. I wanted two bars because they give us more hanging space without using twice as much wall space, and the curved brackets work with the softer lines of the other fixtu...

We chose the Moen Mikah robe hooks in matte black to coordinate with the double towel bars. The soft, rounded shape keeps the black finish from feeling too harsh, and the hook gives robes and towels a dedicated place to land.

Chrome Bathroom Fixtures & Accessories

These are the chrome bathroom accessories we chose for my daughter’s bathroom. The tile and countertop already bring color and sparkle, so polished chrome keeps the hardware bright and simple while the matching Moen pieces make the room feel coordina...

We chose this Moen Jase pivoting toilet paper holder in chrome for my daughter’s bathroom. I love the pivoting design because changing the roll is quick, but the closed arm still prevents it from sliding off. The polished chrome works well with the f...

This is the chrome Moen Mikah robe hook we chose for my daughter’s bathroom. It coordinates with the other chrome hardware and gives her an easy place to hang a robe or towel without using the wall space required for another towel bar.

We chose the 24-inch Moen Mikah double towel bar in chrome for my daughter’s bathroom. The two bars give her room to hang more than one towel in the same footprint, and the polished finish keeps the hardware bright against the colorful tile.

This tile looks amazing in our master bath. We installed it to the ceiling. We are still finishing everything up, but so far it looks fantastic. When we are done, the master bath will have a beautiful spa-like feeling.

This is the floor tile in our master. We love the concrete look, and needed something in the taupe family to coordiante with the wall tile. It needed to have very little to no pattern, and this is perfect!

We used this hexagon tile in our master and guest bath shower pans. It is so pretty. It is a natural stone, and has white veining, color variation and it's so pretty!

Tile & Post-Construction Cleaning Tools

These are the products that helped us clean large-format porcelain tile, natural stone and marble during the final stretch of our renovation. I included the pH-neutral floor cleaner, clean-water spin mop and small scrub brush that have been most usef...

We installed large-format porcelain tile throughout the house, plus natural stone and marble in the bathrooms, so I wanted one pH-neutral cleaner that could work across those surfaces. I found this concentrate at Home Depot, and so far it has cleaned...

I hate mopping. Does anyone actually like it? My biggest complaint was dunking a dirty mop head back into the same water. This O-Cedar system separates the clean water from the dirty water, which makes the whole process feel much less gross. Read the...

My tile installers left the floors in pretty good shape, but a few spots still needed extra scrubbing to loosen small bits of grout and construction debris. This compact brush gives me more control than a full-size floor brush, especially along edges...

This has helped with cleaning the walls and ceiling fans after the reno. It’s incredible the amount of dust that accumulates in those places. It helped get under the bed and other furniture too.

A playful ceramic silver balloon dog that doubles as a bottle holder. I chose it as a fun metallic accent for our beverage bar; check the holder dimensions against the bottle you plan to display.

I’m starting like the mid-century modern look, and I want to add some accents in that style.
