The best IKEA bathroom accessories depend on whether you want a simple countertop upgrade or flexible storage that clears clutter. I rank the IKEA TACKAN Glass Soap Dispensers as the best overall pick for everyday sink use, while the SKÅDIS 7-Piece Pegboard Accessories Set stands out for adaptable wall storage and the DRAGAN Bamboo Toothbrush Holder for a compact, natural-looking counter. The main tradeoff is between low-effort essentials and accessories that need more planning or installation. Material, cleaning needs, and available wall or counter space matter as much as appearance. Read on for the full comparison and guidance on choosing the right pieces for your bathroom.

Key Takeaways
TACKAN is the most broadly useful pick: a pair of clear soap dispensers suits a shared sink or lets you separate soap and lotion, but glass needs more careful handling than a plastic alternative.
SKÅDIS wins for adaptable storage: its seven-piece set offers more ways to organize a wall than the individual containers, though it makes most sense when you already have a compatible pegboard or plan to add one.
DRAGAN and BOLMEN solve different small problems: DRAGAN keeps toothbrushes together on the counter, while BOLMEN is a straightforward toilet-cleaning essential rather than a general storage accessory.
Matching SKÅDIS containers are not interchangeable in appearance: black and white versions offer the same basic container role, so choose by your existing bathroom palette rather than expecting a meaningful functional difference.
BASTIS is the most specialized option: its dog-tail hooks add a playful place for lightweight items, but buyers seeking understated hardware or hooks for heavier loads should look elsewhere in the lineup.

More Details on Our Top Picks
IKEA TACKAN Set of 2 Glass Soap Dispensers, Transparent
The TACKAN pair is the easiest pick here for keeping two sink-side liquids together, such as hand soap and lotion. Each dispenser holds 200 ml, and the transparent glass makes it easy to see what is inside and how much remains. Compared with the DRAGAN toothbrush holder, TACKAN is more focused on liquid storage than organizing daily tools; it also gives you two matching pieces rather than one holder with a single compartment. The tradeoff is that glass needs more care than the plastic used in the Bolmen toilet brush, especially around hard basins or busy family sinks. Its modest capacity may also mean frequent refills in a high-use bathroom. I’d choose it for a tidy paired setup, not for maximum capacity or rough handling.
Pros:- Two matching dispensers support a coordinated sink setup
- Transparent glass makes contents and remaining liquid visible
- Each dispenser holds 200 ml
- BPA-free materials
Cons:- Glass can break if dropped or struck against a hard basin
- The 200 ml capacity may require frequent refills in a heavily used bathroom
- The small set is focused on dispensing liquids rather than broader sink organization
Best for: Households that want matching dispensers for hand soap and a second sink-side liquid in a compact bathroom
Not ideal for: Busy family bathrooms where dispensers may be knocked over, or buyers who want a large-capacity bottle with fewer refills
- Brand:IKEA
- Set size:2 dispensers
- Material:Glass
- Color:Transparent
- Liquid volume:200 ml per dispenser
- Item weight:250 g
- Dimensions:5.91 × 2.36 × 0.67 in
- Shape:Round
- BPA free:Yes
Our verdict“Choose TACKAN if you want two compact, matching glass dispensers and can handle them more carefully than plastic bathroom accessories.”
IKEA DRAGAN Bamboo Toothbrush Holder
The DRAGAN toothbrush holder suits bathrooms where a warm material feels more at home than the TACKAN set’s transparent glass or the Skådis container’s black steel. Its freestanding bamboo body needs no wall setup, so it can move with your routine or fit a rental bathroom without mounting hardware. The single compartment keeps the design simple, but it also limits separation: toothbrushes and other small items share the same space. That makes DRAGAN less flexible than the Skådis container for separating a few bathroom odds and ends, though it is more directly suited to a toothbrush station. Bamboo with a lacquer finish brings a natural look, but it calls for wipe-and-dry care rather than being left wet. I’d pick it for an uncluttered counter, not for sorting several users’ toiletries.
Pros:- Bamboo construction adds a natural finish to the bathroom counter
- Freestanding design can be repositioned without installation
- Compact footprint fits many vanity areas
- Wipe-clean care is straightforward when followed by drying
Cons:- One compartment does not separate toothbrushes by person
- Bamboo and lacquer require drying after cleaning rather than being left damp
- Offers less flexible storage than the wall-mounted Skådis container
Best for: Renters and small-household buyers who want a freestanding, natural-looking place for toothbrushes without mounting anything
Not ideal for: Families or shared bathrooms that need separate toothbrush compartments or a holder for a wider mix of items
- Material:Bamboo, clear acrylic lacquer, and polypropylene
- Dimensions:4.75 × 3.25 × 2.5 in (12 × 8 × 6 cm)
- Weight:6 oz (0.17 kg)
- Compartments:1
- Mounting type:Freestanding
- Care:Wipe with a damp cloth; wipe dry with a clean cloth
Our verdict“Choose DRAGAN for a compact, freestanding toothbrush spot with a bamboo look, but skip it if you need divided storage.”
IKEA Bolmen Toilet Brush and Holder, White
The Bolmen toilet brush and holder is the practical pick in this group for a bathroom that needs a dedicated cleaning tool, not another countertop organizer. Its included holder keeps the brush stored in one place, while the medium-firm plastic brush is specified for ceramic surfaces. Compared with the DRAGAN toothbrush holder, Bolmen is less about display and more about a basic, reusable cleaning task; unlike the TACKAN glass dispensers, it is not a sink accessory. The simple plastic construction and damp-cloth cleaning instructions keep upkeep direct, but the listed care routine still requires wiping and drying rather than treating the holder as maintenance-free. Its white finish may also stand out in a darker bathroom. I’d choose Bolmen for straightforward function, not for premium materials or extra features.
Pros:- Holder is included for a designated storage spot
- Reusable brush avoids a disposable-only setup
- Medium firmness is specified for ceramic surfaces
- Damp-cloth care instructions are simple
Cons:- Plastic handle and basic design offer limited material refinement
- White color may contrast with darker bathroom fixtures
- Product data gives limited detail about brush-head replacement or cleaning performance
Best for: Buyers furnishing a basic bathroom who need a reusable toilet brush with a matching holder and simple care
Not ideal for: Shoppers seeking a discreet dark finish, upgraded materials, or a toilet-cleaning tool with detailed performance information
- Brand:IKEA
- Model:201.595.22
- Color:White
- Handle material:Plastic
- Firmness:Medium
- Holder included:Yes
- Surface recommendation:Ceramic
- Dimensions:4 × 2.5 × 13.7 in
- Weight:91 g
Our verdict“Choose Bolmen for a straightforward reusable brush-and-holder set, especially when basic function matters more than finish or added features.”
IKEA Skådis Container, Black
The Skådis container is the strongest choice here for freeing up counter space, provided you have a compatible IKEA pegboard setup. Its tool-free attachment lets you move it around without drilling for the container itself, a different approach from the freestanding DRAGAN toothbrush holder. The black powder-coated steel is tested and approved for bathroom use, giving it a more utilitarian, wall-mounted role than the TACKAN glass dispensers. Its compact size works for small items such as toothbrushes or coins, but it is not a deep catchall for larger toiletries. This listing is also a single container, whereas the SKÅDIS 7-piece accessories set offers a broader assortment for buyers starting from scratch. I’d choose this one to add focused storage to an existing board, not as a complete bathroom organizing system.
Pros:- Attaches and moves without tools when used with the compatible setup
- Powder-coated steel is tested and approved for bathroom use
- Compact container suits small items such as toothbrushes or coins
- Black finish offers a distinct alternative to the white SKÅDIS accessories
Cons:- Requires a compatible pegboard setup rather than standing on its own
- Small capacity limits it to compact bathroom items
- One container provides less variety than the SKÅDIS 7-piece accessories set
Best for: Owners of a compatible IKEA pegboard who want to move small bathroom essentials off the vanity
Not ideal for: Buyers without a pegboard, or anyone needing storage for tall bottles, bulky toiletries, or a full range of accessories
- Brand:IKEA
- Material:Steel with epoxy/polyester powder coating
- Color:Black
- Dimensions:4.33 × 2.95 × 3.15 in
- Weight:0.14 kg
- Model number:503.216.35
- Unit count:1
Our verdict“Choose the black Skådis container to add movable storage for small items to an existing pegboard, not to outfit a bathroom from scratch.”
IKEA BASTIS Dog Tail Wall Hooks, Black, Pack of 5
The BASTIS five-hook set makes the most sense for bathrooms short on hanging points for towels, bags, or other lightweight items. Unlike the Skådis container, these hooks do not require a pegboard, so they can create storage directly on a suitable wall; unlike DRAGAN, they leave the counter clear. Their rounded, no-sharp-edge design is a useful choice for households where people move through a tight bathroom, and the hooks are adjustable. Installation still depends on selecting fasteners suited to the wall material, so this is not a tool-free solution like repositioning a Skådis container on its board. The listed maximum weight recommendation is 50 pounds, but the actual wall attachment needs to match the surface. I’d choose BASTIS for adaptable hanging, not for storing small loose items in a container.
Pros:- Five hooks provide several hanging points in one set
- No sharp edges suit busy bathrooms and tighter spaces
- Adjustable design adds flexibility to hook placement
- Suitable for drywall when mounted with appropriate fasteners
Cons:- Wall fasteners are not specified and must match the wall material
- Wall mounting may be unsuitable for renters or anyone avoiding holes
- Hooks cannot contain small items the way the Skådis container can
Best for: Households that need several wall-mounted hanging points and can choose suitable fasteners for their bathroom walls
Not ideal for: Renters who cannot make wall holes, or buyers who need enclosed storage for small items rather than hooks
- Brand:IKEA
- Model number:404.484.37
- Material:Synthetic rubber and polystyrene
- Color:Black
- Number of hooks:5
- Mounting type:Wall mount
- Maximum weight recommendation:50 pounds
- Item weight:20.68 g
- Care instructions:Wipe with a damp cloth; dry with a clean cloth
Our verdict“Choose BASTIS when you need multiple adaptable wall hooks and are prepared to select mounting hardware for your wall.”
IKEA Skådis Container, White
The Skådis Container is a focused way to keep toothbrushes, coins, or other small bathroom items within reach, especially when you already have a compatible SKÅDIS pegboard. Its tool-free attachment lets you move it as your storage needs change, while the powder-coated steel offers a sturdier feel than a simple open holder. Compared with the IKEA SKÅDIS 7-Piece Pegboard Accessories Set, this single container suits shoppers who need one dedicated catchall rather than a mix of hooks, clips, and a shelf. That simplicity is also its limit: it cannot organize towels or larger bottles, and it depends on the pegboard system. Choose it for small, loose essentials; skip it if you want freestanding storage or a broader organizer.
Pros:- Attaches and moves without tools
- Powder-coated steel construction
- Designed for bathroom use
- Compact container helps corral small loose items
Cons:- Limited capacity for larger bathroom items
- Requires a compatible mounting setup
- Offers less variety than the seven-piece SKÅDIS accessory set
Best for: SKÅDIS pegboard owners who want a movable spot for toothbrushes, coins, or other small bathroom essentials
Not ideal for: Shoppers without a compatible SKÅDIS pegboard, or anyone who needs storage for large bottles and bulkier items
- Brand:IKEA
- Material:Steel
- Finish:Powder-coated
- Color:White
- Capacity:2 gallons
- Item weight:5 ounces
- Model number:203.207.98
Our verdict“Choose this single container if you already use a SKÅDIS pegboard and need flexible storage for small essentials.”
IKEA SKÅDIS 7-Piece Pegboard Accessories Set, White
For a bathroom already set up with a SKÅDIS pegboard, this seven-piece set brings several kinds of storage at once: a container, shelf, hooks, and clips. That mix makes it more adaptable than the standalone IKEA Skådis Container, White, which only holds small items, and lets you rearrange accessories without tools as routines change. The 28 × 10 × 9 cm shelf adds a place for items that do not fit in the container, though the set’s stated maximum load is 2 kg, so it is not a choice for heavy bottles or bulky supplies. Its main catch is compatibility: without a SKÅDIS board, these pieces have nowhere to attach. I’d pick it for pegboard owners organizing several everyday essentials, not for bathrooms needing independent storage.
Pros:- Includes seven pieces across several storage types
- Accessories attach and reposition without tools
- Powder-coated steel construction
- Useful beyond the bathroom in other rooms
Cons:- Requires a compatible SKÅDIS pegboard
- Maximum recommended load is 2 kg
- The included assortment may be more than needed for shoppers seeking only one container
Best for: SKÅDIS pegboard owners who want a coordinated starter assortment for organizing small toiletries and accessories
Not ideal for: Renters or other shoppers without a compatible SKÅDIS pegboard, and anyone needing heavy-duty storage for large bottles
- Brand:IKEA
- Included components:2 clips, 1 container, 3 hooks, 1 shelf
- Compatibility:SKÅDIS pegboard
- Color:White
- Shelf dimensions:28 × 10 × 9 cm
- Maximum weight recommendation:2 kg
- Material:Steel with epoxy/polyester powder coating
- Installation:Tool-free
Our verdict“Pick this set if you have a SKÅDIS board and want flexible, mixed storage rather than a single container.”
How We Picked
I compared these accessories by the job they do in a bathroom: organizing the sink, storing small essentials, adding hanging space, or supporting routine cleaning. I prioritized everyday usefulness, fit with common bathroom layouts, ease of cleaning, and material practicality. I also considered whether a product can work on its own or depends on another item, since an accessory that requires a compatible wall system is a different commitment from a countertop essential.
The ranking favors pieces with a clear, broadly applicable purpose and fewer setup demands. That puts TACKAN first as a versatile sink pair, followed by SKÅDIS accessories for buyers who can use a pegboard system. More specialized or task-specific products rank lower, not because they lack a role, but because they suit narrower needs. The black and white SKÅDIS containers are treated as separate choices for finish and coordination, not as different storage solutions.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Best IKEA Bathroom Accessories
Before choosing accessories, I would map what actually causes friction in the bathroom: crowded counters, items with no home, limited wall space, or a cleaning tool that is awkward to store. These broader checks can prevent mismatched purchases and help you decide when a simple standalone item is enough.
Match the Accessory to the Clutter
Start by identifying what you want to move, rather than buying a set because it looks coordinated. A toothbrush holder addresses a narrow counter problem, while a pegboard system can organize several small items but asks you to plan a wall area. Measure the space around the sink and note which items need daily access. If the main issue is a single loose item, a larger storage system may add visual bulk without solving anything new. For shared bathrooms, prioritize accessories that give each person a clear place for essentials.
Check the Full Setup Before Choosing Wall Storage
Wall accessories can free up a counter, but compatibility and installation determine whether they are practical. Check whether you already own the mounting board or need to buy a separate component, and confirm that the wall location can support the arrangement. A modular system is useful when your storage needs change, yet it may be excessive for a bathroom with only a few small items. Renters should also think about mounting restrictions before choosing wall-mounted organization. Do not assume that a container or accessory includes every part needed for installation.
Choose Materials for Your Cleaning Routine
Bathrooms expose accessories to water, soap residue, and frequent handling, so the material affects upkeep as well as appearance. Glass can give a sink a clean, polished look, but it calls for more care around hard surfaces and busy households. Bamboo brings a warmer visual contrast, though it may need a different drying routine from a fully nonporous material. Smooth plastic is often easier to wipe down, but finish and color still affect how visible residue appears. Think about who cleans the bathroom and how often before favoring looks alone.
Measure Counter and Wall Space Together
A common mistake is to measure only the accessory itself and ignore how it changes movement around the sink or toilet. Leave room for taps, drawers, cabinet doors, and the items you already use every day. Wall storage can help when the counter is tight, but a crowded wall can make the room feel busier rather than more organized. For compact bathrooms, prioritize pieces that solve a specific storage problem without blocking access to cleaning supplies. A quick layout sketch can reveal whether a countertop holder or a wall-based approach fits better.
Pay for Flexibility Only When You Will Use It
A multi-piece organizer earns its place when you have several categories of small items to sort or expect your needs to change. If you only need a soap dispenser or a toothbrush holder, a standalone accessory avoids unused parts and extra setup. Consider whether future flexibility matters more than immediate simplicity, especially when choosing a system built around a separate mounting board. Coordinated finishes can make a bathroom feel intentional, but matching every item is less useful than choosing pieces that fit your routine. Let the problem you need to solve set the scope of the purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which IKEA bathroom accessory is the best place to start?
I would start with the item that removes the most daily friction, rather than buying several accessories at once. For a crowded sink, the TACKAN dispenser pair is a practical first step; for toothbrushes left loose on the counter, DRAGAN is more directly targeted. If your main issue is scattered small items, first check whether a SKÅDIS setup will fit your wall and whether you have the compatible board. A single well-matched accessory can show whether you need more organization. This approach also reduces the chance of adding clutter while trying to control it.
Do I need a pegboard to use the SKÅDIS accessories?
The SKÅDIS containers and accessory set are intended to work with the SKÅDIS pegboard system, so check the product setup and included components before buying. The seven-piece set offers more flexibility once it is mounted, but that flexibility depends on having a suitable board and location. If you want storage that works straight out of the package without planning a wall arrangement, TACKAN, DRAGAN, or BOLMEN are simpler standalone choices. Measure the available wall area and account for mounting before deciding. This is the biggest setup difference between the SKÅDIS picks and the rest of this roundup.
Should I choose the black or white SKÅDIS container?
The black and white containers serve the same basic storage role, so I would choose based on the room’s finishes and how much visual contrast you want. White can blend into pale tile or cabinetry, while black can read as a stronger accent against a light wall. Also think about what will sit inside: an open container makes its contents visible regardless of color. If you are building a larger pegboard arrangement, matching the container to other accessories can make the setup feel more unified. There is no need to choose both colors unless a mixed scheme suits the space.
Are glass or bamboo accessories a good choice for a busy family bathroom?
They can work, but the right choice depends on handling and upkeep. TACKAN’s glass dispensers offer a more polished sink appearance, while DRAGAN’s bamboo gives a natural finish; neither should be chosen without thinking about frequent splashes and cleaning. In a bathroom used by young children or many people, consider whether fragile materials and additional drying care fit your routine. Keep delicate accessories away from edges and high-traffic spots. If low-effort maintenance is the priority, choose an accessory whose material and shape are easy for everyone at home to clean.
Which option makes the most sense when I have very little bathroom space?
For limited counter space, a wall-based SKÅDIS arrangement may help, provided you can install the board and have enough wall area. If you cannot mount anything, choose one compact standalone item tied to a specific need, such as DRAGAN for toothbrushes or TACKAN for sink products. BASTIS can add hanging points, but its playful shape and intended lightweight use may not suit every small bathroom. Avoid buying multiple organizers before checking whether doors, drawers, and taps still have room to move. The best space-saving choice is the one that clears a real obstruction without creating a new one.
Conclusion
For most bathrooms, I recommend TACKAN as the best overall because its paired dispensers offer a useful sink upgrade without requiring a larger organizing system. Best value for a focused need goes to DRAGAN if toothbrushes are the main source of counter clutter, while best for beginners is BOLMEN for shoppers who want a simple, dedicated toilet-cleaning accessory. The best premium-style choice is the SKÅDIS 7-Piece Set for buyers who want a more flexible, coordinated storage setup and are prepared to plan around a compatible pegboard. For specific needs, choose the black or white SKÅDIS container to match your wall arrangement, or BASTIS when playful hooks for lightweight items suit your style. My overall advice: begin with the problem you want to solve, then choose the simplest IKEA accessory that addresses it.
