Review these ideas for hygge-lying up your bathroom. Try some of them if you have the stuff.

Cheering up your towels

- Tie holiday ribbons around guest towels for a hygge-ly feeling
- Mirrors double your lights-hang lights on the door across from your vanity. The reflection in the mirror will double the lighting. (Don't put electric lighting anywhere near your sink or water. That is a safety hazard.)
