Using your distinct sense of style, you can replace the common yet unsightly hardware with something more stylish. If you're looking to jazz up your bathroom, we recommend starting by replacing your toilet bolt covers.

Jewels for the Loo also has seashell toilet bolt covers available from their shop. But, they look a lot different from the ones in the previous section. They are quite minimalistic and perfect for a bathroom that needs a facelift. Their shape isn't all that different from traditional toilet bolt covers, but their attractive glaze and swirling design make them an attractive sight.

The starfish is another somewhat minimalist option. It features a round shape with perfectly placed sea stars that cover the ugly bolt beneath it. Reviews of the starfish toilet bolt caps indicate that they are a bit heavy, so you should handle them with care to avoid any accidental chipping.
