Soap dispenser

That plastic dish soap bottle next to the tap: practical, but far from beautiful. A refillable soap dispenser looks tidier on your counter or sink, and you're not constantly throwing away empty bottles. Refilling from a large container eventually saves both plastic and money.

For the kitchen, the glass set of two is handy: one for hand soap, one for dish soap. If you don't want to drill but still want to keep the sink clear, the wall-mounted dispenser hangs neatly on the wall. If you like a warm look, the bamboo set is beautiful. A small drawback of glass: it's slightly more fragile than plastic – so place it carefully on a smooth, wet edge.

Matches the rest of your bathroom beautifully. Also check out the adhesive hooks for hanging without drilling, or the entire bamboo collection for a consistent style.
