It’s the little things — like lemon verbena–scented bath salts and decorative seashells — that make your day. And look what else the Web brought in. (See a larger photograph of this room.)

1. Cotton-Duck Shower Curtain

www.finelinenandbath.com, $120
A good source for hard-to-find shower curtains (like this block-printed one by designer John Robshaw), as well as bath, bed, and table linens by such companies as Sferra and Anichini. The site also offers free swatches and free advice on how to choose linens to complement a room.

2. Beechwood-Fiber Bath Towels

www.branchhome.com, $48 each
This well-designed site sells ultrasoft color-saturated bath towels, linens, and home accessories, many made in eco- and labor-friendly ways.

3. Madison Bathroom Storage Unit with Adjustable Shelves

www.homedecorators.com, $139
Dive into this site’s giant selection of furniture and accessories and come up with well-priced, traditional-looking pieces, like the painted linen cabinet shown here. Watch for frequent sales.

4. Bath Salts

www.inthebathroom.com, from $5 for a two-ounce packet
Shop here for small indulgences, like bitter-orange and lemon-verbena bath salts, exotic room fragrances, seductive candles, and other items (mainly beauty products) you won’t find at the mall.

5. Immortal Chinese Elm-and-Cypress Stool

www.wisteria.com, $179
New, antique, and artfully weathered imports from around the world, including this mid- 20th-century Chinese stool, make up the website of Wisteria, a Dallas-area shop. Navigating the site is especially easy.

6. Cotton Bath Rug

www.scheuerlinens.com, $145
Thick towels and plush bath mats come to this site for “linen snobs” by way of a storied 72-year-old San Francisco shop of the same name. The owners lean toward labels like Yves Delorme, Matouk, and Cuddledown and try out each product before offering it for sale online. Shipping is free.

7. Laminated Tray

www.decorativethings.com, $70
Who knew you could make so much from laminated fabric (butler’s trays, wastebaskets, and even dustpans)? At this cheery site, each product is shown with its own menu of patterns to choose from, such as houndstooth, stripes, and florals. Lamination not your thing? Check out the inexpensive paper napkins and guest towels.

8. Seashells

www.seashellcity.com, from 30 cents each
This site offers seashells from shores far and wide. Informative captions make browsing border-line educational. (So that’s a Melongena pugilina!) Orders are accompanied by a free gift, like a shell necklace or a glass sand dollar.

9. Scented Candle

www.shanghaitang.com, $30
For an instant infusion of contemporary Chinese wit and style, try one of the seductive accessories sold on this site, an offshoot of the Shanghai Tang chain of department stores, heralded for eclectic Asian imports.

10. Seashell Soaps

www.uncommongoods.com, $28 (including apothecary jar)
This source, best known for items made of recycled materials, raises the bar on bar soaps. Their unexpected shapes (fortune cookies, frogs) make them fun conversation pieces and ideal hostess gifts.
