Honestly, the two toilets are ready to be used from day one, because HDB already provided the toilet bowl, the basin and the shower. So what I cover now will be the extra stuff you might want to use to fill your toilet with.
Shower head is still changeable. If you really don't like the HDB shower head, feel free to change to something else. I did spot a few nice ones out there, but decided to hold off buying a new head, since I have not even started using the one provided. So far, the HDB shower head is very functional, but does not have all the fancy features you can find outside.

Thinking of where to place that toilet roll holder. Since I'm a practical person, I picked one that offered some water protection from times when I need to wash the toilet. Honestly, I spent more time thinking where to place the holder than picking the holder. For both toilets, I picked places away from the shower and reachable from the bowl. This might surprisingly be difficult, depending on your toilet layout.
Take note of those red and blue tapes. Your bathroom will also have all those red and blue tapes to show you where the pipes are behind the walls. Make sure you take note of them, to avoid hitting them in the future.

Keep up with modern toilet designs by having a bidet spray. This is one thing I see in many homes. And it doubles up nicely as a water spray for times when you are washing your toilet. You will also need to buy a valve to control the water strength. They do not always come together.
Picking your shower rail and curtains. I recommend getting the GÖMMAREN shower curtain rod from IKEA. It's decent and with it's three rods, you get to choose the length and the shape. You might need to saw off part of the rod if the original lengths are not what you need. And if you don't like the curtain designs at IKEA, you can still buy the curtain from other places. One option that I have considered is buying an adjustable rail from Toyogo. It is good for those rails where you require a straight bar, placed between two walls. However, for my requirement, I needed a L-shaped bar, so I went with IKEA.
Of course you also need a place to hang your towels. Just make sure you have enough rails to hang everybody's towels. You will also enough space to place your clothes. One interesting option is to get railings where you can adjust the length. However, I always believe that the less moving parts there are, the less likely I need to replace them in the near future.
I always liked to have a little space above my basin to place stuff. Having a glass shelf above my basin, gives me a place to put my spectacles when I shower. It can also hold your toothpaste, facial creams, etc..
Mirror cabinet to provide a place to hide all your toiletries. I needed a place to keep extra toilet rolls so that one can get more rolls within the toilet when one runs out of paper. The cabinet also have all my spare tubes of toothpaste, spare facial wash and hair gel. It's a great idea to have some space in the toilet. I picked up two LILLÅNGEN mirror cabinets from IKEA.
Have a shower shelf to hold your soap and shampoo for easy access. In the corner of my toilet where the shower is, I have installed three metal shelves to allow me to stack in my shampoo and shower bottles.
I chose nice metallic shelving for the master bedroom toilet. After installation, one regret I have is that I did not space out my shelves far enough. I have one shower bottle that just barely squeezes into the shelf space.
For bathroom 2, I picked up one GRUNTAL Shelf set from IKEA when it was on discount.
