The appropriate bathroom accessories can set the atmosphere, style and overall appearance of your space. They also add a sense of comfort and convenience to the area.
Choose materials that are resistant to moisture and bacteria, such as ceramic, plastic or stainless steel. These bathroom accessories are simple to clean and maintain for optimal hygiene.
Towel Racks
Towel racks are an efficient way to keep towels close at hand. Not only do they expedite drying time, but they also help your bathroom remain tidy and organized.
Depending on the size of your bathroom, you may be able to hang a towel bar, ring, or ladder rack. These are usually wall-mounted but you may also find freestanding models.
As a general guideline, towel bars should be strategically located near each sink and bath fixture. They typically look best on the longest wall in your bathroom and should extend as far horizontally as possible.
Other options include hooks and robe hooks, which can be mounted alone or in groups and fit better on short walls than towel bars do.
Soap Dishes
A soap dish is an indispensable bathroom item that adds both functional and decorative appeal. These accessories come in various shapes, styles, and materials to match your decor.
Wall-mounted soap dishes are an efficient way to prevent soap bars from drying out, and many of these styles mount securely to the wall with hardware. Furthermore, these dishes make it simple for you to keep your shower countertop clean and free from germs.
Dishes can be made from a range of materials, such as plastic, silicone, stainless steel and wood. Plastic is often chosen due to its affordability but tends to warp over time and may be difficult to clean thoroughly.
For an organic and rustic aesthetic, consider wooden soap dishes. These can be crafted from natural pine or other eco-friendly materials and are resistant to moisture – perfect for your home or as a thoughtful gift for someone special.
Brush Holders
Brush holders are an effective way to keep your bathroom hygienic and free from germs. With so many styles and materials available, you’re sure to find one that meets all of your requirements.
They are designed to securely hold the carbon portion of your brush in place and allow electrical contact with its commutator. This is essential, as it ensures that current can flow from the holder to the brush.
Additionally, brush holders must have consistent interior dimensions and a smooth finish to prevent obstructions from forming that could disrupt electrical contact between the brush and holder. This can be caused by rough handling, corrosion or contamination of the holder.
The length of a brush and its holder has an effect on its performance. Long brushes tend to have higher resistance than short ones, leading to distorted current flow between them and carbon which could result in arcing or increased wear.
Storage
Maintaining your bathroom accessories efficiently and neatly will save time and energy when getting ready. Furthermore, a clutter-free space will feel calmer and less chaotic.
Instead of keeping your blow dryer, curling iron, and straightener in a drawer or cabinet under the sink, give them a permanent home with an over-the-cabinet organizer. Not only does this take up no extra drawer space but it makes it simple to locate and use tools when you need them.
For a sleek aesthetic, Cathie Hong Interiors offers this narrow shelf. This glass-fronted unit boasts cool industrial vibes and provides ample storage space for items such as toiletry bags, makeup organizers or face towels.
Another way to maximize small-space storage is by installing custom-made shelves in an unused gap beside a door. Purchase narrow lengths of wood cut to size at your local DIY store and insert them into the gap; then secure them with mini shelf supports.
