The Complete Guide: Bathroom Accessories

Bathroom accessories aren’t a luxury – they’re a necessity. In this bathroom accessories guide, we’ve rounded up a list of must-have accessories for every bathroom.

Ensure your bathroom looks the best it can by buying the right accessories that help you to keep clutter at bay. You can install most bathroom accessories within minutes and they are available in multiple styles and finishes.

 

Toilet Roll Holder

They might not be the most glamorous item on your accessory shopping list, but a toilet roll holder is essential for any bathroom! You may even want to include a spare loo roll holder, so you don’t have spare toilet rolls cluttering up your bathroom.

Toilet roll holders come in a variety of styles ranging from geometric shapes to smooth curves and elegant designs. Most feature a chrome finish that blends in easily with any bathroom décor such as taps and showers.

 

Bathroom Mirror

No bathroom is complete without a mirror or two. They’re not just invaluable for doing things like popping in your contact lenses or shaving, they can also give a smaller bathroom a greater feeling of space as they allow additional light to be bounced around the room.

 

Towel Rails and Towel Rings

Towel rails and towel rings are functional as well as decorative elements in your bathroom. Since they are available in a huge variety of styles, you have plenty of options to pick from to ensure it matches the rest of the fixtures and overall design of your bathroom.

The right placement of towel rails and towel rings makes a splendid visual impact. Install this bathroom accessory so that the towel is easily accessible to people getting out of the bath or shower.

When you install a towel rail or ring on the back of your bathroom door, make certain it will not hit the wall when you fully open the door as this can damage the wall.

A quick fix for this problem is to screw in a doorstop at the bottom of the door to prevent it from swinging open completely against the wall.

 

Robe Hook

There’s nothing better than feeling snug and cosy in a dressing gown/robe, so why not give yourself a place to hang it neatly rather than having to hook it over the door where it gets in the way? Robe hooks are small but incredibly practical and can be installed on your wall or even hooked over the back of your bathroom door.

 

Bathroom Bins

Bathroom bins are one of the most often overlooked but important bathroom accessories. They are smaller in size than standard household bins so they don’t take up too much space, making them perfect for family bathrooms and ensuites!

 

Bathroom Shelves

Bathroom shelves serve an invaluable purpose inside any bathroom, providing a platform for not only storage but décor as well. Typically positioned above the sink and below the mirror, bathroom shelves are home to bathroom essentials like aftershaves and toothbrushes.

Yet despite their somewhat humble purpose, they’re a fantastic instrument for manifesting your bathroom’s full potential.

Whatever your choice of bathroom design, we’re confident our range of bathroom shelves will allow you to add those finishing touches that create bathroom perfection.

 

Soap Dishes and Dispensers

The most annoying thing about using a bar of soap is storing it. Soap scum left on the side of a sink or bathtub can look unsightly and requires consistent cleaning.

Fortunately, a soap dish will keep any wet soap away from your bathroom features, avoiding soap scum.

Alternatively, you may opt for a soap dispenser. Soap dispensers can make washing your hands a lot easier. Using a soap dispenser makes washing your hands more economical because the amount of soap you use is regulated, thus eliminating any waste.

If you choose a soap dispenser ensure to buy one that holds enough soap to last for at least a week for your family

 

Tumblers

Bathroom tumblers are a great place to keep your toothbrushes, toothpaste, or simply a handy cup you can use for rinsing after brushing your teeth! Generally, they sit in a wall-mounted holder, or you can buy standalone tumblers that sit on your basin edge or a shelf.

 

Grab Bars

Grab bars, also known as grab rails, are assistive products that are practical and durable. They are ideal for the safety of the elderly and disabled.

You can greatly increase bath safety by installing grab bars or handrails for disabled people in your bathroom. This permanent bathroom fixture provides both stability and confidence.

Grab bars are available in different lengths and different materials such as chrome, stainless steel and plastic. Chrome grab bars are inexpensive, durable and easy to clean.
