How to Select the Perfect Bathroom Accessories

Apr 25, 2013 | by Ron Newman posted in Bathroom Products

Bathroom accessories

When it comes to adding those final touches to your bathroom plans, don’t forget to consider your bathroom accessories. Bathroom mirrors, lighting, toilet tissue holders and other accessories can transform any bathroom into a spa paradise. Not sure what options to choose? Follow this step-by-step guide to learn how to select the best bathroom accessories for your needs.

1. Learn About Your Accessory Options

Grab Bars

Add beauty and safety to your bathroom. As the demand for Universal Design rises, so does the range of grab bar options. Stick to sleek simplicity for a contemporary look, or choose ornate curves for a traditional appearance.

Toilet Tissue Holders

These come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Metallic toilet tissue rods integrate seamlessly with most bathroom styles. Consider also a toilet tissue holder with a glass shelf for sophistication and storage.

Bathroom Mirrors

Simplify the appearance of a small bathroom and adorn the walls of a large bathroom. Bathroom mirror styles range from rounded to rectangular, simple to ornamental, and large to small.

Medicine Cabinets

These serve as a handy storage space for medicine and grooming materials. Some of today’s medicine cabinets also present advanced features, such as built-in TVs, night lights and electrical outlets.

Cabinet Hardware

Give your bathroom a new look with a little change. Bronze and pewter knobs dress up a traditional vanity, while steel, nickel and chrome pulls enhance a contemporary vanity.

Soap Dishes/Liquid Soap Dispensers

Streamline your bathroom design and prevent spills. Select a metallic soap dish or liquid soap dispenser for optimal ease and sturdiness.

Towel Holders

This is a stylish way to keep your towels organized. Towel bars, towel rings, and towel racks are the three different types of towel holders. If morning showers leave you cold, consider a towel holder with a built-in towel warmer.

Hooks

Make sure that your hooks are able to bear the weight of your bathrobe. Select a metallic hook for enhanced durability and elegance.

Lighting

Dramatically impact the appearance of your bathroom with lighting. Wall-mounted, track and accent lighting fixtures illuminate certain areas, whereas ceiling and recessed light fixtures light up the entire bathroom.

2. Assess Your Needs

Once you know what your accessory options are, it’s time to address your needs. Consider how you’d like to use your bathroom. What bathroom accessories are priorities for you and your family?

If you live in a multi-generational household, you may prioritize safety features, such as grab bars and bright lighting. If you’re constantly on-the-go,   you may prioritize convenient storage options, such as multi-functional medicine cabinets and heated towel holders. Making a list of your household needs will help you narrow down your bathroom accessory choices.

3. Decide Upon a Style and Finish

A breathtaking bathroom goes beyond coordinated plumbing fixtures. Don’t let bathroom accessory styling become an afterthought in the design process.

Whether you’re going for a traditional, contemporary, transitional, modern or eclectic look, it’s helpful to keep a few general rules of thumb in mind. For cohesive décor, match your bathroom accessories to your showerhead and faucet’s style and finish. If you’re planning to keep your bathroom the same style for a while, neutral accessories hold up better against the test of time.

4. Visit a Showroom

So, you’ve already assessed your needs and your stylistic intentions. You may need some assistance in narrowing down your final choices, or perhaps you want to view your chosen bathroom accessories in person. Visiting a Bath Showroom is the best way to ensure that the items you’re considering will look and feel the way you want them to.

For those in Illinois, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, visit a Crawford Supply Group showroom to view your bathroom accessory options. You can also set up a free Showroom Consultation with one of our knowledgeable team members.
