Bathroom Accessories

Bathroom accessory sets include everything from soap dispensers and toothbrush holders to shower curtains and wastebaskets. A coordinated set is the quickest, easiest way to add style to a bath. Most are made of plastic and are available in various colors and patterns. Some of the more stunning bathroom accessory sets are made of stainless steel or natural stone.

Easy to install, shelves instantly add more storage and interest to a bath. You can use them to store extra toiletries such as soap or shampoo. Depending on where you place them, they also make a great place to display art or collectibles. Choose wall shelves, floating shelves or shelving units.

You can always make space in a bath for a handy hook. Put one by the sink to hold a towel or by the shower for a bath brush. Hooks can be simple and plastic or ornate and metal. They come in an extensive variety in materials, designs and patterns. For a traditional look, consider white ceramic or go modern with sleek chrome or stainless.

Toilet paper holders can be wall mounted or be free standing. Choose the basic white or opt for a finish that complements the rest of your hardware. Chrome-plated steel is budget friendly but may not be as durable as ceramic. Ceramic is also easier to clean and maintain. Free-standing models can feature more intricate designs and come in rich finishes such as antique bronze.

Always a welcome sight after a shower, bath rugs increase the comfort and safety of bathrooms. The majority offer a skid-proof backing to help prevent slips and falls. Bath rugs are made of cotton, synthetics, chenille, bamboo and more. Available in numerous colors, they are also a must for style. Create a cozy look with plush shag. Add charm with a braided mat or get a glam look with faux fur.

Towel racks offer storage and a decorative accent. Every bath needs one, but it doesn’t have to be ordinary. You can go with a single, double or even triple bar. Choose an eye-catching finish or material such as matte black or an enameled steel. Imagine a gleaming gold or rustic copper look. Distinctive looks may require a higher upfront investment but can be well worth it.

Two of the most practical bath accessories can also be beautiful. Bathroom trash cans and toilet brushes are essential for keeping
a bath tidy and clean. Like other bath accessories, they come in a variety of sizes, finishes and materials. Choose a metal look to match your faucets or vanity hardware. Or select a color for your trash can that matches or contrasts with your tile or towels.

The right lighting can add both personality and function. Pendent lights and chandeliers look just as good off as on. You can add several in a cluster or distribute them through the space. Sconces and mirror lights bring beauty and illuminate tasks. Ceiling lights brighten up smaller, dark spaces. Recessed lights can also act as task light. Think about adding shower lights to make clean up easier.

Whether bath towels or hand towels, this is a must-have for any bathroom. Besides absorbance and comfort, towels add texture and color. Once you decide on the right set, consider different ways to display your towels. A towel rack or hook is a classic option. Think about stacking them on a shelf. Or rolling them up and placing them in a decorative basket. Display guest towels with fancy folds or in clever rings.

Easy to add and budget-friendly, shower curtains can be quickly changed out to refresh your look. Shower curtains block water and keep it off the floor. They usually come in a waterproof fabric like polyester or plastic. Cloth options require separate liners. From modern stripes to bold graphic patterns, shower curtains make a big impact. You can find shower curtains that will work with every style, from classic to coastal.

Decorative baskets and hampers are ideal for baths. Baskets can store towels, hold guest soaps, offer up extra tissue and more. You can find budget-friendly baskets in both real and faux woven looks. They come in enough sizes to fit even the smallest space. The natural texture and look complements the styles of most bathrooms.

Kids need a light-hearted space that makes bathing, getting dressed and brushing teeth easier. Choose a theme that both girls and boys can enjoy, like a day at the pool or the ocean. In addition to colorful soap dishes and shower curtains, get kid-friendly accessories. Suction hooks are a great way to hang towels at easy to reach levels. Step stools make it easier to wash hands and reach toothbrushes. Install closet door racks or hanging clothes basket for storage. Pop bath toys into stackable bins. Get a bath tray to hold bubble bath and other supplies.
