Bathroom accessories are more essential to the functionality of the room than the accessories that we find in almost any other room in the house, perhaps with the exception of the kitchen. The placing of these accessories is also really important as they really need to be well fitted and in close proximity to the fixture that they are associated with. So what are the best tips for fitting and placing these accessories to make sure that the bathroom is fully functioning?
Your towel rail should always be placed close to your bath or shower cubicle for two reasons, the first being that you do not want to be over stretching to get a towel when you have wet feet as you may slip and injure yourself and the second is that you do not want to have to step out of the bath or shower cubicle and wet the floor. If you have a large bathroom you may wish to fit two towel rails, one near to both the bath and the shower.
The toothbrush holder should ideally be placed next to your wash basin in which you clean your teeth. This makes the job of cleaning your teeth much easier and will encourage you to wash out your toothbrush after use which is important to minimise the spread of germs and bacteria from your mouth.
You should also look to place your hand towel rail near to your wash basin so that you are not dripping or splashing water on your bathroom floor after you have washed your hands.
The final accessory to place in your bathroom is the toilet roll holder which quite obviously should be placed near the toilet but just as import should be placed at a height that is convenient for all people in the home. This is especially important if you have small children as it can be very dangerous for a small child to over reach whilst sat on the toilet.
If you take note of the above tips you should never have any problem with the placing of your bathroom accessories.
Choosing the best look for your bathroom can be a difficult job. Bathroom trends change so quickly that is you are not careful you could find yourself spending a lot of money to totally remodel and redesign your bathroom to find that it is dated and not keeping up with the latest bathroom look. Whilst ideally no one wants to be in this situation there are things that you can do that will minimise the effect of this problem if it does arise. The answer could be as simple your decor or the accessories that you choose.
As with most rooms in the house the more that you decorate your bathroom the sooner it will get dated so if you keep the decor to a minimum you should be able to get a longer lifespan from your bathroom without having to redecorate.
A basic neutral colour scheme is the best option when it comes to decorating but these can seem a little boring so add to this scheme by also adding a few accessories to your bathroom which can be easily changed. It is easier to change your bathroom accessories rather than redecorate your compete bathroom.
The same rule applies to your bathroom accessories as to the decor of your bathroom, keep it neat and simple. A brushed or plain chrome finish is always a smart neutral look but you can still make an impact if you choose to go for a quality designer brand of accessory.
These few simple tips can help you keep a look in your bathroom that will take a while to look dated and tired.
