Bathroom Accessories and Finishing Touches

Finishing off a bathroom with individual objects, that add your personality and taste, is an enjoyable and relaxing end to the mess and hassle of your project. It is sometimes a disappointment that this part of the project can be left indefinately and not given any importance. Like good tiles it is necessary to spend the right amount of money to get good objects. Cheap accessories and bad art are not good investments, so choose wisely.

Mirror options

Mirror choices

Mirror choices are very good for bathroom use, if you include bespoke and to-order options. Bathroom standard range mirrors are more limited ,and can be tacky and small scale . Etched finishes can be interesting if kept simple. Bevelled glass is always stylish if used with framed edges. Integrated shelf options are useful if low level storage is limited.

Lights and shaver sockets

Mirrors are also available with integrated lighting and shaver sockets. Bathroom ranges provide various options with striplighting and individual light types. Other light options are in my lighting section in step 24.

HIB Mirrors

De-mist pads for condensation problems

This is a useful option that does require elctrical connection but does solve a problem when there is excessive condensation (most bathrooms).

Pad 1 . pad 2

Mirror radiators

An interesting and cute way to combine two large items ie a full length mirror and tall radiator. It can be expensive but hey!!

Acova Radiators . Radiator Company

Mirror cabinets

A neat way to hide a cabinet and have it where you need it. The choices are improving rapidly, luckily, I have left this item out often because I have hated the choices for too many years, unless using bespoke options.

Accessories

Towel rails

Normal towel rails are still a popular choice for bathrooms where there is a normal radiator that is being retained. Rails tend to be coordinated to match the accessory choices.

Hansgrohe rails . Vitra rails . Samuel Heath rails . Ultra rails . ZiggiZiggi railsImperial Bathrooms rails

Soap holders

These can be either fixed to the wall or freestanding on your sink or worktop. Again these are normally co-ordinated to match other bathroom items as a set.

Toilet roll holders

These are straight forward, again being freestanding or fixed. Available as matched sets or individual purchases.

Kholer . Bristan .John Sydney . Heritage . Hansgrohe

Toothbrush holders

A good alternative to a glass on the sink, but often bought and ignored.

Waste bins

A useful and often ignored item which ends up on the floor some where. These can be integrated into units if planned ahead, but there is always a limited choice of options for placing this item in small bathrooms.

Waste Bin . Waste bin

WC cleaning brush

Available as wall hung or freestanding and can be a a bulky item that is better hidden unless combined with toilet roll holders.

Rhoper Rhodes . John Lewis . Hansgrohe

Clothes baskets

A large item that again can end up being ignored and stood in the corner if you do not plan ahead. It is an item I have integrated into fitted furniture but not very often.

Vipp . John Lewis. Twenga

Prints and paintings

I always think think that there is a place for art in any room (except a sauna ). So I have included art prints and paintings as a viable bathroom choice. I have always actively finished bathrooms with individual prints and objects to finish them off.

Davidson Gallerys . B Quay Art . Old Print Shop . Multi-media

Ceramic art

Again if there is a shelf or worktop I will put art or ceramics on it. There is always the opportunity to add personal taste to any room when the designer as gone.

Venitian blinds

If it is necessary to gain privacy and add interest, then Venitian blinds are available in some interesting metal and colour choices, The micro options are favourite with modern bathrooms providing a more contemporary feel.

Tuiss . Luxaflex

Roman blinds

This is a more elegant and interior furnishing type option. The options are very good for style and fabric choices. The use of this solution is best left to larger bathrooms with good ventilation.

Roman Blind Studio . Campbell Creation

Soap and toiletries

This is a dressing item that adds colour and fragrance, and always seems to finish off a bathroom.

Natural Glycerine Soap . French Soap . Gingers Garden
