Accessorize Wise
Putting the final touches on your bathroom is like accessorizing a chic dress. "Less is more", is the rule of thumb. Choose several well-made, co-ordinated pieces to make a strong style statement and fill your basic needs for bathroom efficiency.
Bathroom accessories include such items as a soap dish, soap dispenser, toilet roll holder, toilet brush, waste basket, towel rails and rings, and robe hook, to name a few!
Try to match the accessories with the faucets, door knobs, and lighting hardware so that they enhance the room without chopping it up too much. If you have silver faucets and doorknobs, for example, go with silver shower and towel rods. Putting gold and silver together is not the best idea because they both lose their vibrance when in competition with each other.
Keep in mind the fact that the bathroom, although serving functional roles for your comfort, hygiene, and grooming, should also be inviting and relaxing. If you have more than one bathroom to accessorize, try to keep the styles you choose in harmony with each other.
An accessory that is very popular in Europe and which is starting to catch on here is the toilet roll caddy. A waterproof bath alarm is a great idea for those who love to soak in the tub and maybe fall asleep! Shower seats are showing up more and more because they offer stability to those not as steady on their feet, and safety when shaving or exfoliating in the shower. Consider a shower mirror for watching not to nick your skin when shaving!
While you're checking out the tumbler and toothbrush holder keep in mind the choice of a high performance toothbrush, made from recycled yogurt cups, with packaging that doubles as a carrying case. Preserve your health. Preserve the earth. In all aspects of accessorizing your bathroom, be wise. You can make a difference.
