Bathroom Accessories – Functional and Stylish
For bathroom accessories – both functional and artistic – you can personalize your bathroom. Give away counter space with a shower caddy or go with a nice vanity unit for toiletries and towels.
A must-have bathroom accessory, mirrors are part of interior design. Choose a frame shape that suits your style or go for Galvanized metal for anti-rusting.
1. Soap Dispenser
And soap dispensers help you clean hands and reduce soap waste, with a single pump or button click! Plus, unlike soap bars, dispensers are more hygienic since when you use the dispenser, you don’t use your hand to press the pump or button and avoid the spread of bacteria and viruses from person to person.
Most contemporary soap dispensers employ foaming process to convert liquid soap into rich lather that’s easier to wipe off, boosting the user experience and consumption/price in commercial/public settings. This increases customer happiness and lowers soap use/price in these environments.
Touchless soap dispensers equipped with intelligent sensors are a must-have feature in any bathroom as they reduce the spread of infectious diseases and make it easy to use without touching any area of the device – great for busy places where cleanliness is essential.
2. Towel Rack
Towel racks are great to display hand and bath towels without them getting caught on the floor and they’re a great way to store your towels. The size, material and color options can satisfy any type of bathroom theme.
The towel racks that are placed on the wall can be used as storage units too. Some have shelves for rolled-up piles of fresh towels; others allow you to rinse wet ones quickly. Other convenient storage that works in tight spaces is rolling racks.
For the diy enthusiasts, towel racks can be made. Remington Avenue is a bit creative and makes a great towel ring with an old porch baluster that had hooks as a bathroom towel ring, a cheap yet elegant towel ring. This is something Savvy Apron shows how to do in a similar easy fashion with an accordion coat rack in their towel rack DIY project – it will take you less than an hour from start to finish!
3. Toothbrush Holder
When toothbrushes dry on your sink and become the nursery for bacteria, a toothbrush holder is a must have to keep toothbrushes clean and organized. The best is something trendy, yet simple to maintain, look for designs with this.
Ngaio Parr, creative director and writer of the Some Things newsletter, places toothbrushes in her shower and medicine cabinet on cheap knobby hooks – “no one can tell it’s there” and she can get her brushes straight away!
Make a decorative statement with one of the chic holders from Kinto, tableware company Kinto. The social media strategist and content creator Utibe Mbagwu saw one on Instagram and liked its “savory interest”. She has it at hand, in case her Diptyque wash gets forgotten. You could also use its holes as a bud vase to store real or fake flowers, foliage, or accessories- saving on the counter space and adding an extra pop to any room!
4. Bath Toy Organizer
Toys give kids the chance to play for hours in the bath, but once the bath is over they need to be somewhere else. Toys left lying around the floor overnight will soon grow mouldy so bath toy basket is a bathroom requirement in every family house.
Some easy tricks include draping a pretty pail from command hooks or suspending a wire basket from a shower curtain rod, but another trick is to wrap an ordinary storage cube in fabric that goes with your bathroom theme – and use this cube for tub toys and so on!
A budget option is this suction-cup-hung mesh bathtub organizer with tough netting for fast drying bath toys – which helps avoid mold growth. Even parents can keep toys in a colander with lots of vents and holes for airflow.
