How to Choose
Begin by determining your style preference; country (shaker, country French, mission), casual/contemporary or traditional.
How do you ensure that your bathroom doesn't look cluttered? Take accurate measurements to establish the number and type of accessories you will need, and then select the finish that will coordinate with your décor, and your current faucet & fixture style and finish.
For instance, a master bath with double-bowl sinks will require a number of accessories compared to a small guest bath. Do you choose an 18-inch towel bar or a 24-inch towel bar, a towel ring, a double towel bar or single towel bar, or all three? Well-positioned towel bars provide storage close at hand and also offer a design element to hang colorful, coordinating towels.
There are other accessories that will help you to create order and keep counters clear. You could add a mounted paper holder or a free-standing style, vanity shelves, soap dish or a mounted toothbrush and tumbler holder. Remember to choose an accessory that matches the style and finish of your faucets for a completely coordinated look.
Proper Accessory Placement:
Towel Rings
Most often used in guest baths, towel rings are typically placed alongside the sink. Keep in mind that many of the new towel rings feature stylish designs, making them a beautiful focal point in a small bath. Be sure to hang the towel ring at a comfort level for those typically using the bath, including children or seniors. A good rule of thumb is to leave at least 18 inches below a towel ring so a hand towel can hang freely.
Towel Bars
Standard towel bar lengths are 18 and 24 inches. Hang the bar at a comfortable height of 48 inches above the floor, making sure to leave enough space below the bars for towels to hang freely. If the towel bar is hung in a children's bath, hang the bar at a height of 36 inches. In either case, be sure to consider the location of electrical switches and outlets when hanging your towel bars.
To add a stylish element to the bath, double towel bars are an ideal accessory. In addition, double towel bars are perfect for a family bath, as a number of towels can be hung on the accessory.
Paper Holders
Today's bath accessory collections include a variety of paper holder options, including traditional wall-mounted, spring-loaded styles; pivoting paper holders and free-standing paper holders. Determining the style for your bath is a matter of taste for example, a free-standing paper holder is ideal in a bath where you don't want to drill into tile or cabinetry.
Tooth Brush & Tumbler Holders/Soap Dish vs. Vanity Shelves
To ensure your bath looks organized and clutter-free, use only two-to-three counter accessories, such as a tooth brush holder, cup holder and soap dish.
For the small bath with a pedestal sink, choose mounted style accessories or a vanity shelf. Shelves can be a handy, space-efficient alternative to medicine cabinets and are also a good place to display decorative items, such as votive candles or potpourri.
Please follow the manufacturers mounting instructions for accurate and level placement. Some manufacturers offer installation templates to streamline the procedure.
