Bathroom Planning - Bathroom Accessories
Permanently fixed bathroom accessories like mirrors, cabinets, shelving, towel rails, Wall mounted soap dish and toilet roll holders are available in a wide range of materials and colours to complement your bathroom. Whether made of plastic, glass, wood or metal, they are the final touch that puts the seal on its style. Metal bathroom accessories are available in a range of finishes from brass through to gold, including new and antique looks. For me though, chrome is the classic bathroom finish. As it resists tarnishing better than any other metal, it is a particularly good choice for taps, plugs, shower heads and mixers, and it's only logical to choose fixed bathroom accessories to match, even down to a funky radiator. Whatever the style, a chrome finish is reliable and ageless; it stays clean and bright for years and buffs up beautifully with a soft cloth.
One of the most important bathroom accessories is the bathroom cabinet, where you can tidy away your toiletries, medicines etc. There are now some really ingenious storage ideas, from revolving bathroom cabinets that present a bathroom mirror on one side while hiding all your secrets behind slatted shutters on the other side, to cabinets where the contents slide out at a touch. Most cabinets now incorporate some form of lighting and some also include a shaver switch. If you don't have room for a mirror and a cabinet, make sure you buy a mirror-fronted bathroom cabinet
Storage can also be created beneath the wash basin, even a sit-on type. Where space is limited, a fitted bathroom not only hides the plumbing but also provides masses of storage, including around baths.
