Replacing your bathroom accessories is one of the quickest and most simple ways to update your bathroom's style.

Or organize your bathroom essentials beautifully with a stylish medicine cabinet or a simply beautiful high-quality bathroom vanity.
Choices Are PlentifulFaucet.com offers a wide variety of new and innovative design options for the bath. In addition to the popular chrome and polished brass finishes, new unique styles in oil-rubbed bronze, contemporary designs in brushed chrome, dramatic wrought iron finishes, brilliance stainless, pearl nickel and more, provides something for everyone’s design style.
How to ChooseHow 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 two sinks will require more accessories than a small guest bath. An 18-inch towel bar or a 24-inch towel bar, a towel ring, a robe hook and paper holder are good places to start. Towel warmers are a wonderful and surprisingly inexpensive addition to a master bath. 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 paper holder, 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 BarsStandard 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 HoldersToday'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.
Please follow the manufacturers mounting instructions for accurate and level placement. Some manufacturers offer installation templates to streamline the procedure.
