Top tips for installing bathroom fixtures

Bathroom accessories are more essential to the functionality of the room than the accessories found in almost any other room in the house, perhaps with the exception of the kitchen. The location of these accessories is also very important, as they really need to be well adjusted and very close to the luminaire with which they are associated. So what are the best tips for installing and fitting these fixtures to make sure the bathroom works properly?

Your towel rack should always be placed near your bathroom or shower stall for two reasons, the first is that you don’t want to reach too far to get a towel when your feet are wet as you may slip and injure yourself and the second is that you don’t want to have to get out of the bath or shower and wet the floor. If you have a large bathroom, you can install two towel racks, one near the bathtub and the shower.

Ideally, place the toothbrush holder next to the sink where you clean your teeth. This makes the job of cleaning your teeth a lot easier and will encourage you to wash your toothbrush after use, which is important to minimize the spread of germs and bacteria from your mouth.

You should also look to place your hand towel rack near your sink so it doesn’t drip or splash water onto your bathroom floor after you’ve washed your hands.

The last accessory to place in your bathroom is the toilet paper holder which obviously should be placed near the toilet, but like the import it should be placed at a height that is convenient for everyone in the household. This is especially important if you have young children, as it can be very dangerous for a young child to overreach while sitting on the toilet.

If you take note of the above tips you should never have any problem with the placement of your bathroom accessories.

Choosing the best look for your bathroom can be hard work. Bathroom trends change so quickly that if you’re not careful, you could end up spending a lot of money to completely remodel and redesign your bathroom only to find that it’s outdated and not keeping up with the latest bathroom look. While ideally no one wants to be in this situation, there are things you can do to minimize the effect of this problem if it does arise. The answer could be as simple as your décor or the accessories you choose.

As with most rooms in the house, the more you decorate your bathroom, the sooner it will become outdated, so by keeping decorations to a minimum, you should be able to extend the life of your bathroom without having to redecorate.

A basic neutral color scheme is the best option when it comes to decoration, but these can look a bit boring, so add to this scheme by also adding some accessories to your bathroom that can be easily changed. It’s easier to change your bathroom fixtures than it is to redecorate your competition bathroom.

The same rule applies to your bathroom accessories as it does to your bathroom decor, keep it clean and simple. A plain or brushed chrome finish is always a smart neutral look, but you can still make an impact if you choose a quality designer accessory brand.

These simple tips can help you maintain a look in your bathroom that will take a while to look dated and tired.
