Contemporary Bathroom Accessorising Tips

When you are planning a bathroom update it goes without saying that the suite is one of the key factors that you must get right in order to achieve that contemporary look. Selecting an appropriate colour scheme and the right materials for the floor and wall is equally as important.

However, it is the smaller details that really finish off the décor of a new bathroom design and you should not neglect the importance of finding the right accessories.

Here we take a look at five bathroom accessories that many overlook, but that can really add some charm to your bathroom design.

Contemporary Bathroom Accessorising Tips

1. Tumbler Holder

You might initially think of a tumbler holder complete with tumbler as being somewhat of a traditional bathroom accessory rather than contemporary. Indeed, these smaller accessories have been ignored in contemporary bathroom designs in recent years; with homeowners looking for a minimalist look.

However, 2012 has seen a swing back towards designs with a little more character and tumbler holders certainly assist in achieving this goal. Look to pick out a tumbler that fits in with the colour scheme of your bathroom, perhaps matching it to the shade of your towels.

2. Bottle Trap

Bottled soap has become a common site in bathrooms in both commercial and residential settings. Whereas in a commercial setting the soap tends to be attached to a wall mounted bottle trap, homeowners usually position the soap bottle directly on the sink top. However, the look isn’t particularly elegant and can make the sink area look untidy.

Fixing a bottle trap over the basin will add some nice detail to the sink area, whilst also making it more user-friendly. Don’t be put off by the fact that most bottle traps in the commercial setting are made from plastic, as there are many designer models available on the market made from chrome that will look great.

3. Wall Mounted Soap Dish

The soap dish, like the tumbler holder, is a typically traditional bathroom accessory. If you have opted for a bottle trap then you will not require a soap dish in the sink area. Of course; bottled soap is not commonly used when bathing and the classic soap bar is still king.

A wall mounted soap dish will add to the elegance of the bathroom and also ensure that you don’t have to waste time searching for the soap when, it invariably slips from the side of the bath and into the tub. It is a good idea to position the soap dish towards the bottom of the bathtub, so that it does not get in the way and also to reduce the chances of it being damaged.

4. MP3 Mirror

Experience tells us that many people love to listen to music whilst in the bathroom; whether it is some upbeat tunes to get us ready for the day ahead as we have a quick shower, or some more relaxing vibes as we have a well-deserved soak at the end of the day. The emergence of MP3 players has made this much easier and many will simply listen straight from their device or place their docking station in the room.

If you are really into your music then you may crave a superior experience than can be offered by portable devices; in which case an MP3 mirror is the answer to your problems. Complete with touch screen capabilities and digital display, these handy little accessories deliver fantastic functionality whilst providing an ultra-modern style statement.

5. Tissue Dispenser

Our final suggestion when it comes to your bathroom accessories is to consider installing some tissue dispensers. These items can be positioned near any mirrors and look much tidier and stylish than a box of tissues. Not only are they a handy addition, but will also go a long way to creating a spa look in your bathroom design.
