A bathroom feels complete when your tiles and bathroom accessories work together. Bathroom accessories are not just functional; they set the tone and style of the room. Tilemall offers a wide range of bathroom accessories, each designed to make daily routines easier while keeping your bathroom looking stylish. Here’s a guide to different types of accessories, what they do, and how to pick the right ones.
Towel Holders and Rails
Hand towel rings are perfect for small spaces near the basin, while double towel rails are better for family bathrooms because they give extra hanging space. In addition, towel ladders are stylish and modern, and they lean against the wall to save floor space. When you choose your towel holders and rails, just remember to pick a finish that works with your tiles.
For example, this Nero Mecca Brushed Yellow Gold Hand Towel Ring is suitable for a small bathroom, providing a luxury and classic feel. It’s compact but still gives you a place to hang your towels neatly, and the gold finish adds a touch of warmth to the space.
Single towel rails like Nero New Mecca Single Towel Rail are ideal for a larger space, with 600mm and 900mm sizes to choose from. You can place it near the shower or bath for easy access, and it works well if you like to keep your towels organised without taking up too much wall space.
Double towel rails can hang two or more towels, which is perfect for a family bathroom. They make it easy for everyone to have their own towel spot, and they help keep the bathroom looking tidy even on busy mornings. Plus, they come in different finishes so you can match them with your taps and other accessories for a coordinated look.
Robe Hooks
Don’t underestimate robe hooks. They are small but incredibly useful because they keep your robes or clothes off the floor. You can place them near showers or behind doors. In addition, choosing hooks in aged brass or brushed bronze adds a subtle touch of style while staying practical.
Toilet Brush Holders
Toilet brush holders might not be the first thing you think about when decorating your bathroom, but they can make a surprisingly big difference. Even a beautiful bathroom can lose some of its charm if the toilet brush holder looks out of place, so it’s worth taking a little time to pick the right one.
Toilet Roll Holders
Toilet roll holders might seem like a small detail, but they can actually make a big difference in how your bathroom feels. Nothing makes a bathroom look a bit drab or dated faster than a holder that doesn’t fit or has started to rust. A good toilet roll holder should be practical, easy to reach, and match the style of your other accessories. You can choose from wall-mounted or freestanding designs, and finishes like chrome, matte black, or brushed brass can help tie the whole look together. Don’t forget, even a small change like updating your toilet roll holder can make your bathroom feel fresher and more put together.
Shower Shelf
Shelves are more than storage - they can also add style. Metal shelves are excellent for holding toiletries, soaps, or even decorative items. Open shelves keep essentials visible but organised, and wall-mounted shelves make use of vertical space in smaller bathrooms.
Soap Holders and Dispensers
Soap holders and dispensers are small but noticeable. For example, wall-mounted ceramic holders or freestanding bottles in chrome, brass, or matte finishes can all work depending on your style. Don’t forget to match them with your taps and other fixtures so everything feels harmonious.
Colour and Finish Tips
The finish of your bathroom accessories can dramatically change the look of your space. For instance, chrome and stainless steel are timeless and go with almost any tile. Matte black adds a modern, bold contrast, especially with light or white tiles. Brushed gold, brass, or bronze warms up neutral, earthy, or stone-look tiles, while matte white or graphite works well in minimalist or Scandinavian-inspired bathrooms. However, it’s better to stick to one or two complementary tones because mixing too many finishes can feel messy. In addition, think about how each piece interacts with your tiles, taps, and overall style so everything looks like it belongs together.
If you are not sure about the colour, you can order a Colour Sample Plate on our website. It gives you a preview of 9 different options, including chrome, brushed yellow gold, aged brass, brushed bronze, brushed nickel, gunmetal, graphite, black, and matt white. This way, you can see how each finish looks in real life before making a decision. Previewing the samples makes it easier to match your tapware, showerheads, and accessories, so everything feels coordinated and stylish. It’s a simple step that can save you from guessing and help you create a bathroom look that really comes together.
How to Choose Accessories for Your Bathroom
Choosing bathroom accessories doesn’t have to be tricky. Start by thinking about what you really need. For example, a beautiful towel rack or soap holder is useless if it doesn’t fit your routine. Therefore, ask yourself how many towels you usually hang, what storage you actually need, and what’s easy to reach when you’re busy.
Next, look at your tiles. Because tiles set the mood for the whole room, let them guide your choices. For example, light tiles go well with dark or metallic accessories for a nice contrast. Dark tiles can be brightened with brass, gold, or white finishes to keep the space feeling fresh.
Don’t forget the size. Small bathrooms work best with wall-mounted accessories to save floor space and make the room feel bigger, while bigger bathrooms can handle freestanding pieces or larger shelves without feeling crowded.
Finally, remember to keep one style. If you mix too many different looks, it can feel messy. Whether you like minimalist, modern, or coastal vibes, keeping things consistent will make your bathroom feel planned and stylish.
