Bathroom
accessories should be an integral part of the bathroom remodeling project and
consequently should be fully thought out during the bathroom remodeling planning
stage. Too often bathroom accessories are an afterthought in the remodeling
project and thus the finished bathroom looks like a mishmash of uncoordinated
wall, floor, and towel colors and patterns. The wall coverings, flooring, and
towel colors and pattern should be coordinated such that they complement each
other as well as the bathroom plumbing fixtures.

Another
aspect of bathroom accessories that needs to be thoroughly considered in the
bathroom remodeling stage is the actual placement and location of towel and
toilet paper racks. Frequently there is insufficient wall space to support
an appropriate number of towel racks. And sometimes you wind up finding a
toilet paper rack out of hands reach of the toilet. By planning ahead these
types of bathroom accessories can make the bathroom more functional. |
Bathroom lighting is
another major bathroom accessory that is not fully considered in many bathroom
remodeling projects. It is important to have both room and spot lighting in the
bathroom. A central overhead room light that includes a bathroom exhaust fan
should be the starting point in the bathroom lighting design. Second, spot
lighting over the sink should be considered. Spot lighting should include
consideration of wall lighting, sconces, incandescent lights and/or halogen
lights. Finally, lighting above or near the bathtub and shower unit should be
considered. Too frequently bathroom remodeling jobs are completed with little to
no lighting over the tub/shower unit. Don’t find yourself in the dark when
taking a shower.

The use of
mirrors is another major bathroom accessory that is frequently left to the last
minute. Besides allowing you to see yourself when putting on your makeup or
doing your hair, mirrors can help make a small bathroom look larger and help to
diffuse the bathroom lighting. So consider mirror size, style and locations
when planning your bathroom remodeling project.
Finally,
window treatments are an extremely important bathroom accessory. Window
treatments play both a functional and aesthetic role in your bathroom. Window
treatments can help to provide privacy as well as complement the wall and floor
patterns. Again, it is important to pick colors and styles that coordinate well
with the wall, floor and towel colors and patterns.
So before
you kick off your bathroom remodeling project, make sure you have fully thought
out the use, type and locations of the various, and necessary bathroom
accessories.
