Bathroom mirrors: Functional bathroom accessories

Picking bathroom mirrors isn’t an easy choice to make. Tall, short, horizontal, with or without frames and with or without storage - bathroom mirrors come in a seriously wide variety of choices.

Make matters simpler by creating a three step filtering process:
1. Do you need bathroom mirrors with storage?
2. How big should the mirror be?
3. Do you like your bathroom mirrors to be part of the decor or purely functional?

Bathroom scales to monitor your health and well being

There’s no such thing as too much data, especially when it comes to what today’s bathroom scales can tell you. Are you drinking enough water? Do you need to eat more? Is your weight to height ratio optimal? Bathroom scales can tell you all this and more.

You can buy bathroom scales with analog or digital screens; some even come with memory cards that can track your family’s health over the years.

Bathroom accessories that go together: Shower caddies and shower screens

Placing shower caddies right under the shower head where the wall catches the most water and soap is not a good idea. Instead, look to hanging rust-proof shower caddies on shower screens that are relatively easier to clean.

Another option is a glass shelf or two placed close at hand to catch any extra shower accessories - especially breakable bottles that aren’t right for the shower caddies. If you prefer a bathtub to the shower, then a bathtub caddy is an equally good solution.

The catch-all laundry basket

Apart from being an obvious way to bring decor into your bathroom, the laundry basket is also incredibly functional. If you have a big enough space, opt for a laundry basket to match each type of linen or laundry load.

It’s always a good idea to have one big laundry basket in the master bathroom from where you can divide particulars in separate baskets in the laundry room.

Spa accessories: Diffuser and oil burner

Bring the spa home with a natural scent diffuser and oil burner (it’s all about unwinding!). Diffusers, especially reed diffusers, are a great organic alternative to synthetic air fresheners full of chemicals.

Your oil burner also works as an excellent diffuser, spreading earthy (tropical rain, anyone?) or warm spice fragrances throughout your bathroom.

It’s easier to decide which bathroom accessories to buy if you’ve settled on bathroom decor. Larger bathroom features such as shower screens are a great way of creating a canvas, which you can then elaborate with matching shower accessories. Smaller details like dispensers, a glass shelf, and shower caddies add to the charm and before you know it - you’ll be happy to spend a lavish evening at home in your very own spa.
