You’re looking for a unique way to create a comfortable but warm atmosphere in your bathroom and a little paint just won’t do the job so now where do you turn? Paint is just the beginning of the overall design and it gives you a place to work from. Once the paint is on then you can step back and take a good look at where you want to go next in your design plans. Most people automatically assume that the bathroom vanity is not too much of a problem when creating their theme. But in actuality it plays a major role in the entire project. Checking your appearance in the mirror is almost an automatic response for most people. You could even go so far as to say it is a habit. People are so self-conscience about their appearance. You can be sure that the more elaborate your mirror design is the more admiration you will get from your guests. This holds especially true if you match it well with a very elaborate bathroom vanity. Don’t forget to place the mirror at a general eye level for most guests out of convenience. For the most part you have control over many of the large pieces of furniture in the bathroom. But the bathroom vanity is one thing you have ultimately total control over. While bathroom fixtures such as a toilet or bath tub are relatively set because of water line and drain placement. This makes them harder to move. A mirror is generally used when people want to add their own personal touch to their bathroom. This is considered a very important addition to your bathroom because it is one thing that every guest sees and focuses on. When you decide to use a warm theme for your bathroom, your best bet is to choose a bathroom vanity that contains some type of wood trim. This style will coordinate very well with all of the earth tones and it will also give you complete control over your entire bathroom design you’re your up for it you can even personalize it more with a vast selection of shades of wood. For instance, if you choose a darker wood stain for the trim color then you may be best served by accenting the room with reds and greens. Another thought when designing your bathroom is that you could use a natural stained wood floor. When you match the color of the bathroom vanity with your flooring it will create a natural feel and add warmth to your bathroom. You could even consider adding wood towel racks or other wood accents to your bathroom. You can set the accents on wood or glass shelves next to the mirror above the bathroom vanity. These accents will help add a warm touch to your overall bathroom design. Personal touches added to the bathroom vanity and the mirror will help create the type of bathroom that will be inviting to anyone. Also by doing this your guests will feel welcome and want to visit a lot more. Always remember to make the bathroom theme come together as one whole element.

Mixing Bathroom Accessories
December 16th, 2009Choosing bathroom accessories such as knobs and robe hooks is not easy. You have a selection from Dove, Musa, Antique, Aranjeuz, Austin, Barcelona, Cabin, Belvedere, Cameo, Channel, Cannes, Catalina, Chenille and more to select. City Temple, Contessa, Cosmopolitan, Dominic, Designer, Drop and Elizabeth created a nice line of knobs and robe hooks as well.
When choosing knobs and hooks your best bet is to reduce your options. For instance, do you like gold? Do you like gold combined with chrome? Would your prefer decorative styles? Do like the mirror look? Considering your taste, style etc can help you narrow down your choice.
In addition, you want to consider your bathroom. Do you have a country setting? Do you have a regal bath? Is your bath Victorian Style? Are you purchasing knobs and hooks for a kid bathroom? What colors and patterns are in your bathroom?
If you have regal or master bathroom you may like the gold knobs and hooks. Jas has a nice line of knobs and hooks. Jas made the creative gold robe hooks, which go well with a variety of colors. You might have a wall mirror, glass cub, hooks, shelves, and racks in the background of your bath area. In this instance, I would reconsider the gold, unless you have gold trimmings around your bathroom accessories.
If you have gold trimmings, the gold will look great. If you do not have gold trimmings, you may want to add a few other bathroom items. For instance, you can purchase gold bath bars, gold-trimmed holders made of glass, gold and glass soap dish, bath tissue holders, vanity glass shelves trimmed in gold and so on. Toss in a gold towel ring and you are off to a good start.
How do I choose knobs and hooks for antique bathrooms?
If you have an antique environment, you may like Pacifica’s line of bathroom accessories. Antique shades, tones, etc could benefit from the oil rub bronze hooks. Satin nickel will also go well in antique bathrooms. Toss in a Bronze Oil Rub ring, antique white soap dish and toothbrush holder, and perhaps a vanity glass mirror and there you have it.
The rustic gold are nice items that go well in antique environments. The Antique Bronze Burn shades are nice as well. Toss in a rustic, bronze, or antique vanity glass shelf and your patterns will blend well. In addition, you can add a bath tissue holder; towel ring/bar and you are off to enhance your antique bathroom.
Aranjeuz makes a nice line of products, which you could blend in antique regions. It depends on your style, yet you could blend the gold trim with chrome polish hooks to set off an antique atmosphere. The brush nickel mixed with gold is nice as well.
How do I choose modern patterns and colors?
Dominic collections have a nice selection of hooks. You may like the chrome polished items designed by German crafters. Wind has a nice selection of modern designs as well.
How do I choose bathroom accessories for Victorian baths?
Victorian style baths often benefit from Satin Nickel shades, brass and chrome polish, and so on. Victorian style is designed to bring home legends of the past. Victorian also honors the traditional patterns. Most Victorian bathrooms can benefit from the shades listed, as well as other items that offset porcelain. If you have a Victorian bath, it’s likely you have porcelain tubs and sinks, which you want to match the colors when searching for bathroom accessories.
