Spotlight On: Basin Accessories
If you’re fitting vanity units and basins for your customers, then they’ll also need accessories to complete the space. At Tradeshack, we supply a variety of quality basin accessories and related items for great-value prices. Read to the end of the blog to find out more about what we offer.
What are basin accessories?
Basin accessories are essentially those items which are designed to complement and enhance the functionality and aesthetics of a bathroom basin and include everything from soap dispensers to towel hooks. They not only enhance the space aesthetically, but also usually provide essential functions.
Common basin accessories include:
Soap dishes: Perfect for preventing bars of soap from sliding around, dishes can be wall-mounted or placed to the side of the basin, keeping the space tidy as well as functional.
The Eliseo Ricci Vesu Wall-mounted Soap Dish in Brushed Brass is a stylish soap dish with a luxury brushed brass finish which will add subtle warmth and elegance to the basin area. It can also be paired with matching brushed brass accessories and has a clear glass dish which sits on top of the brass holder.
Soap dispensers: If your customers prefer a standing soap dispenser instead of a wall-mounted soap dish then these can be placed to the side of the basin.
Toothbrush holders: The perfect way to keep toothbrushes and other dental hygiene products within easy reach while also keeping the basin tidy, toothbrush holders can again be wall-mounted or placed to the side of the basin. The ER Noir Tumbler Holder and Cup is a wall-hung black tumbler holder featuring a modern squared design and comes with a white ceramic cup.
Towel hooks/holders: Fitting a towel hook at the side of a vanity or beside the basin is a handy way to keep towels or washcloths close by while also ensuring that the space remains tidy.
At Tradeshack we also supply accessory bundles, so you can purchase a towel hook, for instance, as part of these, if your customer wants a matching set.
The Vesu Mini Brushed Brass Accessory Bundle from Eliseo Ricci includes a robe hook, towel ring and toilet roll holder – all in the same brushed brass finish – so this is a great-value bundle which provides a number of key items in one handy package.
Trays or organisers: These can be placed on the countertop or inside drawers to organise smaller items like makeup, toiletriews, or hair accessories.
Shelving or cabinets: Installed above or beside the basin area to provide additional storage for towels, toiletries, or cleaning supplies, shelves and cabinets are a handy accessory to add around vanities. For example, the Croydex Flexi Fix Glass Shelf in Matt Black can be mounted to the wall directly above the basin, while a cabinet such as the Bella LED Mirror Cabinet with Double-doors and Shaver Socket will provide a mirror, lighting and storage all-in-one.
Mirrors: Another key accessory by the basin area is a mirror – an essential component of most people’s bathrooms which adds to the overall aesthetics of the space as well as providing a useful function. With plain, LED and Bluetooth/LED mirrors available, as well as framed and frameless styles, there are plenty of options when it comes to finding the perfect mirror for your customers.
For example, the Brushed Brass Round Frame Mirror with Colour Change will perfectly complement any vanity area, the warm brushed brass tone and stylish round shape great for pairing with a circular basin, as pictured. The addition of LED lighting also adds ambience and better illumination for getting ready, making this a practical and aesthetically-pleasing product.
Basin wastes: A key component of any basin, wastes are available in a range of finishes, including polished chrome, matt black, brushed brass and gloss white. So, whatever look your customer is going for, there’ll be something to suit.
Basin taps and mixers: Another key feature of the bathroom basin is the tap – which can certainly accessorise the area but is also more of an essential item ...
Again, these are available in a range of finishes and styles, with something to suit all tastes and basin designs. This includes taller mixers for countertop basins as well as pillar taps and mono basin mixers.
The Eliseo Ricci Neo Basin Mixer is a mounted tap which will add that classic chrome look to the vanity area and will complement a range of bathroom décor, so is easily matched with other items.
