Choosing quality

Choosing quality bathroom materials and accessories if of the utmost importance. Bear in mind that constant attacks by humidity make bathrooms especially vulnerable and likely to deteriorate faster than any other room in the house. Likewise, accessories that are found in the bathroom may be threatened. Bathrooms are generally not the place to hang your favourite piece of art!

Therefore, we strongly recommend all bathroom accessories and finishing materials be chosen on the basis of their ability to resist humidity. From cement-based panelling to silicone joints, the bathroom must be efficient, pleasant and durable.
Paint must also be chosen with the same criteria in mind. Talk with a specialist to help you choose the right bathroom paints. And state-of-the-art application of the paint will save you much aggravation over time. Likewise, a quick consultation with an advisor will help you select the quality accessories you need.

Decorating with the right accessories

Bathroom are often small. Accessories must therefore be purchased on the basis both the available space and the desired effect. They also need to be arranged harmoniously and efficiently.

Accessories such as soap dishes, toothbrush holders, waste baskets, shower curtains, bath towels and others must satisfy both practical and decorative needs.

Shower curtains are an important part of bathrooms equipped with bath showers. Use them to refine your seasonal decor for example by alternating rich fabric curtains over the same waterproof plastic liner. You can also overlay different fabrics to personalize the design of your shower curtain.

Generally, less expensive shower curtains are made of a single waterproof fabric, printed in strong colours while better curtains offer more choices. Depending on quality, shower curtains may last for years or barely make it through a few months. In the end, it is matter of quality.
Bath towels can also serve as decorating elements. They can be in colours that match those of the shower curtain or complement them. Or they can match or complement the colours of the window curtains. Or they can contrast the curtains or the walls. Or you can customize them by adding a fabric border that matches a part of your decor.
