Bathroom accessories – small details that complete your bathroom
Bathroom accessories are often subtle – yet they play a key role in how comfortable, organised and harmonious a bathroom feels. Only with the right details does a functional sanitary space become a thoughtfully designed room that makes everyday life easier while also creating a visually appealing atmosphere.
But which bathroom accessories do you really need? Which materials are suitable for humid environments? And what should you consider when it comes to installation, care and combination? This guide provides a clear overview and supports you in planning your bathroom effectively.
What are bathroom accessories?
Bathroom accessories refer to all complementary fittings and elements that make everyday use of the bathroom more comfortable while also contributing to organisation and overall design. These include, among others:
- Towel holders and towel rails
- Soap dispensers and soap dishes
- Toilet brush sets
- Toothbrush cups and shelves
- Hooks, baskets and toilet paper holders
They fulfil practical functions and at the same time play an important role in shaping the overall look and feel of the bathroom.
Which bathroom accessories do you really need?
Not every bathroom requires the same equipment. Actual needs depend on room size, usage and personal comfort expectations. As a basic setup, the following accessories are generally recommended:
- Towel holders near the washbasin
- A soap dish or soap dispenser
- A toilet brush set
- A toilet paper holder
- Hooks for additional textiles
Further accessories such as shelves, shower baskets or extra holders can be useful additions – especially in family bathrooms or frequently used guest bathrooms.

Gluing, drilling or hanging: Which mounting method suits your bathroom accessories?
The right installation method for bathroom accessories is determined by the conditions in your bathroom, your aesthetic requirements and functional needs. Below we present the three most common methods - gluing, drilling and hanging - as well as their advantages and disadvantages.
Gluing: Simple and residue-free
Drilling: Stable and durable
Drilling is the classic method for mounting bathroom accessories securely. Here, plugs and screws are used to anchor the accessories firmly in the wall.
Hanging: Flexible and versatile
With hanging installation, accessories are attached to existing structures such as shower walls, radiators or door frames.
From inexpensive to luxurious: which manufacturers suit your budget?
Choosing the right bathroom accessories depends not only on design and function, but also on budget. Various manufacturers offer a wide range of accessories – from price-conscious solutions to exclusive design objects. Here we present some of the best-known brands.
