Bathroom décor frequently requires a sense of continuation when it comes to design. We like to keep our towel collections largely the same color, material and shape, which are often purchased according to the overall décor scheme of the interior. This collection of three hand towels fulfils this requirement and adds a lot more when it comes to decorative splendour and visual interest. The blue-ink design drawings of the sailing ship, anchor and whale will bring a decidedly nautical and navy themed ambiance to any bathroom, regardless of what else is within sight.

One of the most well-known seafaring stories is Moby Dick by American author Herman Melville in 1851. It tells the story of sailors, most notably Ishmael and Ahab who hunt a giant albino sperm whale who is attacking ships and their crews. An imaginary story of course for whales are not known for their ferociousness but instead as gentle giants of the deep. Then of course there is the biblical tale of Jonah and the whale. A whale is said to have saved Jonah from drowning and then spat him out onto dry land after 3 days and 3 nights inside its belly.

Whether you are from a sailing family yourself or take a great interest in nautical based literature, this set of 3 seafarer themed hand towels will make a delightful addition to just about any bathroom décor style. They can make great towels for guest rooms for when visiting friends and family stay the night.

You can find them here: Set of 3 Seafarer Hand Towels in Ink by Thomas Paul.

The holder is extremely easy to use. A small metal disk is gently pressed into a damp bar of soap. When sealed in place, the bar of soap with metal disk in place is then ready to be used in conjunction with the rest of the apparatus. Magnetism holds the small metal disk to the over-hanging structure thus creating the illusion that the soap is defying gravity by remaining in place.

The benefit of all this is the fact that the bar of soap need never touch any bathroom or kitchen surfaces. This means soap scum and related build-ups are negated as well as placing the bar of soap in a very easy to reach position. The soap is simply placed back under the magnet where it will remain. Any dripping soap falls directly into the sink. A heavy base prevents the counter-top magnetic soap holder from tipping over. There’s no instillation required or any need for screws and nails. One week it can be used in a guest bathroom and another week in the kitchen.

As previous reviewers have noted, the holder is aesthetically pleasing and due to its material, compliments the majority of bathroom and kitchen fixtures and settings. It will however remain an eye-catching item that guests will happily comment on.

The shower caddy has a hook at the top for hanging around a shower nozzle holder or similar permanent fixture. Special strong suction cups on the back mean the caddy will not sway when a person attempts to pick something from inside one of the bamboo trays. This is especially handy, as is so often the case, when eyes are bleary from steam or water and you want to know exactly where the soap or conditioner is.

At the base of the bamboo shower caddy is a bar on which small towels and perhaps hooked shampoo bottles can be hung. Bamboo is extremely versatile and strong therefore making it an ideal material for storage and shelving. It’s also extremely fast growing, being able to grow 60 cm in just one day. This makes it a wonderfully eco-friendly natural material which is highly popular both for its strength and beauty.

Laundry hampers are used to store dirty laundry until they can be washed. They are usually stored in the bathroom, in a bedroom or in a utility room. Most, like this maple weave one have lids as well. If you don’t have a mashing machine and rely on the local Laundromat, then this maple weave laundry basket has in-built handles which allow for easy carrying and transportation. In fact, that might not even be necessary seeing as the hamper comes with a removable bag which can then be taken to the area where the clothing is to be washed.

This compact rectangular bathroom laundry hamper looks nice and is highly functional. It’s a great choice for a small to medium sized household or as a laundry accessory in a guest bathroom. The woven maple strips give a natural charm to the piece and will look lovely beside the bathroom door, below a window or in a spare corner.

The wall-mounted vertical toilet paper holder is made from sleek stainless steel which will provide a modern look to the bathroom interior. Its simple yet highly functional design means it will merge in with the existing decor and compliment similar space saving techniques already in place. As a wall attachment, the vertical toilet paper holder can be placed in a variety of places such as directly beside the toilet area or a little further away, perhaps near the entrance to the bathroom.

Wherever you place it, remember to keep it some distance away from the sink and bath/shower areas where spray can dampen the toilet tissue and make it unusable. The wall-mounted vertical toilet paper holder can hold up to four toilet rolls at any one time and can act as an assistant to a more regular style toilet roll holder. On the other hand, it is also perfectly suitable for direct use beside the toilet.

The floor of the bathroom, especially around the toilet apparatus can be an unpleasant area especially if you have young male kids in the home who have a propensity to miss their aiming spot. It is therefore nicer and more hygienic to have the toilet brush and toilet brush holder above the level of the floor if only a few inches off the ground. This means an easier toilet brush holder to clean which can be accessed without having to bend down so far.

Another situation where this type of toilet brush holder comes in very useful is if you have trouble with mobility and bending down any great distance. For people with back problems or frailty, cleaning the toilet brush holder can be a difficult chore. Instead, this wall mounted toilet brush holder can be attached to the wall at a level that is easy to reach. An ideal place is on the wall directly behind the toilet, perhaps level or just below the toilet seat.

The stainless steel canister of the wall mounted toilet brush holder means the brush inside is well hidden and is also due to the nature of the material, is also very easy to clean. It just looks nicer than a cheap plastic holder you see everywhere else.

When it comes to aesthetics, it’s difficult to beat natural fibres such as cotton or linen for your shower curtain. These will match a wide range of bathroom interior design styles and will add a touch of elegance to the shower or bath area. However, such natural materials are not usually waterproof and are liable to mildew if left for any amount of time.

On the other hand, synthetic shower curtain materials such as vinyl and polyester are extremely functional in the sense they are waterproof. That said, they can be heavy, bulky and not very attractive. It can be difficult to find synthetic shower curtains that match a unique or old-style bathroom design theme.

It is possible to have both, with the more waterproof material on the inside and the natural fibre on the outside, facing the rest of the bathroom. Although this can be rather cumbersome.

One advantage with synthetic shower curtains is their availability on the market. They are especially suitable for households with children who want to make the bathroom a child-friendly environment. Goodness knows, it can be hard work sometimes when it comes to kids and bath time. One can usually get any pattern, color and picture imaginable on these types of shower curtains.

Synthetic materials are also good for more general themes such as ocean bathrooms, seaside bathrooms and animal themed bathrooms. One can always find shower curtains with designs on them such as seashells, fishes, cats, clouds, horses and even cityscapes.

Another advantage of synthetic shower curtain materials is their price. They are cheaper than natural shower curtain materials which means they can be replaced without too much of a financial headache. Again, this makes them particularly suitable for homes with children or multiple family members. Synthetic material is also easier to clean and will usually be as good as new after a good clean with bleach or laundry soap.

There is still however no getting away from the fact that natural shower curtain materials more often than not just look much nicer than their synthetic cousins. When purchased to match other materials in the bathroom such as towels, bathmats, curtains and even dressing gowns. Some natural fibre shower curtain materials have been waterproofed and given stain resistant coatings which help but can slightly reduce the overall aesthetic quality.

One of my favorite shower curtain materials is hemp. This material is naturally anti-fungal and anti-bacterial which means it is not liable to mildew and stains. Hemp is a natural plant fibre and is very similar to linen and cotton. Hemp shower curtains are very durable and can be washed repeatedly without any ill-effects. On top of this, hemp is often grown in environmentally friendly environments and colored with natural dyes.
