Beyond the sink, toilet, bathtub, shower, and other basic fixtures of a bathroom, accessories can add to a bathroom's functionality and style.

A great vanity light can offer just the right light for makeup and grooming. Coordinated towel bars, towel rings, and wall fixtures can lift a bathroom with both form and function. Heated towel racks, in-shower caddies, storage shelves, and the like can create an element of luxury. And even toilet paper holders, soap dispensers, integrated trashcans, and clothes hampers can get the job done with style.

In this section of HomeTips, you will find help with making smart decisions when buying accessories for your bathroom, and step-by-step do-it-yourself help that will guide you through their installation.
