Hardware/accessories (towel bars, tp holders, etc.)

16 years ago

I posted a few days ago asking about accessories (towel bars, toilet paper holders, etc.) that would go well with Grohe Kensington fixtures (beyond the ones Grohe offers). I only got a few responses, so I'm expanding my query.

Who makes (or sells) really high quality accessories? If you love your accessories, where did you get them?

I don't want cheap, flimsy or chintzy feeling or looking stuff. We've found some possibilities at Restoration Hardware and Waterworks (which seems incredibly expensive), but I want to look at more options. I saw some ideas on gingerco.com, but I have no idea what the quality is like, so I'm hesitant (but for the prices they're charging, I'd hope they're nice).

Ignore the original question of matching it with our fixtures. If you know of a top quality line of accessories, in any style, I want to look at it (and I'm sure there are others here who would find such a list helpful too).

Thanks!

All my hardware (robe hooks, tp holder, towel ring, drawer pulls/knobs came from RusticWare. I have the Riverside collection in oil rubbed bronze and satin nickel. Ordered from a local specialty door and cabinet hardware store.

Here is a link that might be useful: RusticWare

Mine are mostly from Restoration Hardware. They are substantial and beautiful, at least in chrome. Two things though: As mentioned in other posts, Restoration Hardware is famous for backorders. Also, the wall anchors that come with the stuff are pretty flimsy.

Are your walls plaster or drywall? Where is the wall behind? Consider cutting a small opening there to look at the back side of the paper holder. This will enable you to determine if the paper holder is attached to the face of your bathroom wall, or is mud-set into the wall. If it is mud embedded you will see a knob inside the wall. If it surface attached, remove the adjacent grouting or calk then carefully pry it loose. If it is mud embedded you most likely will damage some tile getting it out - but dig away as much grout as possible attempting to loosen the holder and work it free. Hope this helps - my only related experience has been a towel bar in an 1920's vintage home.

I looked on amazon for ring hand towel holder for the hall bath. good price - and I don't have to go from store to store. need a bath towel bar and curtain rod but those can wait til I'm out and 'happen' to see some at a good price. I did see some nice ones at HD a few wks ago tho. find what you want at the plumber supply place then look them up on the internet and see if you can get a better price.

I bought my curved shower rod on Overstock.com I believe I have seen tilting mirrors there also. Stockblowout is another site I have used and have been very happy with. After that, it was really by the product I was looking for. Train rack was from Amazon.
