Your Perfect Soap Dish Bathroom Accessories
Why use simple bath accessories help you with your bathroom makeover?
Simple. A bathroom makeover or renovation is an expensive, time consuming exercise. By focusing on one component, you quickly define the style of your bathroom decor and from there the cost and theme of your bathroom; building from there. The soap dish above is full of intricate detail and texture, which means you can use plain tiles and simple color schemes as a backdrop. It would go so well with dark blue or gray walls or muted soft neutrals.

Wall soap dispensers like the one above, save vanity space, which is perfect in a small bathroom. The material you choose makes a difference to how well your bathroom set will wear and how easy they are to keep clean. Take this into account when choosing bathroom accessories in sets. Brass that quickly tarnishes or ceramics that easily crack never look appealing.
There’s simple stainless steel soap dish, bamboo soap dish, glass or wood soap dish or do you need something specific for your bathroom like a corner soap dish, a recessed soap dish or wall soap dish to save space and in keeping with your other bathroom decor?

Using it as your anchor, and knowing that you prefer a shower soap dish in brushed nickel or marble, or a ceramic tile soap dish to go with floor tiles can help you pinpoint exactly what you want – instead of leaving it to last and putting up with what goes with everything else.
