Towel Bars Versus Towel Rings

April 23, 2009 - HomeBound

While some of the choice between towel bars or towel rings in the bathroom comes down to personal preference, towel bars do have one distinct advantage.  With a towel bar, provided the towel isn’t bunched up in one corner, the towel itself will dry out much faster because the fabric has more exposure to the air.  With a towel ring, the towel will be all bunched up when hung and it will take it longer for it to dry out (especially the bunched up part that touches the ring itself).  You might find that hand towels are better suited for a towel ring (because they aren’t saturated with as much water), and bath towels are better suited for a towel bar.  However, certain towel rings might be wide enough to spread out a bath towel and allow it to dry. When it comes down to it, the choice really is based on personal preference, but for people who bathe daily or even twice daily, a towel bar might be a better choice for your bath towel.  There’s nothing worse than trying to dry off with a bath towel that’s already a little bit wet!

I love door knobs, you love door knobs, everyone loves door knobs.  With out door knobs we would not be able to open up doors.  There are thousands of reasons to appreciate door konbs, and I am going to tell you about a few of them.

The first thing about door knobs that is great is that they come in all sorts of shapes.  There are round door knobs, square door knobs, and hundreds of other shaped door knobs.  The second great thing about door knobs is that they come in different textures.  There are bumpy door knobs, smooth door knobs, and sharp door knobs.  Lastly, door knobs can be made out of a variety of materials.  There are ceramic door knobs, wooden door knobs, and metal door knobs. 

Door knobs compliment any door, so if you are considering purchasing a door to seperate one room from another, don’t forget the door knob; it will make your door look better.

A great way to add new life to your home is to purchase new bathroom accessories.  Sadly, too often people neglect their bathrooms to the point where their bathroom is a decorating nightmare.  For example, I went over to a friends house the other day and saw that they had bright pink curtains and Cinderella cabinet pulls and knobs.  This would be alright if they had small children, but their youngest child graduated college last year. 

New bathroom accessories that can add life to a bathroom include:  switch plate covers, cabinet knobs, cabinet pulls, towel rings, toilet paper holders, and door bells.  The bathroom accessories that you choose will dictate the style that your bathroom possesses.  For instance if you choose mountain hardware for your bathroom, than it will have a rustic style.  One important thing to remember is that that all your bathroom accessories should have a common style theme.  For example, a modern door bell should match a modern toilet paper holder.

The most important thing to remember is to have fun decorating your bathroom.

the toilet paper holder

March 29, 2009 - Mountainman

A toilet paper holder is a piece of decorative hardware that is used to hold a roll of toilet paper.  The method by which the roll is held varies; some are held with a rod through the roll while others are griped on each end.  The style and appeal also varies greatly.

The toilet paper holder is only one piece of decorative hardware it is meant to accent and compliment the rest of your set.  What exactly should be with it depends on which style you have.  regardless of what style you choose, it should be paired with the soap dish and the Towel bars and toilet paper holder.  If it is in the Kitchen then it should match with the cabinet knobs and other accessories.
