A great bathroom comes down to the details. Beyond the basic accessories, four items make a difference to the guest experience and to the housekeeping team’s work.
The magnifying mirror
Make-up, shaving, contact lenses: from the mid-range upwards, the magnifying mirror has become a must. What to look for:
- Magnification: ×3 to ×5 suits most uses.
- An articulated arm: it brings the mirror close to the face and folds back against the wall.
- Built-in lighting: a lit mirror lights the face evenly, without shadows, even when the bathroom lighting is soft.
- Mounting: wall-mounted, to save space on the vanity top, or freestanding in bathrooms where you can’t drill.
Our magnifying mirrors come in lit and unlit versions, wall-mounted or freestanding.
Soap dispensers
More and more hotels are replacing miniatures with wall-mounted dispensers for soap, shampoo and shower gel.
The benefits:
- less plastic waste;
- less handling: you refill instead of replacing;
- a more responsible image, which guests appreciate.
What to watch:
- dispensers that are easy to refill and clean, for impeccable hygiene;
- a finish that matches the accessories (stainless steel, white, black);
- built-in models for new builds or refurbishments, which disappear into the tiling;
- clear pictograms to tell soap, shampoo and shower gel apart.
See our soap dispensers, in stainless steel or built-in versions.
The pedal bin
A bin that slams every time it’s used, a lid that stays open, a bucket that’s hard to empty: it’s a detail that irritates. Choose:
- a soft-close (damped) lid that’s quiet;
- a removable inner bucket, easy to empty and wash;
- a finish that matches the accessories;
- a suitable capacity: 3 to 5 litres for a guest bathroom.
The toilet brush
It should be enclosed, stable and easy to clean. A wall-mounted model frees the floor and makes cleaning easier. Our pedal bins and toilet brushes come in several finishes.
The little extras
- A tempered glass bathroom scale, popular with long-stay and sporty guests.
- A retractable clothesline over the bath for swimwear and washing.
- A shelf under the mirror for the wash bag.
Bringing it all together
The mirror, dispensers, bin and brush should speak the same language as the robe hooks and towel rails. A single finish for the whole bathroom gives an immediate impression of quality.
In short
- A magnifying mirror on an articulated arm, lit if possible.
- Wall-mounted dispensers that are easy to refill.
- A soft-close bin and an enclosed brush.
- A consistent finish.
