Choosing hooks for the bathroom
Bathrooms are an area where, in addition to sanitary products, various attributes play a fundamental role in helping you locate the necessary things in a practical way. Hooks systematize hygienic accessories and have a decorative function, decorating the space.
Special features
Choosing hangers for curtains in the shower or towels is not as simple as it may seem at first glance.
Any attribute to hold any load must consider some aspects:
- dimensions of the required space (for example, height);
- interior and style of the room;
- the presence or absence of other accessories;
- the number of living in the room and taking into account their habits;
- organization (presence of the system) in the space that was used before.
You must consider the size and number of things that will be operated simultaneously, as well as used as a fallback.
For example, a room where a large family lives requires the placement of a large number of towels. In this situation, it is necessary to place one large shelf with several hangers, where each family member could hang out their own personal towels. Towel holders are usually fixed near shower cabins or bath bowls.
In a small-sized bathroom, which is not uncommon for Russian apartments, using a wall cabinet for clothes or shelves for hygiene accessories is impractical. In this situation, it is better to choose wall holders in the form of an intricate design with a lot of hooks. It will provide an opportunity to competently arrange all the necessary accessories in the room.
No matter how high the aesthetic performance of the product is, it should be practical and safe. It is desirable that the hanger be with a smooth surface without various defects. When purchasing, make sure that the product is not cracked or chipped. These defects significantly reduce the lifetime. Any hook with the type of attachment on the suction cups, regardless of the material used in the manufacture, in a wet environment has a high risk of losing its functional purpose. Avoid models with sharp corners or parts that could harm you or young children. For safer or more practical use, give preference to high-quality materials (chrome-plated steel, treated wood with a special water-repellent solution or high-quality plastics).
