Where each piece goes

These are the heights most American bathrooms use. Mark them in pencil before you drill, then check them against your own room and the people who use it.

  • Toilet paper holder: about 26 in (66 cm) above the floor and 8 to 12 in (20 to 30 cm) in front of the front edge of the toilet bowl.
  • Towel bar: about 48 in (122 cm) above the floor, centered on the space where the towel will hang.
  • Hand towel bar or ring: about 20 in (51 cm) above the vanity top, within easy reach of the sink.
  • Robe hook: about 70 in (178 cm) above the floor, beside the shower or on the back of the door.

Choosing a finish

Brushed gold is warm and soft, and it hides water spots better than polished metal. Gunmetal is a deep metallic gray that sits well with black faucets, concrete and gray stone. Polished chrome and brushed nickel match most standard faucets and shower trim.

If your faucet and shower are already one finish, match the hardware to them. Mixing two metals works best when the second one appears at least twice in the room, for example a gold paper holder and gold robe hook next to a black faucet.

Fixing to the wall

Every piece mounts with screws through its wall plate. Into a stud, a wood screw holds on its own. Into drywall, use anchors rated for the load. A towel bar that carries wet bath towels is the heaviest job here, so try to catch a stud with at least one end.

On tile, put masking tape over the spot, then drill with a carbide or diamond tile bit at low speed so the glaze doesn't chip and the bit doesn't skate. Towel bars and hooks are not grab bars: never use them to steady yourself getting in or out of the tub.

Care

Wipe with a soft damp cloth and dry. Mild soap is fine. Bleach, chlorine cleaners, scouring pads and metal polish wear through finishes, so keep them off. Brushed finishes clean best when you wipe along the grain.

Questions

What height should a toilet paper holder be?

Most American bathrooms put it about 26 in (66 cm) above the floor and 8 to 12 in (20 to 30 cm) in front of the toilet bowl. Sit down and reach for the spot before you drill; the right place is where your hand falls without twisting.

Can I mix brushed gold with chrome or black fixtures?

Yes. Brushed gold next to black is a classic pairing, and gold with chrome works when the gold shows up at least twice, say a paper holder and a robe hook. If you would rather not think about it, match the faucet.

What do I need to install a towel bar?

A drill, a level, a pencil and fixings that suit your wall: wood screws into studs, rated anchors into drywall, and a tile bit for ceramic or porcelain. Mark both ends with the level before you drill.

Can I return a piece that doesn't suit the room?

Yes. Unused pieces can come back within 30 days of delivery. Keep the packaging until you have seen the finish in your own light.
