How to choose the right outdoor accessories

Bathroom accessories are often overlooked when planning an outdoor space, but a standard zinc or plastic hook or shelf will corrode, crack or fade quickly outdoors. Choose accessories built specifically in 316 stainless steel to match the durability of your outdoor tapware and shower fittings, rather than reusing indoor-rated pieces in an exposed position.

Match finishes across the space wherever possible. Buying a shower shelf, robe hook and toilet roll holder in the same graphite, brushed bronze or brushed nickel tone as your mixers and shower arms creates a cohesive, considered look rather than a mix of unrelated metals. Confirm the wall surface at each fixing point, tile, render or timber cladding, can support the screws before installing.
