Ciara Range

The simplest approach is to buy your accessories from the same brand range as your tapware, many brands such as Phoenix, Caroma Urbane II, and Meir offer coordinated tap and accessory collections. If mixing brands, focus on matching the finish (e.g. brushed nickel or matte black) rather than the exact product range. Small variations in tone between brands are often barely noticeable in a finished bathroom.

Matte black has been the dominant finish for bathroom accessories in Australia for the past several years and remains very popular. Brushed nickel, brushed gold, and brushed brass are also strong choices for warmer or more luxurious interiors. Chrome remains the most versatile and classic option. For coastal homes, PVD-finished accessories offer the best long-term corrosion resistance.

A fully equipped bathroom typically includes a towel rail or heated towel rail, a toilet roll holder, a robe hook (or hooks), a soap dish or soap dispenser, and a toothbrush holder. In the shower, a shower shelf or niche is essential. For a cohesive look, choose all accessories from the same range and finish, most Australian accessory brands like Nero, Phoenix, Meir and Caroma offer complete coordinating sets.
