Do towel bars and toilet paper holders have to be the same as the chrome light over my vanity? c?
16 Mar 2010
I have a chrome light fixture but want to use a "shabby chic" offwhite metal towel bar and toilet paper holder in a small, cottage type bathroom that has beadboard and Pergo floors.
No, they don’t go together and, with the cottage style and beadboard, it’s the chrome lighting fixture that doesn’t fit into the mix, not your accessories. It sounds to me like your towel bars and toilet paper holder match your house better than your lighting fixture. I know it involves spending more money, but I say use the shabby chic white accessories and buy another more appropriate style lighting fixture.
