Uplift your bathroom with stylish accessories

Gina Ciancio (@stylecuratorau) shows there’s no risk of cracking tiles with tesa’s innovative adhesive accessory design.

If you’re looking for ideas to refresh your bathroom, tesa’s range of bathroom accessories will help you add style and function to your space. From robe hooks and towel rails to toilet-roll holders and shower shelves, there’s a whole range of sleek accessories to choose from.

Best of all, you won’t need any tools or risk cracking tiles thanks to the innovative adhesive design, which is reliable and damage-free. So whether you’re renting or simply want to avoid drilling into tiles, Gina Ciancio (@stylecuratorau) shares how easy it is to use these German-designed products.

Steps

1

Prepare the surface by cleaning the tile with an alcohol-based cleaner.

2

Attach the mounting plate to the wall by removing the sticker backing and pressing firmly onto the tile. It’s a good idea to hold your accessory onto the wall to check the height and position beforehand. This will help you avoid obstacles (such as taps) and ensure there is enough clearance space around (such as for your towel to hang).

Fill in the adhesive behind the mounting plate by inserting the tip through the larger hole and squeezing gently. Allow to dry for 12 hours.

Finally, attach your bathroom accessory onto the mounting plate and use the hex key to secure it. And you’re done! It’s that easy to add contemporary bathroom accessories to your space.

Finish your mini bathroom makeover with towels to suit your colour scheme, fresh flowers or plants, bathroom products and more. If you decide to remove the bathroom accessory, simply use a wrench or jaw pliers to rotate the mounting plate clockwise.

Some products are not available at all stores, but may be ordered.
