IMEX bathroom accessories are the brand's line of complements (soap dishes, towel rails, shelves, wire baskets, and grab bars) designed to complete the faucet selection with a consistent design language. They are primarily manufactured in S304 stainless steel and brass, with finishes that match the rest of the bathroom: chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, brushed gold, and rose gold.
Once you have chosen your faucets, accessories are the final step to ensure the bathroom looks like a cohesive set rather than separate, mismatched pieces. This guide reviews the IMEX accessory catalog by family, using real data taken from the product sheets in the Merkimarket bathroom accessories collection.

IMEX soap dishes: six series to choose a finish from
The soap dish (or soap dispenser) is the most repeated accessory in the IMEX catalog, with six series that share S304 steel construction but vary in shape and finish:
- Anga. Sober lines and a straight profile; available in chrome, matte white, matte black, chrome-plated nickel, and black with rose gold.
- Bethari. Modern design with a slightly wider profile, available in chrome, matte white, matte black, brushed nickel, and black with rose gold.
- Mayura. The entry-level series, with an elegant and compact design in matte white, matte black, brushed nickel, and black with rose gold.
- Nirmala. Rounded design, available in matte white, matte black, brushed nickel, and chrome.
- Dhanu. The only one designed for corner installation, in chrome, matte white, and matte black.
- Iman. Elegant profile with a greater variety of finishes, including black with rose gold and matte white.
If you are looking for a simpler and more economical wall-mounted dispenser, the Portland series offers a 350 ml version in chrome or matte black.

Towel rails, shelves, and baskets: support accessories
Beyond the soap dish, the IMEX catalog covers the rest of the accessories that usually match in the same bathroom:
Bar towel rails. Designed to be screwed to the side of a bathroom vanity, such as the 36 cm chrome bar towel rail or its matte black version. If you are also renovating the furniture, our bathroom furniture guide covers sizes and materials.
Shelves and wire baskets. In stainless steel with a chrome finish, such as the triangular wire shelf for utilizing corners, or rectangular shelves in white or black PVC for flat surfaces.
Grab and safety bars. The rectangular brass safety grab bar in chrome is the accessory to add to bathrooms that need an extra support point, especially near the shower or bathtub.
Sliding shower supports. The Drava series adds a sliding support bar for the shower handset, available in chrome, matte black, brushed nickel, brushed gold, and brushed rose gold, designed to accompany an already installed shower column or set.
Materials and finishes: how to combine without mistakes
S304 stainless steel is the reference material for accessories most exposed to moisture (soap dishes, shower shelves), while brass appears in pieces such as safety grab bars and some towel rails. The rule of thumb is simple: choose the same finish for faucets and accessories—chrome if you want the safest and easiest option to combine, matte black or brushed gold if you are looking for a bathroom with more character. If your faucets are already from the brand, our definitive guide to IMEX faucets has a complete table of series and finishes so you don't mix tones.
How to choose your IMEX accessories in 3 steps
- Set the finish first. It must match that of the faucets and drain so the set doesn't clash.
- Cover the families you need. Soap dish next to the sink or shower, towel rail next to the vanity, shelf or basket where storage is lacking.
- Check the mounting system. Most are installed with screws into the wall; check the surface type (tiling, furniture) before buying.

Frequently asked questions about IMEX bathroom accessories
What is the difference between the IMEX soap dish series?
They share S304 steel construction, but vary in shape (Anga and Bethari are straighter, Nirmala is rounded, Dhanu is designed for corners) and in the range of finishes available for each.
Is stainless steel or brass better for bathroom accessories?
S304 stainless steel performs better on pieces highly exposed to moisture, such as soap dishes and shower shelves; brass is common in accessories like safety bars and some towel rails, and it takes colored finishes well.
How do I combine accessories with faucets?
By choosing the same finish for both: if your faucet is chrome, opt for chrome accessories; if it is matte black or brushed gold, look for that same range in soap dishes and towel rails so the set doesn't clash.
Do IMEX accessories include installation screws?
Most soap dishes, towel rails, and shelves are wall-mounted with exposed or hidden screws included in the box; check each model's product sheet to confirm the exact mounting system.
