Where to hang the towel by the sink?

You enter the bathroom intending to take a relaxing bath, and you catch an unpleasant sight. Towels are scattered everywhere: on the washing machine, on cabinets, and the bath towel is carelessly lying on the floor next to the shower. Although one of the towels is hanging properly on a hanger, there is a path marked by water droplets leading to it. You feel like jumping up to make a fuss with the household. Wait! Maybe it's your fault because you didn't take care of the proper holders, or you placed them in the wrong spot? We'll advise you where to install hangers so that towels are always within reach.

How to functionally arrange towel racks in the bathroom?

The bathroom should be equipped with all necessary accessories, and the entire space organized in a functional way to ensure comfort for the household. It's worth considering where and at what height to place the towel racks. Let's start with the daily use towels we use to dry our hands. These towels should be placed as close to the sink as possible to avoid splashing water on the floor when reaching for them.

We have several options to choose from:

• It's best to hang the towel rack on the same wall as the sink, to the right or left of it, depending on where we have space,
• If there is no space right by the sink, you can attach the rack to one of the adjacent walls,
• If there are doors near the sink, it's worth using their surface, but you have to choose racks that don't require drilling,
• For countertop basin setups, we can place towel racks under the countertop,
• A good solution, especially in a small bathroom, is to attach the rack to the side wall of the vanity unit with the sink.

Wall-mounted towel racks for the bathroom

Choosing a functional towel rack for the bathroom is not a trivial matter. First of all, you must decide on which wall and in what location it will be placed. Usually, there isn’t much space in the bathroom, so every bit must be reasonably managed to fit all necessary bathroom accessories. You also need to consider the individual needs of the household (for left-handed people, the side where the towel hangs may be important).

In-store offers, you'll find various types of bathroom towel racks:

• The classic and most commonly used are wall-mounted racks. Their advantage is small size, allowing them to be attached anywhere - near the sink, bathtub, or shower. They can take the shape of single hooks or longer bars with several holders.
• An elegant form of a single towel rack is a decorative chrome ring, which, due to its aesthetic value, also serves a decorative function.
• A practical bathroom element is folding wall rails equipped with special movable telescopes that allow you to pull out as many rods as necessary. These rails can function as small dryers while providing an interesting addition to the bathroom arrangement.
• In small bathrooms, an arm rack works well, with several adjustable movable rods to decide on the spacing between them. This type of rack is best placed near the bathtub, allowing each household member to hang their towel there.

Free-standing bathroom towel racks

Hangers fixed permanently usually require making holes in the walls. Of course, you can opt for a cheap rack with a plastic suction cup, which provides non-invasive installation, but let's not deceive ourselves; these racks tend to detach and fall under even slight weight from a towel. So which rack to choose to avoid drilling that could damage the tiles?

In this case, bathroom ladders and stands, which are gaining popularity and look great in any bathroom, are worth recommending. Their advantage is mobility and the associated functionality. By using such racks, you can easily change their location - placing them next to the sink, in front of the bathtub, or from any side of the shower, and even move them to another room.

Free-standing racks come in different heights. A taller ladder rack can accommodate several towels, facilitating drying. Some ladder models have holders for hanging baskets for toiletries. Steel racks with simple shapes and smooth chrome surfaces fit perfectly into interior design trends dominated by minimalism. Cast iron and brass are a good option if you're styling a bathroom in a retro or glamour style.
