any thoughts on towel hooks instead of towel bars?
Comments (22)I'm sort of doing both too. But our bath redo is at a stand still, so I just put these up temporarily. Please ignore the walls, which will come down when the project is restarted. First, the train rack which stores and provides a towel bar as well. It will have the blocking to support it placed behind the new walls. The towel ring as shown was the one we used before, the old one, and I might find a place to put it but who knows. And here is my favorite hook of all time, which I purchased from Lee Valley Tools. It can go behind a door and it folds up. It is also a very nautical design, since boats are always short on space. It makes a good mudroom rack where you can hang a hat on top, and then spread out the other hooks for your gloves and jackets. And then this one, on clearance at Pottery Barn and sold as a bathroom magazine rack, but it is a fantastic towel bar/rack too. Not bad on the price either, if it is still available. I'm using it now beside my sink in the bath undergoing redo....See MoreAnyone use hooks for bath towels instead of bars?
Comments (19)We are planning to use hooks in our new home. I'm thinking of either bear hooks - one of our bathrooms is going to be "barely a bathroom" or wooden pegs. They will be big enough to easily hold a bath towel...Our other bathroom will have an outhouse/forest theme, so hooks/pegs related to that will work..and in an "outhouse", pegs will be very appropriate. Casual. We are building a log home, so the more casual hooks will work well for us. Besides, it seems like no matter how much time I spend hanging towels on bars, they always look a bit untidy. At least hanging them on pegs - they always like they are supposed to be casual.. I hope everything dries well...it's just my dh and me, so we don't have a lot of wet towels. But I hope this peg thing will work. He likes the idea, though!...See MoreWhere to put towel bars and robe hook
Comments (16)I've seen hooks installed on the glass shower doors/walls. Some shower door handles can also be towel holders for your hand towel. Photo link Shower handle towel holder Photo Another example Photo Hooks installed through the shower glass - makes me a little nervous about putting a hole in an expensive glass enclosure but they do look nice. Hook in glass There is also the hook over the glass - could be an option photo I'm having the same issue - I just don't like towel bars or those holders on the counter....See MoreTowel bar dilemma
Comments (5)The space were I have the 2 hooks is 28" wide. The towel bar that was previously there was sold as a 24" but that was center to center. The end pieces that attach to the wall made the actual measurement 26-1/2. It looked fine with only that less than an inch of wall space left on each end. I actually had 2 towel bars there mounted one above the other. The towels did need to be folded. You will need to check the specs for the towel bar you want to use, it may actually be bigger than 30" and not fit into your space at all. Heres the specs for the towel bar I had previously The specs for the 30 inch bar show the total length as 32-1/2" so that towel bar as an example would not fit your 32" area. Good luck on finding a towel bar. Edited to add: Sorry, I just reread your post as see that you did note about the extra space need for the actual length of the 30" bars ant that your space is 34". It looks like a 30" would work...See MoreRelated Professionals
