Hook instead of ring for hand towel in MB?
Comments (2)You've already thought of the moisture problems with it hanging on a hook. I chose to use a toilet paper bar for mine. Sounds weird, I know. This is one of those bars that connects at only one point on the wall. A roll of toilet paper is meant to be slid onto the holder sideways. I like how it holds the towel evenly, instead of scrunched up like a ring would do. I can't say that I've ever really seen hooks used for towels much, but it sounds like it wouldn't stick out....See More2 hand towel rings or double hook?
Comments (5)I don't know where they should go but I like it that you are fixing the walls to to handle the fixtures after the walls go up. I have never had a towel ring but they look like they would be under a lot of stress & torque as one tries to pull the towel off, unless the ring swings left and right to accommodate the side pull. I like hooks and bars. If you put a bar by the tub I would put one that was actually a grab bar for safety. They have many nice looking ones. I have seen chrome plated ones in several designs. As I was as my DS's house taking a shower and drying off while standing in the beautiful claw foot tub/shower, I needed some help with balance and I put my hand on some mounted shelving, not thinking. As I eventually wobbled I put too much weight on the shelve and down it came, braking the nice decorations that DIL had up. So, in my remodel I will have only grab bar worthy fixtures near the tub for safety :)...See Moretowel bar, towel ring or hook for hand towel by sink?
Comments (10)I mixed it up for different reasons. Master bath: hooks near shower & tub for bath towels, rings for hand towels @ sink. I'm really, really, really loving the hooks for the bath towels. I used double hooks, and I like that I can drape a towel over both "prongs" to help open it up for drying. Don't actually take the hand towels off the ring unless I'm swapping them for clean ones, so the rings are fine. Guest bath: towel bar at sit-in shower for bath towels, smaller towel bar at sink for hand towels. This was more of a space issue. It was a very typical "galley" type bathroom layout. I went with double towel rods so that each guest (generally my parents) could have two towels without taking up the entire wall. Hooks would have worked, too, but I wanted to be able to fold them over something and free up some wall space. The shorter towel bar at the vanity allowed space for two guest hand towels to reside on one wall, without taking up counter space. Half bath: Open ring for hand towel (because it was the best looking option that came in my faucet's line, and I wanted them to match). :) Hollywood bath (DD's): No towel bar, rings for hand towels. Her shower area is small and the only wall that would fit a towel bar is the wall the door opens up against. I didn't want to have to choose between open door or dry towels. So I bought an over the door hook, and really cute coordinating towels....See MoreWhere should I place the hand towel bar in this small bathroom??
Comments (12)Your set-up, incl small size looks like ours. Be careful if you hang a bar or ring on the wall to the left of the sink. We were going to hang one there in the MB, but the towel would have hung over/ into the sink (we didn't want to hang it extra high). Here's what we did. It works for me (DH uses the other bathroom). Not the ideal location, I admit, but not too many options. Window on opposite wall, with a door that would cover most of the towel bar if we did hang it under the window....See Morecjohnston
