Bathroom towel storage: train rack, baskets, inside closet or ?
Comments (10)floating shelves are good for towel storage - can be painted the same as wall color to blend and not feel so bulky A train/hotel type holder is good inside the shower too if wall space is tight....like where they hang in hotels..high and at the back shower wall. You would definately want a higher end all-stainless one if hung there. A more involved fix idea- in two homes we've owned I've "stolen" space for storage by adding wall cabinets that bumped into an adjacent room's closet...such as I took a foot and a half from the back of a hall closet that backed up to a bathroom and used this as an inset wall flush towel cabinet. The coolest space stealer we made was when a bedroom closet backed up to a back shower/tub combo. wall; we built a 14 inch deep niche at the back of the shower (and tiled it in) for towel storage...this was handy storage and worked very well, this was in the mid-90's before the digital age and all this sharing of ideas...I can't find any photos of that. :( Also, even stealing a few inches from any wall and placing shelves that are recessed in and extend out with an 8 inch ledge or so gives you enough for towel storage with less bump-out into a small room. Wonder if I'm clear in comunicating my ideas, but hth....See MoreBathroom Towel Bar
Comments (12)I trust you have obvious accommodation for guests to dry their hands....otherwise they will use the towels you have. I can't imagine putting anything in my powder room that I wouldn't expect guests to use....I have mouthwash with plastic cups, hand lotion, soap, towels, tissues, spare TP...it's all for them. I've thought about using the paper guest towels, but we are on a septic system and I'm afraid people may try to flush them and cause all kinds of plumbing issues I'd rather not have....so instead I have plenty of towels to be used. Otherwise, as suero suggests, tie them up. Perhaps you can compromise with usable towels...perhaps in white cotton so they can be washed many times without issue... paired with a tied up decorative....See MoreColor scheme for bathroom towels
Comments (12)I have more than a dozen sets of towels, in all different colors (except white; my white towels are ancient). Here's how I would answer your questions: If the bathroom has colored tile in the shower area, are the bathroom towels supposed to be the same color as those tiles? And, if so, are they supposed to be darker color or lighter color than the bathroom tiles? I would choose a coordinating color towels. For example, if the shower tile is light blue, I'd get dark blue towels. If the tile is dark, I'd get light towels. But, what if the tile color was white? Then, you'd simply pick a white towel or do you want a colored towel to make it pop? I'd get colored towels that coordinate with the decor of the rest of the room. And, what happens if there are several different colored tiles in the shower area? Do you try to match the lightest color, medium color, or darkest color? I'd pick the color I like best and get towels in that color. Or I'd get towels in each color and mix-and-match them. Or, are you supposed to pick towel colors on the basis of the wall color in the rest of the bathroom, not the tile color? Assuming that the walls and tiles don't match, I'd get towels that go with both if possible. Or I'd paint/paper the walls to coordinate with the tile and go from there.

Comments (10)I have the exact situation over my towel bar/near the door in my master bath. You don't have enough room for 3 pictures no matter how you hang them. I have one larger print slightly smaller than the width of the towel bar centered over the towel bar and 5"-6" above so you have room to hang and remove your towels without disturbing the picture. Something interesting with the colors of your bath accessories?...See More- 7 years ago
