Don't mean to offend, but would you rather not have the slim cabinet there?....not crowd the corner and then install your towel bar!

i love the color of your cabinets. I don't think either option would be terrible, but I also like the idea of a towel rink if you have the cabinet space. I can't tell by the picture.

:( Don't drill the hole!!! :( Kidding, sorta, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

As suggested above, you could place it on the back wall with the tile. You could do something like this for a smaller footprint and sleeker look than the ring:

if you don’t want to drill, there are suction ones. Here’s one that is a step up from the typical clear suction cup:

Not sure why the picture won’t post in my last post but here’s the suction one I was referring to:

What's on the other side, to the left?

no doubt, I'd hang it on the tower like shown here

or this one. (i'd do a small hook, not a towel ring though) you can see the hook to the right of the faucet

they have it on the wall over on the right, but the ring is just too bulky looking. (as is the towel)

do something less bulky, and use a small hook of some sort.

or, just roll it up and keep on counter. (does it get used 10X a day? if not, it will be fine. change every other day)

Could you put a horizontal short towel bar on the panel on the front of the vanity by the sink? if you put a towel bar on the wall by the tower cabinet I don't think you will be able to swing open the door all the way to access the cabinet?

I like your towers. I vote to put the towel rings into the cabinets, but evaluate your towel rings to make sure they don't poke out too much and are pretty simple/sleek. Question: are your towers already attached to the wall, or are they currently just sitting there on top of your counter?

I really dislike towers sitting and hogging counter space but as for the towel ring do not drill holes into the side of a cabinet or into that nice backsplash get a standing towel holder or check out the suction ones it will depend on the tile you have whether it will stay.

Keep them away from the electrical outlets. You don't want water dripping into electrical outlets, even though they are GFCI.

Towers are like hi-rise buildings - more useful square footage than the ground-level plot below. I like mine. The OP's towers don't seem to be robbing too much counter space. In my bathroom, even DH doesn't clutter up the counters with various bathroom stuff now. It all goes in the tower. And we did hang the hand towels on the tower. When is the last time you hung a sopping wet towel anywhere? If it's sopping/dripping wet, I would never hang it anywhere (except maybe on a hook inside the shower, or on a fence outside) - not against a wall, nor on a towel bar dripping on the floor, nor on a towel ring dripping on the counter/touching the wall or cabinet. That just seems dumb. When you wipe your hands after washing, it doesn't get sopping, and if you accidentally drop it in a sink full of water, well, I would never just hang that back up. If it's that sopping, I would throw it in the washing machine and get out a fresh one.

I have a question for the OP: Are your towers already screwed into the wall and permanently in place? If not a have a suggestion on how to prevent any water from damaging the bottom of the cabinet over time, just in case someone doesn't wipe up a spill. I'll post a picture in a few minutes, have to look for it.

I just went through this with my remodel. I vetoed rings right off. Why? They bunch up the towel too much and tend to lay the drying towel right against the wall they are attached to. No air flow and bunching equals poor drying. I ended up with the 8" Ginger London Terrace, which is closer to the wall at the ends, but bows in the middle to a 3.5" projection. It works very nicely with my new, thick towels. I am not going to use those little guest towels in my own bathroom, so there was only one countertop tower holder that would hold a real hand towel and worked for me. I bought it and have not used it, because we installed the Ginger. I also had blocking placed in the wall when it was open, for attaching a wall-mount towel bar.

This is working very well for us, but we still have to wipe up drips from the walnut counter, so we have a wipe cloth that hangs under the sink. You can barely see the two prongs of the towel holder there. It is a swing-arm holder, which is another option for you.

This is one I have in the half-bath. Both of my selections are too "knobby" to go with your faucet style, but there are some that will work better. This 14" Swivel Arm Towel Bar

has a slim enough mounting plate that you may be able to mount it through the corner stile on your cabinet. It has two screws, so will be a sturdier install You can mount it on the back corner of the tower and have it swing outward toward the tile wall, or mount in on the front corner and have it swing toward the sink. With the small knobs at the end, it can better keep the towel from sliding off.

This one has a shorter 11" length, also has two screws that might be able to go through your corner stile on the cabinet, and has a nice curve to it to keep the towel off the cabinetry. These bars may have two swing arms, but if you don't like that, simply use the top swing arm to hang the towel.

Back to regular towel bars that are attached at both ends. This one has a similar cylindrical style to your faucet. It does not flair at the end, though. California Faucets 9" Towel Bar.

This one from Alno Creations is nice, and the style may go with your faucet, you will have to see. It comes in 12" size (that is measured 13" end-to-end) and in 8" size (9" end-to-end).

If you are not going to hit the stiles in your cabinet for mounting, I would strongly recommend that you add reinforcement somehow before mounting any towel bar there,

I also agree that the light switch will impede your drawer opening, so you will need to get a spacer between the cabinet and the wall. I like the idea of putting the tower on a small square of counter top material, as well.

I love your choice of materials. Those darn hand towels are always a problem. In a previous house I had hooks on the end of the vanity next to the sink and really liked them. Not sure about your configuration on the other side (left) of your sink. I would use a hook or ring and put it on the side of the tower. Could you share information about your vanity and your light fixture? And would love to see your entire bath - it looks beautiful.

I think that once you put everything away you will find that you have plenty of counter space. Just make those 4 people use all that storage for their stuff, and you will see. Construction is very difficult to live with. We had only a half bath (no full bath) for two months - 24" counter with a big vessel sink in the middle of it. I kept our sanity by having a place for everything and making sure that things were in their place. DH was great! Cooperation is very helpful during the stress of construction.

I like the light fixtures and the second choice of the hooks.

I agree with Nancy, once you get settled you will probably appreciate the towers and all the useful storage that they provide. I really like the materials and colors you chose.

Question: Are your light fixtures centered over your sinks?

Hand towels are a real problem - I've been looking at bath pics and in most of them there are none. Now, this is an idea :-D
