When we think about furnishing a bathroom, towels are often overlooked because we only evaluate their “functional” component.
Instead they can become a great style ally, also due to the way you choose to arrange them.
Take inspiration from our seven ideas for towel racks in the bathroom and find out how to arrange them in an elegant way.
Where to put towels in the bathroom: 7 ideas (even for small bathrooms)
A towel holder, a ladder, a basket: from the most classic to trendy ideas, take inspiration from our gallery on how to arrange towels in the bathroom.
1. Ideas for a towel rack in the bathroom
The first idea is the most classic arrangement, that is, buying a towel holder .
If you have a small bathroom, the most convenient solution is the wall-mounted towel holder: simply mount one or more rods on the side of the sink cabinet, or hang one under the sink top, removable or fixed, for extra order .
The second option is the floor towel holder: from those in steel to those in wrought iron, in golden metal or in wood, you are spoiled for choice in terms of style and colors.
2. A towel ladder
Very fashionable on social message boards, the staircase has become a furnishing accessory that interior designers also love to place in different parts of the house.
In an exotic or boho style bathroom they are perfect for storing even luxury towels .
You can purchase a simple ladder or a more complete model with shelves where you can store towels folded on top of each other and complete with decorative objects, plant pots, soap or cream dispensers.
3. Organize them in the bathroom cabinet under the sink
To keep clean towels tidy, you can organize them in a vanity unit .
If you have luxury towels or towels in colors that match the furnishings, you can arrange them visible in open compartments, or, if you want to maintain maximum order, place them closed inside drawers, which must be sufficiently wide and deep to hold even the largest towels.
If you have already installed the sink and only have a countertop without drawers or shelves, you can purchase a separate cabinet.
4. Place towels in the cabinet or on an open shelf
Even wall units and open shelves can be used to furnish the bathroom with objects, plants, and, indeed, towels.
Having them at hand is certainly much more convenient than keeping them in a closed cabinet, but the risk of disorder is just around the corner.
Make sure you always keep them folded impeccably and have coordinated sets, so as not to create too much confusion and maintain a coherent style with the rest of the bathroom.
5. Use simple shelves
When the bathroom is particularly small , the advice is to “go high”, that is, use all the space available on the walls (see this link for other tips for furnishing a small bathroom).
You can also hang shelves in places not normally used : above the toilet or above the door.
However, be careful when driving the plugs into the bathroom walls, because you risk making a hole in a water pipe.
6. Place towels in a basket
If, on the other hand, you have a particularly spacious bathroom, another idea for storing towels is to roll them up in baskets and baskets .
You can place large baskets on the floor for shower towels, smaller ones on shelves or on the shelf of a cabinet or sink for face towels and guest washcloths .
7. Use hooks
Behind the door, next to the shower or even on the shower itself: hooks for hanging towels are a very convenient alternative that you can easily add, move and remove.
The hooks can also be chosen based on the style of the bathroom: from steel ones for a minimal bathroom, to metal or marble ones for a luxury bathroom, to wood for a Scandinavian style bathroom.
