Where you place your towel accessories can make or break your bathroom’s functionality. Poor placement leads to wet floors, blocked doors, or daily frustration. A little planning goes a long way.
Towel rails should be close to the shower or bath, allowing easy reach without dripping water across the room. If space is tight, vertical rails or double bars can increase hanging room.
Hooks are great for family bathrooms. Place them at different heights to suit kids and adults, ideally behind the door or along a clear wall. Choose styles that can hold the weight of damp towels.
Towel rings work best next to vanities, keeping hand towels accessible and off the bench. Mount them around 50–60cm from the floor for easy reach and visual balance.
Always consider the flow of movement through the room. Avoid placing accessories where they’ll block cupboards, drawers or the pathway between fixtures. Well-positioned accessories support your routine and add a polished look.
