apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

It would be good to have a drying spot that's *not* the back of the door too... most backs-of-doors don't get a lot of cooling air flow, especially in the humidity of the bathroom.

I second both - dry towels should be within reach of the dripping wet person. And more than one person in the house means you need lots of space for towels to dry.

Speaking of which, I have a strong preference for bars over hooks. Towels never get dry on hooks.

I've installed double towel bars everywhere in my bathroom - just from Ikea, but likely there's a higher end version if you're in any way philosophically opposed to those clever Swedes. Double bars are fantastic - one towel can dry on the back one while the front one holds fresh towels. Double bars wouldn't work on the back of a door, though - they're too deep, and you'd never be able to open the door fully.

Or copy hotels, and install a luggage rack high above your toilet for fresh towels.

Observe how you move in the room. You want towels to be handy. If you step out of the shower and position yourself in front of the sink for all additional grooming, it's pointless to hang towels out of arm's reach.

Go about your business tomorrow and pay attention to how you operate.

Where you can reach them, where they will dry quickly enough, and where they don't obscure the most expensive wow factor in your new bath.
