For something with a little more flexibility, swivel towel bars are another good option. Swivel bars attach to the wall of the bathroom or shower and features bars which are secured with swivel hinges that allows the bar to swing a full half circle from one wall to the other. The biggest advantage of a swivel towel bar is that the bars can lie flat against the wall not taking up any space when they are not in use but can be brought out to hang a towel when needed.

Freestanding towel bars are another option for anyone who does not want a towel bar that screw into the wall.  These towel bars are supported by feet or a base and can be easily moved around the bathroom. They are available in options that hold multiple towels and are a very convenient option.

If a towel bar alone won’t provide the necessary organization, a shelf and towel bar might be a better option. These towel bars will allow not only for hanging towels, but also for folded towels on top of the shelf and more, saving even more space and keeping the bathroom nice and organized.

How do I install a towel bar that attaches to a wall?

Different towel bars will require different installation and each will come with specific instructions for the particular model. Some are simply screwed directly to the wall and others come with a small attachment piece which is first screwed to the wall and then the towel bar ends or secured on that base hook, for a sleek, flawless look.

Where should I hang my towel bar and how high up?

Towel bars have no specific height they should be installed at, but they should be installed around eye height and high enough off the top of things like toilets or counters so that a towel folded in half lengthwise will not hit the top of anything else in the bathroom.
