Towel hook ideas for glass shower please

9 years ago

Hi Houzz Community,
Due to the shower location in my bathroom reno, I am going to make the leap from being a lifetime towel bar user to towel hooks! I have room for one, but maybe not two, hook on the wall near the opening of shower door(pivot). There will also be a glass panel between door and wall where I was thinking about putting a hook. (Do not want towel bar door handle). I don't think I want to install anything permanent on the glass (except the vertical door handle) so can anyone give feedback on metal hanging/over the glass hooks or suction hooks?

In my last house I had this issue and I used one of those multi-hook things that are meant to hang over the top of a door. Hung it over the glass. Not gorgeous, but not awful either. Let's face it, no one really sees your master bath, and if they were going to you could take it down. It was super functional and did absolutely no damage to the glass.

You only need one hook near the shower for the person currently using it (can it really not be on any sliver of wall on the side the door opens on?)-- put more on the back of the bathroom door, as towels can dry far away. In a pinch, the user towel can go on the floor where it's easy to grab, and all the hooks can be for drying.

Do you have a picture of the bathroom?

If you only have room for 1 hook on the wall do you have room for one of these ?

I was hesitant about installing a permanent hook on both sides of our frameless glass shower. Best decision ever. Looks great and very functional.

I put in one of these pivot towel bars and loved it!

The wall space for the hook is on the left and not sure if you can see it but the doorway is almost butting up against the shower on the right so no room there. We are putting in a barn door on bedroom side so cannot put hooks on back of door. The glass company does make a hook to match the door handle.

You have room for a hook on the opposite wall ,I would get the free standing rack and move it when you need it .
