What color blanket ladder goes here?

I agreed to get a blanket ladder for our bedroom since I can’t stop draping towels over everything in sight & our last home left me with a traumatic fear of wall hooks (they were everywhere, it was terrifying).


What color do I have this thing stained? Do I choose an espresso to try to match the wood, a white to try to match the dresser, or a honey color to complement the shades?


I’ve already committed to purchasing the ladder. The contract is signed in blood & God may actually unsave all of humanity if I don’t use it.


ETA: I’ve since cleaned my room & we’re having molding installed today.

    Match to the dresser; you already have a lot of brown going.

    It doesn't look like you have space. How about an over the door towel rack?

    Or a towel ladder in the bathroom?

    Thank you deco- so like a dark walnut I suppose? You mean the dresser like the dark brown right? Or do you mean the vanity I painted white

    Why are there towels in the bedroom? A towel rack on the back of the bathroom door should be adequate for 2 adults.

    The vanity color.

    Grow up. Put hooks in the bath and put the towels in the bath. You are CLEAN when you step from a shower. A towel can be used more than once if hung to dry. Get a bathrobe. Hang that up too.

    Hang your towels in the bathroom. You're not in the dorm!

    Honestly stop leaving towels in the bedroom and how will this ladder help at all.I have no idea where it would go anyway.

    Hi Corrine. You say you collect them for your health? - I believe that hanging a wet towel anywhere let alone folding them to drape on a ladder would/should be a big health concern. I wouldn’t use a ladder for towels but instead focus on a bar in your bathroom for hanging a towel to dry properly. Since you have a ladder coming and you must use it, use it to display a cool throw or two either in the bedroom or your living room. But don’t use it for towels in your bedroom :)

    Love your sense of humor. Still I think you are nuts. Is there literally no way you can train yourself to walk that towel back to the bathroom? At least toss it over the shower rod/door?? why would you even care what color if it will be disguised as a tiny wet ghost most of the time? Anyway, I am with deco. Vanity color.

    I don't think your paint would last well if you are hanging wet towels on a wooden ladder.


    The over the door towel holder that Lil S posted above looks great. It's meant to be in the bathroom, but if you must hang towels in your bedroom, I think that's your best bet.

    Since you've purchased the ladder, what about using it to hold blankets in your bedroom? I'll send you a link of an idea. Keep it light, match the vanity.

    It seems like you already have a lot of dark colors. Maybe a light ladder might go wonderful with the rest of your room.

    Use the dang ladder for magazines ,, hang the towels in the bath where they BELONG.

    Here's one to start you off? : ) Jeeeeeeeesh.

    Match to the dresser. Have the finisher use three coats of polyurethane so that the finish is very water-resistant.

    My bathroom is on our first floor. My bedroom is on our second floor.

    I did purchase a bath robe for both myself and my husband.

    Have you ever asked your husband to only walk upstairs in his robe and never in a towel? The ladder is in fact for my health because I no longer take enough Lexapro to maintain my composure every time I see a towel in my bedroom.

    There are greater hills I’d rather die on- particularly the one called “Take Your Muddy Shoes Off At The Door”.

    Oh yeah, I'll die on THAT hill!! ANY shoe, for that matter.

    I never knew there was such a thing as a blanket ladder. And now I feel that I need one! I'm way too suggestible.

    Yes Jan and I choose life! I choose the ladder and the possibility of compromise during my serotonin diet. I choose LIFE!
