For neatness I would go with a Dbl Rod. Get the widest one you can that won’t look crowded.Good Luck

I’m doing two bars stacked to avoid overlapping. We have extra thick/long bath sheets that require extra breathing room :)

I'm assuming since it's the master it will be used by 2 people. I prefer to bring in coordinating colors in bath towels, a different color for each person. a standard 24" bar works fine for 2. Triple fold and single drape. Preferably over a heat source to help with drying.

I would not put two towels on a single 24" bar.

No more towel rods for me. I like the concept of hooks instead.

I'm planning on making something to hang towels in my main/guest bath using old glass door knobs from my husbands moms home. But I personally think it's too messy for my taste in my master.

Cheryl, I like the idea of using 2 different colors of bath towels. I was going to use white so I could bleach them, but every white towel I've looked at says "do not bleach". How the heck do you keep them white if you can bleach them? LOL.

@Beverly, I purchased hooks for the master, but it has been 2 months and my husband still hasn't installed them. We did install them in the boys' bathroom and I love them, but think they're too messy looking for the master.

Another option could be a train rack, mounted higher on the wall. Some styles allow you to hang two towels several inches apart, one near the wall on a bar and another on a bar on the front edge. Mine will convert to that if I remove the top shelf.

Near the shower I put a round rod to put the towel on for taking a shower. Near the sink I put a towel hook. It is a pita! The towel will not stay on it...always on the sink or worse yet, on the floor. Am looking and thinking what else I could use. We have matt black rods in our bath which I do like. I have a matching TP holder and 18 inch towel rod under the window by the stool.

Also regarding white towels, I only wash white towels with other white towels or sometimes white sheets. I find white towels have a tendency to start looking dingy if washed with anything non-white. And I use oxiclean in addition to laundry detergent.

ETA: If I find a stain on a white towel, I spray it with a clorox bleach and water solution I mix up and keep in a bottle. I just spray the area with the stain and then it goes into the wash with the other white towels, oxiclean, and laundry detergent and I do a cold wash first so the stain doesn't set. Stains don't happen often so I don't spray the bleach solution very much and it hasn't had any ill effects yet.

I still like hooks my husband is never going to fold a towel and hang it up after 50+ yrs I don’t think it will happen and I don’t find hooks unattractive at all.

Thanks....katinparadise - for that tip!

I appreciate all the suggestions. I decided to go with 2-24" bars stacked. I looked at the double bar, but it sticks out from the wall over 6" and I was afraid we would continuously run into it.

I also appreciate all the tips for keeping white towels white! I never use bleach in the laundry, but my colored towels always seem to fade and look like bleach was spilled, which is why I thought I'd just try white & bleach this time.

@Patricia, I know what you mean. My husband won't take the time to actually hang the towel on a bar, but he won't hang it on a hook properly either. Towels are not the hill I want my marriage to die on, so I've decided to just roll my eyes, curse him under my breath and hang them for him. :)

I find that towels do not dry well on hooks. I have also bought towels with loops on them, and the loops always rip eventually.

I bought white hotels years ago from Costco, bleach them all the and they have held up very well.
