Waht woulkd be the reason for a towel to hang in the shower ?

Yes, the shower/tiled area is large enough that the towel won't get wet. We have frameless glass walls, and I don't want to "fling" my towel over them because they are rather tall.

How nice to have a shower that large! I would just buy the matching towel hook and screw it in.

Not quite the same but i installed a wall mounted container for wipes on the tile wall next to the toilet. My designer just used command strips to mount to the tiles and after more than three years it is still fine. If it doesn’t work out in your shower you havent lost anything by trying.

I did have a basket mounted with screws in my tile shower after it was finished and that hasn’t caused any issues. It was done by the tile guy when he came back to fix a fissure in my marble counter and he had the appropriate tools and expertise to do it without harming the shower so that is another option if the Command strip doesn’t work.

Command makes strips that are suitable for water applications. The issue you are going to have is that the area of the mounted base is a lot smaller than the length of the command strip that would be sufficient to hold up the weight of a towel (need to consider the wet weight, which is a lot heavier).

We hung a basket of toys in our daughter's tub/shower combo with command strip water-resistant hooks. It has held up fine...but the hooks and adhesive strips are large. If you really want the hook to match your bath fixtures, you should probably drill into the tile. Or use one of the command hook (or off-brand) robe hooks that don't match your specific fixtures for awhile so you are sure you want one there, and then change it to a permanent fixture.

Another option is to use a clear suction cup style hook. If you keep a towel or robe hanging on it, you never see the hook anyway.

How about a hook that sits over the top of the glass:

Thank you all for your input. I may just try one of the Command hooks made for the shower to see how it works. I hadn’t thought about the option of being able to move it if I don’t like it in a specific location. Good idea even if I end up deciding to go with a screw in type hook.

Mariagrazia - thanks for the link and the suggestion. I am a little concerned about using a hook on the glass even though that’s what they are designed for.

You can buy towel/robe hooks that install with adhesive. I don't have experience with them, but they popped up constantly when I was looking for traditionally installed robe hooks. I think most import from China, but maybe they have worked out systems that will hold weight of a towel.

I have three commands hooks in my shower. They’ve been up for about 3 years with no issues. I don’t use them for towels, but two washcloths and a loofa. Good luck!

There are decorative Command larger size hooks with chrome finishes (also brushed nickel). They work with towels and they have an angled up shape- not the plastic hook shape. I bought mine at Target.

They do make Command strip hooks that are silver metal. The style may not exactly match the other in your bath, but most of the time, there will be a towel covering it, and in time, you won't really notice it.

You can use clear silicone to attach your hook. We used that on wall mounted soap/shampoo dispensers. The dispensers came with screws and silicone. We also have command hooks for our wash cloths in brushed nickel. But they aren’t as stylish as yours.

And you can remove the silicone with a razor blade scraper, if you need to move the hook

More great ideas! Thank you!

I like command hooks and use them in several places in my home. They don't often fail, but they can fail and I have found that they are more prone to fail as I hang heavier items. 5 years for my Lufa sponge (Wet area) - no fails. 5 years since I put up robe hooks in my closet (dry area) and I replace at least once a year.

With a heavier item I would be concerned that if it fails the metal hook may crack the floor tiles when it falls.

Jennifer- that is a concern, I agree.

We bought some really nice looking ones that stick on with adhesive. they look great and weve has them up for over 2 months hanging heavy towels on them. no sign of them falling off or moving at all. the brand is Smedbo

Thank you Sue 430!

The problem with the Command strip idea is that ehile it holds, it's wonderful However, what would the damage be if the Command strip lets go? I wouldnt do it.

I used a command strip to hang a metal hook (intended to be screw mounted) on the side of my cabinets. It never failed. But that was a hand towel and not a heavy bath towel. But it was solid. For whatever that is worth (maybe not a fair comparison though).
