Help with bath accessories, please

2 years ago

Please help me pick a hand towel ring/bar/holder.

I am trying to decide on a towel holder for this bathroom. The space between the outlet and light switches is 8.5”. The top of the outlet and switch covers is 18” above the counter top and the bottom of the light is 30” above the countertop.

What would look better- an organic shape to tie in with the light and agate handles? Or go simple to match the faucet and drawer handles? Gold? Black?

Here are a lot of options that I like (see? I need help!).

I had this image of a gold branch holding the towel, like the pulls below. Is that too strange? Would it even show after a towel was on it? Has anyone done anything like that before?

Organic to go with the light and agate handles?

Simple to go with the faucet and handles?

A little something different? Most of these stick out 2-3” from the wall. Would that look strange since it is on a side wall and you would see the space between the wall and towel? The vanity is 32” wide so space is at a premium.

Thanks everyone! I definitely have been overthinking it and that’s why I posted here. Decision fatigue.

@ker9 This is the guest bathroom, for both overnight guests and day guests. But my family uses it sometimes too because it is in the hall and the most accessible (hoping to break them of this habit).

Even though it is busy on that wall, I think the towel will have to go over there. The bathroom is small so there is little room between the vanity and toilet, and I just can’t hang the towel over the toilet.

I ordered a couple of the ones (Claudia, Aino, and Streamline) I posted and will hold those up when they come in. I also found a table top one that I am picking up tomorrow.

Keep it simple. Match one of the handle/style finishes. Put it to the left of the mirror rather than to the right.

I would not put the towel ring on the left side of the mirror near the toilet. If you go with a twig hook (?) I would change the pulls on your vanity to “match.”

Do you have an old towel ring that you can use as an example to see if you want a ring or a bar, or whether it should be left or right? Even a photoshop mock up might help. Whichever and whereever you choose it to be, I would keep it simple.

To the left of the mirror, simple, small, matching your current hardware. I think you’re over-thinking it.

You have a lovely bathroom. A SIMPLE small towel bar or ring is enough. (I prefer bars to rings, but that’s me.)

Perhaps a hand towel stand on the counter since walls space is minimum. We don’t know how often this room is used by how many.

Simple brass the same finish as your faucet and shower fixtures. What brand are they and is there a matching one, or close to it from the same company? I'd get a small towel bar to hang on the wall over the toilet. Too much going on with switches to go on that wall. Too weird to float it to the left of the mirror.

Since it looks like all of your other hardware is silver, we might suggest just going with a simple silver bar. Here are two ideas for you from recent designs of ours:
