A more “brutal” move is to hang textiles on a chain.

Materials of manufacture and which towels are best to choose
When considering different options and choosing where to buy bath towels, you need to carefully study the range of products on offer.
Modern manufacturers and sellers offer a fairly extensive selection of such products, which are sold separately or as whole sets, but it is important to choose the right material for manufacture:
- cotton, an excellent and natural fabric, ideal for carrying out hygiene procedures on a regular basis, easily absorbs moisture without damaging the skin;
- velor is characterized by increased softness and a texture that is comfortable for the skin; it is important to highlight the reduced wear resistance of such material and its tendency to be damaged when washed;
- synthetics, a highly durable material that absorbs remaining moisture quite well, such products are offered in a wide variety of decor and color or shade solutions.
Particularly popular are combined materials, which are a combination of natural and synthetic fabrics.
This is the best solution for combining price and quality, while the products maximally comply with the requirements of sanitation and hygiene, making it possible to purchase several sets for timely replacement.

Bathroom size
The size of your bathroom may also play a role in your choice of towel color. Just as the color of the walls affects the space of the room, the color of the towel can also have a similar effect. Dark, heavy towels darken the overall space of a room, making it feel smaller. Lighter colors on your towels brighten up the space and help make it feel airy, light, and more open.
If you have a small bathroom, consider a white or light color that coordinates with your decor. If you have an oversized bathroom that feels too big, darker colors can give the space a more intimate, cozy feel.

How to make a hanger with your own hands
It is not necessary to purchase a ready-made bathroom hanger. You can build it yourself. This will save you from serious expenses and give the room a unique look.
A floor clothes hanger (a primitive stepladder after styling) will become a convenient console for towels. But such options are rarely suitable for a bathroom interior.
They can be replaced by the original wall version with clothespins.
For it you will need:
- clothespins (according to the number of towels);
- self-tapping screws, glue;
- decorative wooden block;
- pencil;
- ruler;
- screwdriver;
- screwdriver
Conventionally, all work is divided into several stages.
Among them:
- Preparation, marking.
- Assembly.
- Installation, checking.
Step 1. On the back of the block and the wall you need to mark the location of fasteners and clothespins. It is important to maintain the same distance.
Step 2. Clothespins are glued or screwed to the marked places on the beam.
Step 3. The resulting structure is screwed to the bathroom wall and cabinet door using two self-tapping screws. The strength of the device is checked.
Clothespins can be replaced with office clips and screwed directly to the wall or door.
A tidy bathroom will make your morning shower quick and invigorating. Carefully collected towels will save time and effort in searching. The resulting time can be spent on morning news and communication with relatives.
Material
The comfort of use largely depends on the choice of material, and given the frequency of use in everyday life, this parameter is one of the most important. Absorbent properties, tactile sensations, individual characteristics and purpose of the towel influence the choice of material.
Natural fibers are indispensable for children, absorb water well and have skin-friendly characteristics. Bamboo, cotton and linen are excellent choices, and if made using the right technology, they will last much longer. Such materials hold their shape well, and if painted well, do not fade and do not cause allergic reactions in family members.
Their only disadvantage is their high cost, but given the service life and the importance of personal comfort, we can say that the investment will pay off and will not be a waste of the budget. Choosing a bath towel made from natural materials means taking care of your family.
Synthetic materials are less pleasant to the touch, but they are quite suitable for foot towels or as beach towels, as they are inexpensive and functional. When folded, these towels take up less space, making it easy to take from the gym, on a trip, to the beach or to the pool.
In addition, the synthetics in such towels serve as an addition to the main material, making them much easier to care for. Semi-synthetic waffle towels are quite suitable for daily use, in addition, modern manufacturers make them of quite high quality.
Size, color and placement
It is most convenient to have in stock several sets of towels of different sizes, differing in basic characteristics. Various sizes are available for arms, face, body and legs. In addition, you should take into account the arrival of guests and provide a separate towel for them.
Most common sizes:
- large from 100 cm by 150 cm, this format is suitable as a home bath;
- medium from 70 cm by 125 cm, suitable as a bathhouse for children, a beach one, and will also become a convenient travel companion;
- small from 50 cm by 90 cm can be used for wiping hands, and is also suitable for a guest option;
- mini from 30 cm by 30 cm is suitable for wiping feet, performing cosmetic procedures or for other purposes where it is not necessary to absorb a large volume of liquid.
Depending on your preferences, you can create an individual set of towels for each family member, having a second set as a replacement while the main one is washed.
The color scheme largely depends on the storage location, since an irrationally selected color scheme can disrupt the overall picture and spoil the perception of the design of the room as a whole.
It is more convenient to place the main set on special towel hangers. Depending on the interior, chrome with a metallic sheen or multi-colored plastic holders are suitable for the bathroom, depending on the interior.
Access to the hanger must be equipped in such a way as to ensure ease of use, as well as provide conditions for drying.
Accordingly, if towels are in plain sight, it means they influence the overall style of the room, so it is necessary to pay attention to color selection. The easiest way is to choose neutral shades of pastel colors; they can be easily combined and combined with any colors and with each other.
Storage in specially equipped drawers and shelves is certainly convenient, but is only suitable for spare sets, since used and wet towels do not dry when folded.
Options for stylish design and ergonomic equipment for storage systems in the bathroom are shown in numerous photos with bathroom towels, which successfully combine color schemes and practicality for daily use.
