Help Wanted
I need some advice. I am working on new paint in my bathroom. I think I have a good idea on what colors I want. The issue I am having is the towel rack placement. You can't really tell from this picture, but the toilet is in the lower right corner. The towel rack hangs right. over. the. toilet. Yuck. I've never been fond of this arrangement and now I have the perfect opportunity to fix it. But where to put the towels?
I can move them to the back wall above the tub. But that puts us leaning over the large soaking tub to hang them up. Out of direct fire of the toilet...but pretty inconvenient.
I could slide them over so they hang above the end of the tub. A little easier to reach....a little. But doable.
I could buy one of those over-the-door towel racks and hope there is enough air flow to help them dry and not get stinky with mildew. And what if the door won't close? Mama ain't got time for that. HELP!! I'm not opposed to using hooks instead of a towel bar. I need some ideas. I know you know what to do.....

I was trying to find a picture for you of our house in NM-no success yet. We had ours hanging over the tub. Very convientant for the tub, but not so much for the shower-which we used 99% of the time :) As for being hard to reach, I let Brian put his on the inside since he has longer arms, and I took the outside. It really wasn't a pain to lean over and hang them up. We have hooks in our bathroom now (since all 5 of us share the bathroom) and if I am careful to not bunch the towel, I don't have a problem with them not drying. Good luck!
I was going to say just move it to be above the tub not the back side, before I even saw you suggest that. So that is my opinion!
I have those hooks on my door that hang the towels. I hand mine and Ry's and they dry up pretty good. I don't know how humid your digs are? But I like them. I use both metal in one bathroom and plastic in the other (I think the plastic one was a dollar store find actually. If the door doesn't close it can be shaved down/sanded down a little at the top. Just a thought. I think a towel rack would be cute at the end of the tub as well. Is there no shower in that bathroom? Just a tub? Couldn't tell from the pictures. Happy Remodeling...I love a transformation project! :)
I would put it at the end of the tub and maybe a little higher than it is already. I also have an over the door hanger which is on the closet door (which is in the bathroom), it has four hooks and that is where our towels hang. The door closes just fine and the towels dry quite well when each towel is strung onto 2 hooks. Good luck and I can't wait for the end result.
We are behind.the.door.towel.rack people. Can't wait to see the results of the makeover!
