Regardless of interior design, no bathroom will be comfortable and cozy without hangers and hooks that can be used for towels and other bath accessories. Hooks will help to organize storage of things, and sometimes to decorate the room.

Kinds

By material

Hooks should be made of durable material that tolerates moisture and temperature changes. It is recommended to use wooden, plastic or metal options. We will analyze each type individually.

  • Wood. Technologies and the wood processing system do not automatically leave any reason for concern about the endurance of the product. The composition, which is used in factories for the manufacture of wooden objects, is water-repellent and allows the hooks to last as long as possible. They can be made to order in a carved way or purchased at a store.
  • Plastic. Moisture to this material is not terrible, but it is worth fearing quality. It is important to focus on the choice of manufacturer and place of purchase. Of the obvious pluses, a huge range of colors and designs, as well as the most affordable price, should be noted.
  • Metal. In the shops there are 2 options for hooks, namely: stainless steel or brass, which are coated with a special anti-corrosion compound. They will withstand any load, do not rust and will always look stylish. Often matched to the color of door handles (bronze, copper, gold or silver). The main disadvantage is the high price.
  • Bone. For lovers of expensive and high-quality products, this hook option is suitable. It is a durable material that does not require replacement for many years. Dampness and temperature changes are not a problem. The sole task of the owner of such a “hanger” will be to choose the mount correctly.

Adherents of something unusual can try hangers made of glass or stone, as well as with hooks, clothespins, ropes, bulbs, shells and much more. Specialists recommend purchasing stainless hangers, because they retain their original appearance and do not wear out for a long time.

If the decor item has lost its factory luster, then it is easily fashionable to polish and return it to its intended place on the wall.

By mount

When choosing a hanger, it is important to take its original purpose and practicality as a basis, so it’s worthwhile to think in advance how the hooks will be attached to the walls and what weight they must support. Each type of mount has its own advantages and disadvantages.

  • To ensure that the towel does not slip, and the holder lasts longer regardless of the load, hooks are used that are attached to one or two screws. This method allows you to increase the level of reliability of the accessory. What are the downsides? Such a system is open. The disadvantage is the lack of aesthetics due to the visible hats of the screws and in the damaged wall. Moreover, drilling a tile without damaging it is difficult, and the selected location with the holes made will forever remain unchanged.
  • The second such option is a hidden mount. It allows you to install the holder using self-tapping screws and hide them. In this case, the self-tapping screws are attached to the intended surface, on which a strap with a maximum of 6 hooks is worn.
  • If you want to avoid holes and drilling the wall, then the ideal choice would be a hook on a suction cup (vacuum) or Velcro (self-adhesive). Plus - quick installation, as they are easy to attach to any smooth surface, as well as practicality. There are only a few flaws: they are much inferior in reliability and endurance, are not designed for heavy objects (clothes or large terry towels will not last on them), and also often require replacement due to moisture. The way out of this situation may be to connect the suction cup to the wall using silicone sealant.

It is worth considering that for such holders not every wall is suitable, but extremely smooth, even and clean (without plaque and dirt).

What else can you hang in the bathroom?

  • Extra towel for guests.
  • Lady’s cosmetic bag.
  • Light clothing / bathrobe.
  • Washcloth, brush, pumice.

  • Jewelry and accessories.
  • Storage bags. Special containers.
  • Bath mat.
  • And even toilet paper.

  8. Destination It is more correct to think in advance what will hang on the hooks and at what distance, and then, starting from this, pick up the holder.

Important Design Tips

  1. It is important to consider the color of the product. In order for everything to look concise in one room, it is necessary to use holders of the same shade.
  2. The color of the accessory must be different from the floor and wall covering to maintain aesthetics.
  3. It is better to choose bright holders for the interior in restrained tones, and in pastel and solid colors in saturated ones.
  4. In a small room it is better to use not very massive holders of bright colors.

What is the best arrangement of holders?

First of all, it is worth starting from convenience and comfort. It is recommended to have two main hangers in the bathroom: one near the shower or jacuzzi, and the second near the door. Thanks to this arrangement, you don’t have to get out of the water or reach for towels, and you can also take everything you need immediately at the entrance to the bathroom.

Secondary hooks can be mounted on suction cups to a mirror, door or wall. In other cases, they are fixed near the sink, next to the washing machine or near a bidet.

Can I make a towel holder myself?

Sure you may! First of all, you need to decide on the design and the necessary components to create a future masterpiece. Then it is important to prepare the base of the hanger. Here you can use wood treated with a special solution, thick cardboard, sheathed with water-repellent fabric, plywood, a metal plate or something else. No need to be afraid to use various items in this process.

Leather eyelets, small wooden sticks, ropes, old keys, rubber toys, plastic figures or even door handles - all this is suitable in order to become hooks or part of them. Any received option will become a unique and interesting part of the house.

As you can see, today both the Russian and foreign markets offer the consumer a wide range of bathroom accessories, thanks to which the buyer can purchase absolutely any hook, independently choosing the price, design, color, shape and size. Hangers and hooks can be classic and avant-garde, for example, of bronze.

Bright children's options are also popular, whose cost can vary significantly - it's up to you.
