Towel hooks: types and subtleties of choice

Clean and neatly decorated apartment - the dream of every hostess. An important attribute of such tidiness is the location of all things in places strictly reserved for them.

Towels can be stored in a suspended state on hooks. However, in connection with the existing variety of such types of fastening, the question arises as to which towel hooks to choose. We will talk about this in our article.

Advantages and disadvantages of hooks

These devices are a good option for storing towels, as this method does not contradict the basic requirements of sanitation, and for convenience it suits the hosts and guests.

On towels that hang on hooks and not stored on shelves or in other places without fresh air, the risk of reproduction and the development of colonies of harmful microorganisms is much lower.In addition, they save space, which is especially important for small bathrooms and kitchens in small apartments. And then, these items of personal hygiene, hanging in places of direct use, create the necessary comfort for the inhabitants of the home.

Along with a look at the advantages of this type of attachment, there are also opposing opinions based on the possibility of a violation of the design and interior of the room due to hanging towels. But this drawback can hardly be fair for bathrooms. Here they are always in place, especially since the view of modern bath towels, on the contrary, can only decorate such a room. In the kitchen, it is quite possible to do without hanging means for wiping dishes after washing. And if there is a dishwasher, then the towels in the kitchen are not needed.

Varieties of products

Today there is a wide variety of types and types of towel hooks on the market.

On suckers

Perfect for those who do not want to violate the integrity of the wall. Perfectly fit into the pre-shower zone (where there is not too much humidity). But it is impossible to recommend such holders, since they are rather weak for a large towel - even a dry one.

Velcro

Similar to the previous option, but more reliable (it is known that the attachment on the suction cups often fall away from the wall, dropping everything that hung on them). This type will fit directly to the bathroom.

Screwed

With the help of screws, bolts and other building elements - such products are universal, but not too popular, as they require a violation of the integrity of the wall structure.

Do it yourself

At home, on its own, you can make towel hooks from a variety of materials: stone, wood, leather, or even concrete.

However, one of the most popular, affordable and malleable materials is plywood. It is not difficult to make a towel hook out of this material even for a beginner.

  • First, you need to grind the plywood of the right size, after which it needs to be primed. This will be the basis for future fixings.
  • Further limits only your imagination: you can paint the product in your favorite color or apply a picture on it. So, you can draw a cute face, if the hook is intended for a children's towel.
  • The ready basis to attach to the wall in a convenient way.
  • You can use a rope (from which to make a loop), a “crocodile”, or even ordinary buttons to create a fastener. You can also make a double hook using 2 fasteners. And it is possible to cut out decorative holders of any shape from the same plywood with a jigsaw and glue them into the cut-through sawn into the basis of the size of the finished holders. All the details, of course, should be processed and then painted.
  • The attachment can be given elegance by painting it in a monochrome tone (for example, beige or white).

This towel rack made of plywood is suitable for a dry room, as the material will not stand high humidity.

What is the best height to hang?

You can hang towel hooks at any height convenient for you. The standard is the distance from the floor at 190-200 centimeters. But it is also important to take into account the growth of households. For example, if a child uses towels located on this mount, then the height should be reduced under his height. It is worth remembering that if you have pets, you do not need to hang towels too low.
