Each household's bathroom is different. If air circulation isn't an issue for your home, then you may never think twice about how you store your bath towels. But if you're concerned that they're starting to smell a little mildewy after a few uses, it might be time for a bathroom towel rack redo.
The best bathroom towel rack for you will depend on the size of your bathroom and the number of people who share it. Each one of your damp towels should have its own hook or bar to dry on — don't double up if you want to keep things clean and dry!
You'll notice that each of the racks we've chosen is a little different. This is to accommodate the needs of spaces both small and large, and also permanent and rented. Some of these are mounted, adjustable fixtures that are great for replacing old racks or for drilling into your walls. Others are adhesive, or they hook onto the back of your door so they can be shifted or removed without a trace.
If you have the floor space for a freestanding ladder rack, it can give a clever, boutique hotel touch to a space. But even if you don't, bathroom towel racks that have multiple prongs and hooks for easy hanging help to store a lot at once. Getting multiple racks may also be a consideration if you need a place to neatly store washcloths, bathrobes, hair towels, and shower caps.
We've stacked up 10 different towel racks here, so you can find the one that works best for you!
This bathroom towel rack provides convenient storage for both a bath or hand towel, and it mounts into the wall with screws.
The bar extends between 15 and 28 inches long — which is incredibly important if you're replacing an old rack. Opting for this one means that you'll be able to match the exact size without having to drill and fill more holes in your tiles.
If your bathroom door doesn't have a hook, rack, or towel bar affixed to it already, well, we have to admire your restraint. However, this double hook from Moen is infinitely more practical than leaving that valuable bathroom real estate unoccupied.
Available in brushed nickel, chrome, and oil-rubbed bronze finishes, it showcases a minimalist, anchor-like silhouette and neatly hangs two items that didn't have a proper home before.
If your tiny bathroom has blank walls, you can eke out some extra storage with this bathroom towel rack. With its six available slots, this reviewer-favorite rack organizes your entire towel collection (or a part of it, at least) so that your towels are rolled up and ready to grab whenever you need one.
Just keep in mind that this bathroom towel rack isn't for holding your damp terrycloth linens — it's for storing fresh ones.
Surely you're not just planning on getting one bathroom towel rack and calling it a day? This set contains five matching pieces, so you can outfit your entire bathroom in the same sleek metallic accents.
This option comes with a 16-inch towel bar (also available in a 24-inch version), toilet paper holder, large robe hook, and two smaller hooks. The two matching hooks are adhesive, while everything else must be drilled in to install.
This bathroom towel rack is the clear crowd favorite on Amazon — its 9K reviews tout its affordability and sturdiness. Plus, it's versatile enough to be used in any room of the home.
This rack is equipped with 11 hooks, which makes it perfect for a shared-sibling bathroom, or simply for keeping all of your robes neatly hung at the ready.
Here's a twist on your standard over-the-door hanger: This bathroom towel rack may take up more space, but it lets you drape towels over each bar to both prevent deterioration of the material, and to dry them out faster. It also has two hooks at the very bottom for extra storage.
Reviewers do advise, though, that you'll need 8 inches of extra clearance for this rack if your door opens against a wall.
You can easily add a towel bar to a shower door or bathroom wall without drilling, thanks to this adhesive stainless steel rack. Users say that it sticks firmly into place, and they also advise using a level before adhering it to make sure that it goes on straight.
It's a splurge, but getting a towel warmer is a total game-changer. Installing one on your bathroom wall means you'll never want to wrap up in a room-temperature towel ever again. Plus, if you live in a humid climate where your damp towels never seem to be able to get fully dry, investing in a warmer like this is a pretty practical thing to do.
This model from Amba operates via an on/off switch, and heats up very quickly. Users do caution that it can get quite hot, and many also advise installing a timer for it to set a designated off time.
If you have floor space to spare, it's well spent on this standing steel towel rack from YAMAZAKI. Its build allows users to drape towels and washcloths on each towel rung, spacing them out so they dry evenly.
Plus, if you've invested in patterned or waffle-weave bath towels, this is a great way to put their fun visual textures on display.
Have your towel handed right to you after you get out of the bath with this brass, rotational, swing-arm towel holder. The six arms of this rack position flat against the wall when not in use, so you don't have another piece of furniture cluttering up your water closet.
This bathroom towel rack is also useful for holding multiple hand towels, washcloths, or even robes if it's positioned up high. It mounts into the wall, so it's a fixture that'll be endlessly useful in a permanent space.
