We lease a (new) home that has 4 bathrooms. There was one towel rack in three of the bathrooms. Instead of screwing something into the walls I bought inexpensive coat trees (?) one even has a place that you would normally put umbrellas but that is where I put books and extra toilet tissue. I just hate going to someone else’s bathroom and run out of toilet tissue!
We don’t have any children at home BUT we live near Mickey and Minnie so our bathrooms see a lot of guests.

We custom made something similar…two of them, actually. One for the little hall by the front door for our coats and bags and one in the kids bath for all their towels. They look great and they’re just we needed!

Wow, I thought I was weird…I found hooks at Pier 1 years ago, and have been using those! They came in packs of 3…so you could do more or less, and wouldn’t be limited to what the hook racks have. Also works great for robes!

You are never going to believe this…..but I planned to post this EXACT post this week. I even took pictures. Unfortunately, Wednesday snuck up on me, and it did not get done. Well, actually it did, just not be me. So fun!!!

This is a reminder to me. I have two girls who just can’t seem to use a towel more then once.
I saw a DOUBLE rung towel rack the other day on clearance at Lowes and my DH said not to bother because that would mean they would actually have to hang them up.
I have a hook thing out in my garage I got a yard sale that I need to paint and get up. I think they could manage that .

That’s a great idea but my boys just prefer to leave their wet towels on the bedroom floor. Any suggestions for that??

I did the same thing for my four kids in our last military quarters. I bought a four-hook rack at Target and hung it up in the main hall outside the bathroom. There was no room inside the bathroom, and it was the only one that had a shower or a tub…and that was for six people!

Great idea! Sounds like it would work for me too. Blessings.

I do that also!!! It is sooooo much easier and eye pleasing to me. I think regular towel racks promote mildewing of the towels….the way they hang…they don’t really ever dry. Great post!!!

Such a great tip. We live in an apartment now with the dreaded ring that you are describing. Between the three of us it is just not cutting it. I am going to try this. Any excuse to drive 45 minutes to IKEA I will take!
