Towel hooks: varieties and subtleties of choice

A clean and tidy apartment is the dream of every hostess. An important attribute of such tidiness is the location of all things in strictly designated places.

It is customary to store towels hanging on hooks. However, in connection with the current variety of such types of fastening, the question arises of which hooks for towels to choose. We will talk about this in our article.

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

Towels that hang on hooks and are not stored on shelves or in other places without access to fresh air, the risk of reproduction and development of colonies of harmful microorganisms is much lower. They also save space, which is especially true for small bathrooms and kitchens in small apartments. And then, these personal hygiene items, hanging in places of direct use, create the necessary comfort for the inhabitants of the home.

Along with the view on the advantages of this type of fastening, there are also opposite opinions based on the possibility of disrupting the design and interior of the room due to hanging towels. But this disadvantage can hardly be true for bathrooms. Here they are always in place, especially since the appearance of modern bath towels, on the contrary, can only decorate such a room. In the kitchen, it is quite possible to do without hanging detergents for cleaning dishes after washing. And if there is a dishwasher, then towels in the kitchen are not needed at all.

There is a wide variety of types and types of towel hooks on the market today.

Perfect for those who do not want to violate the integrity of the wall. Perfect in the pre-shower area (where there is not too much humidity). But such holders cannot be recommended, since they are rather weak for a large towel - even a dry one.

Similar to the previous version, but more reliable (it is known that suction cup mounts often fall off the wall, dropping everything that hung on them). This type is suitable directly for the bathroom.

With the help of self-tapping screws, bolts and other building elements - such products are universal, but not very popular, since they require breaking the integrity of the wall structure.

At home, on your 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 flexible materials is plywood. Making a towel hook out of this material will not be difficult, even for a beginner.

• First you need to sand the plywood of the correct size, after which it needs to be primed. This will be the basis for future bindings.
• Further, only your imagination limits: you can paint the product in your favorite color or apply a drawing to it. So, you can draw a cute face if the hook is for a baby towel.
• Attach the finished base to the wall in a convenient way.

• To create an attachment, you can use a rope (from which you should make a loop), a crocodile, or even ordinary buttons.You can also make a double crochet hook using 2 fasteners. Or you can cut out decorative holders of any shape from the same plywood with a jigsaw and glue them into the slots sawn at the base according to the size of the finished holders. All details, of course, should be processed and then painted.
• You can add elegance to the mount by painting it in a single color (eg beige or white).

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