By material

Hooks must be made of durable material that can withstand moisture and temperature changes. Wood, plastic or metal options are recommended. Let's analyze each type separately.

  • Wood. The technology and woodworking system automatically leave no reason to worry about the endurance of the product. The composition used in factories for making wooden items is water-repellent and allows the hooks to last as long as possible. They can be custom carved or purchased from the store.
  • Plastic. Moisture is not terrible for this material, but quality is worth fearing. It is important to focus on the choice of the manufacturer and the place of purchase. Of the obvious advantages, it should be noted a huge range of colors and designs, as well as the most affordable price.
  • Metal. There are 2 options for hooks in stores, namely: made of stainless steel or brass, which are coated with a special anti-corrosion compound. They will withstand any stress, will not rust and will always look stylish. They are often matched to the color of the 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 will not require replacement for many years. Dampness and temperature changes are not a problem. The only task of the owner of such a "hanger" will be to choose the right mount.

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

If the decor item has lost its factory shine, then it can be easily polished and returned to its intended place on the wall.

By fastening

When choosing a hanger, it is important to take its original purpose and practicality as a basis, so it is worth considering in advance how the hooks will be attached to the walls, and how much weight they must withstand. Each type of mount has its own advantages and disadvantages.

  • In order to prevent the towel from slipping and the holder to last longer regardless of the load, hooks attached to one or two self-tapping screws are used. This method allows you to increase the level of reliability of the accessory. What are the cons? This system is open. The disadvantage is the lack of aesthetics due to visible screw heads and in the damaged wall. Moreover, it is difficult to drill a tile without damaging it, and the chosen place 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 strip is put on, providing for a maximum of 6 hooks.
  • If you want to avoid holes and wall drilling, then the ideal choice is a hook with a suction cup (vacuum) or Velcro (self-adhesive). Plus - quick installation, as they are easy to attach to any smooth surface, and also practical. 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 hold on to them), and also often require replacement due to moisture. A way out of this situation can be to connect the suction cup to the wall using silicone sealant.

It is worth considering that not every wall is suitable for this kind of holders, but exceptionally smooth, even and clean (without plaque and dirt).

What else can you hang in the bathroom?

  • Extra towel for guests.
  • Ladies' cosmetic bag.
  • Light clothing / dressing gown.
  • Loofah, brush, pumice stone.
  • Bath toys.
  • Radio, iron, curling iron, electric shaver or hair dryer.
  • Jewelry and accessories.
  • Storage pouches. Special containers.
  • Bathing mat.
  • And even toilet paper.

What should you pay attention to when choosing?

  1. The form. It must be smooth, without flaws and irregularities, and also without sharp edges, as this can be dangerous.
  2. Fastening. What you need is reliable and durable. It is important to pay attention to the accessories that come with the kit. They must be executed without marriage and lie in a previously unopened package.
  3. Material. It is advisable to choose one that does not suffer from moisture and is practical in color.
  4. Product processing. It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the coverage. If the product is coated with a protective compound, varnish, paint, chrome with an anti-corrosion effect, then the purchase can be safely carried out.
  5. Manufacturer. The choice can be stopped at something tested. It is also worth knowing that professionals recommend holders of German quality, for example, GROWELLE; AM. PM; HANSGROHE; HAYTA; GROHE.
  6. Shop. A good bonus from a trusted store is a guarantee, so it is advised to turn to something popular, for example, IKEA; Zara-Home, H & M-Home.
  7. Aesthetics... Even such a small detail can play a big role in the overall picture of the bathroom. It is important to consider the attractiveness and compatibility of the hook with other decorative details.
  8. Purpose. It is more correct to think in advance about what will hang on the hooks and at what distance, and then, starting from this, select 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 should be different from the flooring and wall covering to maintain aesthetics.
  3. It is better to choose bright holders for an interior in restrained colors, and in saturated colors - pastel and monochromatic.
  4. In a small room, it is better to use not very massive holders of light colors.

How best to position the 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 other near the door. Thanks to this arrangement, you don't have to leave the water or reach for towels, and you can also take everything you need immediately upon entering the bathroom.

The secondary hooks can be suctioned onto a mirror, door, or wall. In other cases, they are fixed near the sink, next to the washing machine, or not far from the bidet.

Can I make a towel holder myself?

Sure! 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, metal plate or something else. There is no need to be afraid to use various items in this process.

Leather loops, small wooden sticks, ropes, old keys, rubber toys, plastic figurines, or even doorknobs - all this is suitable in order to become hooks or part of them. Any option received 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 or avant-garde, such as bronze.

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