How do you dry towels in the bathroom without anywhere to hang them?

[ComfortandHappiness]

Bad title maybe.

I have underfloor heating in the bathroom. Nice and cosy, but this means there are no radiators/ towel rails to dry towels on. I need a solution!

The walls are tiled and I’m slightly loathe to drill into them. I need to be able to dry 4 bath sheets daily. Help!

I have an over the door coat hanger on the back of my bathroom door, I hang things up on there to dry. I swap that with a metal sock driver somtimes too as the bathroom is very small so gets very warm

We have a radiator airer hung over the shower wall. Could you do that?

Bathrooms need hooks, rails and storage. It's not difficult to drill into tiles or even line up the holes with the grout lines. No point having a sleek beautiful bathroom if stuff is piled all over it.

However we've lived 7 years in this house and I'm still to take my own advice our bath towels are also on an over-door hook hanger plus a floor standing towel rail for the little ones.

Over the door towel rail or hooks.

Also Command adhesive hooks which are not pretty but very functional.

Totally feel your pain. Our whole house in underfloor heating and the doors and bannister are wood. We stuck hooks on the back of the doors and they’ve turned black where the wet towels were touching the wood. Wish I’d realised before the house was finished that I’d have no heated towel rails.

Hang them over the bedroom and bathroom doors? Landing banister? Over the shower curtain rail or shower screen? A small fold away airer? A ceiling rack?Just a few ideas, obviously some might not be relevant for your house.

@ComfortandHappiness Bath sheets are a pain.

FAR too impractical. They never dry properly and can get musty.

Far better to have two small bath towels, one for body and one for hair, and they dry really fast.

I sometimes use a horse's ''Stable Rubber'' made of Irish linen as well-as a hair drying wrap it dries like nothing else and is so soft with decades of use and laundering. Dries fast.

We just wash them after each use and tumble dry them. I hate damp towels hanging around.

We also dry ours over the bannister or in the back room where there's a dehumidifier

Buy a simple floor standing towel rail and put it in everyone rooms - the bathroom is not a good place to dry towels as it is already damp.

Get bath towels rather than sheets (use a dressing gown if more modesty is required) and towels stay in bedrooms to dry.

We've got one of these, £19 from IKEA. It's supposed to be a coat and hat stand, but is ideal as a free-standing towel rack.

We put a coat hook on back of bathroom door

Hand towels?! You must be absolutely tiny, I'd be miserable with something so small, I couldn't even wrap my hair with one let alone dry myself.

That over the door thing from Dunelm is genius.

Can't be arsed to read it all sorry if it's been suggested but we changed to hammam cotton towels and it's been absolutely brilliant. Quick drying (you and them) 😂

I hang off corner of doors

I'm definitely far from tiny!!!! The towels I'm talking about are not small - 100x50 cm according to the IKEA website, fine to dry off with after a shower and big enough to wrap my hair up in. You can't wrap yourself up in one, but I don't need to, I just dry quickly and pop my dressing gown on.

I have a couple of these 'hand towels'. I think they are too large for hand towels and though I wouldn't choose one to dry off with after a shower, if that happens to be the one I grab it's not the end of the world - plenty big enough to get dried with. Functional rather than snuggly, which I guess is what's needed when you're struggling to dry towels.

I just drape mine over the end of a bed or over a bannister. Realistically you won’t be able to hang them all in the bathroom

Free standing towel rack.

A towel ladder

Is probs just take a dry towel in with me and then take it back out and dry elsewhere - I use a rack and dehumidifier.

I was going to suggest something similar. I 'dry' myself off in the shower with a microfibre body cloth. That shifts most of the moisture and my bath towel is hardly damp.

This is true. I have a huge microfiber beach towel I bought on holiday - mainly because I was only taking hand luggage and needed something thin that would roll up small. I now use it as my main towel as it dries so easily compared to my big thick cotton ones. It doesn't feel quite as absorbent but it's good enough.
