Storage ideas for bathroom

10 replies

So I’ve just had some work done on the bathroom.
Have replaced the towel heater for a proper fancy tall radiator. I don’t want 4 huge bath sheets hanging all over it so I didn’t get the bands that go around it. Where can I put the damp towels after everyone has showered. We don’t have an airing cupboard so fresh towels are on top of the cabinet and in a little wicker basket.
Everyone keeping them in bedrooms doesn’t appeal to me at all.

Row of hooks, either along the wall or on the back of the bathroom door.
Over the corner of everyone's bedroom door.

So the walls are tiled so I don’t want to start making holes for hooks. The ones in the door are full of robes.

Wouldn't it make sense to have the towels in the bathroom and the robes in people's bedrooms?

Why have you started another thread on this topic?

From reading the other thread, there seems to be no sensible solution to your problem that you accept, so I would suggest;

  • chuck away all the bath towels, buy a load of face flannels and make everyone use them to dry themselves, although you’d still have to dry them somewhere,
  • get rid of all towels and make everyone stay naked until they’ve air dried, they can stand in front of the new radiator to speed up the process,
  • stop using the shower altogether and use wet wipes instead

@MagpiePi I know sorry. This one had zero responses. I did actually say I’d just give everyone a flannel to use. It wasn’t a popular option.

I’ve ordered a towel ladder which I’ll put next to the radiator. Hopefully that’ll be warm enough.

@MagpiePi Lol at your other suggestions. We did actually have 24 hours with no washing facilities where a flannel came in very handy and wet wipes were very popular.

Ah, sorry, I didn’t realise this was the first thread and the other was the second.

ETA: I’m in a very flippant mood this morning and hoped you would take my suggestions in the lighthearted manner they were intended and not think
i was being snarky.

I was going to add, ‘get rid of your family who are spoiling your lovely new bathroom with their irritating need to wash’, but you know how some people are on here!

@MagpiePi the thought has crossed my mind. DSS and DH have used the new shower this morning and I am internally raging about it. In fact I’m the only person who hasn’t used it which I’m glad about cos I can make it shiny when I have finished in there

In my RV where I can’t drill holes; I have a variety of suction cup hooks and sticky tape towel racks that surprisingly hold very well.
