Buying Guide
Mia is a freelance bathroom designer and writer with over a decade of professional experience. From space planning, cabinetry, storage solutions, and tile design to hardware and fixture selections, she knows a thing about creating baths that strike a perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics.
A towel ring stand should be used in any bathroom that doesn’t already have a wall-mounted towel ring. Towel rings are a classy, convenient way for you to hang towels up to dry between uses while providing easy access when you need to dry off.
Without somewhere to hang hand towels to dry, they often sit on the bathroom countertop looking messy and potentially staining the counter’s surface because of the constant exposure to moisture. Creating a dedicated area for storing damp towels helps keep your bathroom tidy and your vanity in top condition.
Larger freestanding towel rings are ideal for letting bath towels air dry after your shower without hanging them against a door or wall. This prevents dark towels from staining the walls because of prolonged contact with moisture.
The standard directions for how far off the floor a towel ring stand should sit is 42” to 48”. Depending on how tall your towel ring stand is, you can judge for yourself whether the stand should sit on the counter or the floor.
If you have a short towel ring stand, you can place it on the counter. If your towel ring has a stand that stretches over 12”, you should place it on the floor.
Ideally, your towel ring stand should be a few inches from your sink so you can wash your hands and only have a minimal reach to dry them with a towel. The position that gives you and your guests easier access to a hand towel is where you should place your towel ring stand.
