Bathroom Beauties
Sunday, March 1st, 2009I wrote about coat hooks last time, and to be honest, I got kind of hooked on hooks. So forgive me if I’m starting to get a bit repetitive, but I’m going to keep focusing on that theme, and write a bit about towel hooks.
First of all, I have to say, one of my favorite rooms in the house to decorate is the bathroom. It’s my throne, my personal space, my little piece of peace and quiet in the middle of a hectic day. So of course, I want it took look great. There are many things you can do to add some personality to your bathroom, including unique color schemes, shower doors and curtains, lighting, etc. Towel hooks are just one option among a large range, but they too can make huge difference.
Just like I suggested using coat hooks last time to add some decoration in an unconventional spot, I think one great idea is to place towel and robe hooks where you wouldn’t necessarily expect them. Try veering away from the back of the door, and go to the wall. Try placing the asymmetrically rather than in a straight line. Be careful not to over-clutter with too many. Two or three should do the trick, and you can even purchase the types that come in couplets. You might also want to install a smaller hand towel hook next to the sink, which can match your larger bathroom towel hooks.
Installing towel hooks is not the easiest thing in the world. You often have to deal with hard tile walls, as well as having to worry about the moisture in the bathroom. You can look up instructions online, or you may just want to speak to a professional about it. The worst thing is to drill through tile by mistake: it’s not fun to replace tile, trust me.
I think I will continue to write about bathrooms for the next few posts, so be on the lookout for those. Bye for now!
