The standard recommendation for towel bar height is 48″ from the floor to the center of the bar – I tend to hang mine in middle 44-48″ high. When determining the best towel bar height for your space. take into consideration how your bathroom is lay out (sometimes the placement of outlets and light switches can affect things) and who is going to use it (for example. you might want a lower towel bar height in a kids bathroom).
The towel bar above in our powder room isn’t the prettiest of options (it was here when we bought the house). but I bought {this towel bar} for our guest bathroom and loved it – classic yet updated! These are a few other favorite towel bars – most come in several finish options:
Towel bars typically come in three lengths – 18″. 24″. and 30″. An 18″ towel bar is great for small spaces and fits a single standard bath towel folded in half. while a 24″ towel bar fits a single oversized bath towel folded in half. If you have the space. a 30″ towel bar is great for holding two standard bath towels folded in thirds. Of course. another option for holding two towels is to get a 24″ double towel bar.

Towel Ring Height
And what about towel ring height? Hang them at the same height (measure from the bottom of the ring) as towel bars if they’re over the floor. If it’s over the vanity like in my guest bathroom. hang the towel ring 20-22″ above the vanity (again. measuring from the bottom of the ring).

The recommended height for your toilet paper holder is 26″ from the floor to the center of the TP roll. It’s also recommended that the center of your toilet paper roll be place 8-12″ in front of the front rim of your toilet. To find the best measurement within that 8-12″ to place it, sit on the toilet with your eyes closed and reach to where you’d expect to naturally find your TP roll (if multiple people use the bathroom, have them all do this and then mount it at the average distance). And yes, you will feel stupid while doing this – ha!
