Towel holders – order and hygiene in the bathroom and kitchen
Wherever you use water in your home, you'll need a towel to dry off afterwards. To keep towels within easy reach and let them dry out properly after use, practical towel holders in the bathroom are the answer. That way, everyone in the family can use their towel several times – which is even better for the environment. In a guest toilet, where space is tighter, you can hang the guest towel on a towel hook. A towel holder is just as important in the kitchen as in the bathroom, since you wash and dry not only your hands but also your design tableware at the sink. As well as stylish towel holders, you'll find lots of creative bathroom ideas at Connox – take a look around our online shop!

1. In good hands: hand towels, bath towels and guest towels
Towel rail or hooks? If you're buying a towel holder, first think about how much space you have in your bathroom or kitchen. A wall-mounted towel holder next to the washbasin is slim and space-saving, which is why it's standard in many bathrooms. The minimalist white towel holder from Radius Design holds small hand towels and pairs perfectly with the Puro towel hooks from the collection of the same name. As well as hand towels, you also need somewhere for large bath and shower towels, which are best kept next to the bath or shower. Consider whether individual hooks or a space-saving holder for several towels would work better there. The portable Towel Ladder holds plenty of bathroom textiles and clothes, and this minimalist towel ladder from the Danish brand Menu also makes a perfect bathroom decoration.
2. Versatile towel holders – different mounting options
Before buying, a common question is: how are towel holders fixed? If you choose a wall-mounted towel holder, you have several mounting options. Some models need to be drilled, but more and more towel holders can be fitted without drilling. In rented houses or flats in particular, suction hooks or adhesive hooks are the ideal way to avoid trouble with your landlord. The Curve wall hook comes in a set of two from the Danish family business LindDNA. Strong double-sided tape makes it easy to attach these water-repellent hooks to your wall. But how high should you mount a towel holder? There are no regulations for private homes, only a recommendation to mount the holder next to the washbasin at a height of 800 millimetres. Like all bathroom accessories, towel holders should be easy for everyone in the household to reach.
3. Large and small holders for hanging your towels
Whether hooks, rails, ladders or knobs, towel holders in the bathroom make it easier to store towels, flannels or bathrobes. You can also use some of them throughout your home to hang up clothes, tea towels or oven gloves. Not every holder suits every towel equally well. Wide towel rails are for draping towels over, which works well for large shower towels. With certain hooks, too – depending on the distance from the wall – towels are draped over rather than hung. Most towel hooks, however, need loops on your towels and flannels that match their size. So before you buy, be sure to check the diameter of the hook or the width of the towel rail and consider whether the dimensions suit the rest of your bathroom. Besides size, the shape of the towel hook also matters. The Sucker suction hook from the Dutch company Droog is a well-rounded solution: simply press the knob into the rubber holder. The resulting vacuum holds this award-winning towel holder on almost any smooth surface – no drilling needed.
4. Stylish and decorative for a pleasant atmosphere
Where once there was only the simple towel rail, today you can choose towel holders in a wide variety of designs. Simple, elegant or unusual, matching your interior, as part of a collection or as a charming one-off – at Connox, you'll find carefully selected designs from renowned designers. With the simple Hook2 A-Z wall hooks from Design Letters, the company name says it all. Each hook features a letter, which is extremely practical when several people share a home. Our versatile towel hooks look good in the bathroom and kitchen, and in the hallway or bedroom they double as decorative coat hooks. There are no limits when it comes to colour either. White or black, plain or brightly lacquered, shiny stainless steel or matt wood – modern towel holders add accents to your bathroom and create a feel-good atmosphere!
5. Towel holders and towel hooks in high-quality materials
With so many materials available, there are towel hooks and holders to suit every bathroom. Easy-care plastic rails in coloured or clear finishes are ideal for humid environments. Powder-coated metal also works well in bathrooms, creating a cool, fresh look. The classic bathroom accessory, the stainless steel towel holder, usually goes well with your other fittings and is easy to clean of water splashes. For warm accents, choose a wooden towel holder. The you will need me grip holder from side by side can hold more than just towels: this elegant piece made of oiled oak and aluminium also works as a toilet roll holder, or in other rooms for hanging up all sorts of things such as clothes or keys. Some Scandinavian designers even add leather to the combination of wood and metal. The range from the Bavarian furniture company Schönbuch includes wall hooks made of coated steel, glass or oak combined with stainless steel or shiny chrome, as well as brushed stainless steel.
