These days towel bars come in all sorts of different lengths and sizes and are readily available at your local hardware or DIY store.  They can be as utilitarian or as decorative as you want.  In fact, one of the benefits for using towel bars is that you can fit your decor with a little shopping!

1.Towel Bar For Lids Storage

Kitchen organization gives your kitchen space and room to have everything you need fit in it. Your cabinets don’t have to be excessively packed. You need to install a towel bar near your pots and pans to store lids without having them get lost in the shuffle. This bar can be installed next to a drawer or cabinet. Don’t they just look easy to retrieve and safe from breakage?

 

2. Pot and Pan Holder From Towel Bars

An easy way to save kitchen space and to decorate it at the same time is to hang your pots and pans from a towel bar. This gets you a lot of storage room and beautifies your kitchen with lovely pottery wear. You can have one or two bars depending on the number of pots and pans that you have.

Yoga can’t get any more interesting than this. Especially when you can have a storage corner for your yoga mats. Use a towel rack to store your mats. What a great space saver for your small home gym! To add more fun to this installation activity you can spray paint the bars to add aesthetics to them. This is motivation enough to wake up and have your morning exercise routine.

 

8. Toiletries Storage Hack From Towel Bars

Even if towel bars are known mostly for the toilet, they could be used in a unique way. All your body products and hair products don’t have to lie on the floor or in closed cabinets. You could have them in one place at the same time and use them after using the washroom. Create a storage area above the toilet with hanging wire baskets on towel bars to corral all your toiletries. Now you have more space to move around and utilize.

 

9. Gift-Wrapping Material Holder

Wrappers can easily get messy once they unravel and thus be a pain in the neck.

This keeps them intact and saves on space. More to the wrappers you can have baskets for your scissors, pens, notepads, and ribbons that come in hand while wrapping a gift.

Nothing makes work in the kitchen easier than chopping boards. They are that one thing that your kitchen shouldn’t miss. How easy you retrieve them when about to chop your onions makes the whole difference. You don’t have to place them inside a drawer that has your every other cutlery and utensil.  Creatively hang your chopping boards on a towel bar installed on the end of your island or kitchen counter.

 

 

11. Laundry-Room Drying Bar as a Towel Bar Hack

There are clothes such as cotton shirts that can’t be dried in a drier coz of their tendency to shrink. Thus they need to be air-dried separately and this warrants a drying area for them. Unlike the traditional drying rack, a towel bar creates more space for lots of shirts. So put up a towel bar in the laundry room (under a shelf) to hang items that can’t be dried in a drier. In addition to this task, the bars can be used to hang already ironed clothes when ironing after a laundry day.
