Proper Placement of Bathroom Accessories and Towels

According to SAEDNEWS, Bathroom and toilet accessories are usually among the last items installed during home renovation or construction. Bathrooms are spaces where damage occurs frequently, so tiles and other fixtures can be significantly affected. By following the guidelines in this section, you can achieve the best and most standard bathroom and toilet arrangement.

Towel racks and hand towels
As a general rule, towel racks and hand towels should be installed close to the washbasin. These racks are better as long bars and should be placed on the largest wall. Standard towel racks should be installed about 100 to 110 cm above the floor. In hotels, they are usually installed at around 110 cm above the floor. If you use multiple racks, there should be at least 22 cm of space between them. One important point to always consider, regardless of the size or shape of the bathroom, is that the towel rack should be installed about 50 cm above the washbasin so that the towel is in a proper position.

Mirrors

Mirrors can be installed at different heights depending on their type, but it is generally better to place them at a height of 95 to 100 cm from the floor. Mirrors are usually installed above the washbasin, and their exact position may vary depending on the layout and size of the mirror. In bathrooms, it is better to use a relatively taller mirror.

Soap holders

Soap holders should be installed at a height of 110 to 135 cm in the bathroom and away from the shower. Liquid soap dispensers should be installed at a height of 100 to 120 cm from the floor.

Toilet paper

Toilet paper should be installed at a height of 50 to 65 cm from the floor and at a distance of 20 to 30 cm from the toilet.

Wall shelves

Wall shelves in the bathroom are best installed at a height of about 135 cm from the floor, with at least 45 cm of free space above them. However, these measurements may vary depending on the size of the shelf.
