Q. How big should the bathroom rack be?

Bathroom racks typically come in lengths of 18" 24" and 30". There are a variety of locations and uses for each towel bar. Towel racks of 18 inches in length will accommodate both hand towels and folded bath towels making them ideal for use in powder rooms and smaller bathrooms. Towel racks of 24 inches in width are adaptable to bathrooms of all sizes. Towel bars between 18 and 24 inches in length are the most space-efficient options for a standard 40-square-foot bathroom. When compared to other common towel bar sizes this fall somewhere in the center. It's recommended that only very spacious bathrooms employ towel bars 30 inches or greater in length. This is done for the sake of usability and aesthetics.
