Towel Bar Peak
The usual advice for towel bar peak is 48″ from the ground to the middle of the bar – I have a tendency to hold mine between 44-48″ excessive. When figuring out the perfect towel bar peak in your house, consider how your toilet is laid out (generally the location of retailers and light-weight switches can have an effect on issues) and who’s going to make use of it (for instance, you may want a decrease towel bar peak in a children toilet).
The towel bar above in our powder room isn’t the prettiest of choices (it was right here once we purchased the home) however I purchased {this towel bar} for our visitor toilet and actually like it – traditional but up to date! These are a couple of different favourite towel bars – most are available in a number of end choices (Scroll & Click on/Faucet Photographs to Store Them):
Towel bars usually are available in three lengths – 18″, 24″, and 30″. An 18″ towel bar is nice for small areas and matches a single commonplace bathtub towel folded in half whereas a 24″ towel bar matches a single outsized bathtub towel folded in half. When you have the house, a 30″ towel bar is nice for holding two commonplace bathtub towels folded in thirds. In fact an alternative choice for holding two towels is to get a 24″ double towel bar.
Towel Ring Peak
And what about towel ring peak? Hold them on the identical peak (measure from the underside of the ring) as towel bars in the event that they’re over the ground. If it’s over the vainness like in my visitor toilet, hold the towel ring 20-22″ above the vainness (once more, measuring from the underside of the ring):

Gown Hook Peak
Together with getting used for robes, gown hooks are an ideal various to towel bars too! The really useful gown hook peak in your toilet is between 55-70″ above the ground. Mine are positioned at 67″ excessive and about 10″ aside:
I used {these robe hooks} which are available in 4 completely different end choices. Mine are the Golden Champagne end:
Bathroom Paper Holder Peak
The really useful peak in your bathroom paper holder is 26″ from the ground to the middle of the TP roll. It’s additionally really useful that the middle of your bathroom paper roll be positioned 8-12″ in entrance of the entrance rim of your bathroom. To seek out the perfect measurement inside that 8-12″ to position it, sit on the bathroom together with your eyes closed and attain to the place you’d anticipate to naturally discover your TP roll (if a number of folks use the lavatory, have all of them do that after which mount it on the common distance). And sure, you’ll really feel silly whereas doing this – ha!

Bathe Area of interest Peak
Whereas there is no such thing as a commonplace bathe area of interest peak, about 48-60″ is an effective goal vary. The inside width of my bathe area of interest is 12 ¾″ and width of the bigger footrest area of interest (the place I put my foot for shaving) is 7″. I added the heights that I selected for mine to a pic of our bathe so you’ll be able to see precisely what I went with:
Bathe sources: Driftwood teak shower bench | Shower head (satin nickel) | Shower valve trim (satin nickel) | Hand shower (satin nickel) | Marble wall tile | Hexagon floor tile | Grout: Mapei Frost | Square shower drain (satin nickel)
A great tile particular person will consider the place the tile surrounding the area of interest begins and ends when figuring out the precise bathe area of interest peak and dimension. For instance, you’ll be able to see how my massive area of interest up high is completely sandwiched between the encompassing bathe tile with solely full tile items each above and under it. When deciding for the scale of my backside footrest area of interest, I didn’t need it to be as tall as two full tiles so our tile man lined it up completely on the underside after which made it precisely 1 ½ tile items excessive.
If you happen to’re going to divide your bathe area of interest in half so that you’ve two cabinets like mine, that additionally seems finest when the shelf is aligned with the encompassing tile (the highest of my shelf is aligned with the highest of the encompassing wall tile). Precisely the way you divide the 2 cabinets is completely private choice however I divided mine roughly in thirds with ⅓ of the house under (for cleaning soap and a sponge) and ⅔ of the house above (for shampoo & conditioner pumps):

Sconce Peak
There’s actually nobody “proper” peak to hold wall sconces because it relies upon a lot upon the place they’re getting used. Once they’re flanking a mirror within the toilet mirror you usually need to hold them at eye stage the place they illuminate your face – however ensure to not hold them so excessive that the bulbs are seen if you’re standing subsequent to them. In our toilet, this meant that the space from the ground to the middle of the again plate of our sconces is about 62″.

The usual advice for the way far aside to mount sconces flanking a toilet mirror is 36″ – 40″ however lots relies upon upon the width of your mirror (and the place of the wall studs might also play a job). Our toilet mirror is pretty slender so our sconces are hung 33″ aside (measured from the middle of 1 sconce to the middle of the opposite). Belief your eye on this one!
Vainness Mild Peak
