Best Answer

The standard hanging height for your towel rack seems to be 48 inches above the floor. This will leave leave enough space below the bars for towels to hang freely. If, however, you hang the towel bar in a children's bath, place the bar at a height of 36 inches.

There is no standard height for a towel ring or rack. Generally speaking, they should be approximately chest height for a shower towel ring. When speaking of towels, there are also hand towels. A towel ring for a hand towel should be about 15 to 20 inches above the counter if mounted over a cabinet by the sink. It's important to place towel racks and other bathroom organizers where space can best be used.

Towel Bar Height
  • Whatever height is most comfortable for you considering your height. If you are remodeling a home to sell, I would place it at around 4 feet. Just make sure that a large bath towel will not drag on the floor.
  • Standard adult towel bar height is indeed 48". For kids, 36" is considered standard. However, you should take into account placement of switches, plugs and HVAC vents. Of course, these heights can vary to taste, or if you want to "line up" with something else in the room. And, if you're renovating, don't forget to put blocking in the walls for a solid mount through the drywall or tile.
