Towel Bars
Towel bars add a splash of color to your walls and perform a valuable function. They present neatly folded hand and bath towels for your guests to use, or, if you’re like me, they help you get out of the habit of dropping your wet towel on the floor or throwing it over the shower curtain. Either way, towel bars make for a neater, nicer looking bathroom.
If you want your bath room as neat and nice as possible then you’ll need to keep three things in mind when you shop for a new towel bar: size, rosette style, and finish.
- Size:Towel Bars typically come in three available sizes: 18″, 24″ or 30″. This is the center-to-center measurement(CTC), or the distance between the center of one mounting plate to the center of the other. If you’re replacing an old towel bar, you’ll want to measure the distance between the holes in your wall and have that ready when you shop for you new towel bar. If you’re installing a towel bar for the first time then get whatever lenght will best suit your needs. Longer bars will accomodate larger towels. An 18″ towel bar will work great for holding hand towels in a powder room. For full baths a 24″ or 30″ will work better.
- Rosette Style: The rosettes on a towel bar are the decorative plates that cover the mounting hardware. Emtek towel bars come with a selection of rosette styles you can choose from. Most other manufacturers only offer one style of rosette for each towel bar. Most towel bars look the same except for their respective rosettes, so you’ll want to pick one you think is unique and appealing.
- Finish: Pick a finish that matches your bathroom. If the rest of your bathroom hardware is polished chrome then your towel bar should be polished chrome too. Brighter finishes, like chrome and polished nickel will look modern and contemporary. Darker finishes, like venetian bronze or satin brass, will look more traditional.
There’s no need to drive yourself crazy trying to pick the right towel bar. They aren’t complicated or expensive. Just make sure there’s enough room for the towels you want to hang on it, the rosette style is something you like, and the finish won’t clash with the rest of your hardware and fixtures.

Baldwin Bronze Bath Accessories - Improve Your Tub Appeal!
Baldwin Bronze Stonebridge Towel Ring
Bronze bath accessories are really gaining ground among homeowners who want to make their bathrooms unique and timeless.
Unique - Most bathrooms look alike because most people choose bath hardware that is “modern and minimal”. “Modern and minimal” is a great way of saying something is so boring nobody will notice it (minimal) and who cares because everybody under the sun is buying it right now (modern). Bronze bath fixtures will stand out from the legions of polished nickel, chrome and brass towel bars and towel rings. People will actually notice how you’ve chosen to decorate your bathroom will have to make a judgement one way or the other about your choice of style. That choice is what many people are afraid of and so they avoid it by buying things that are indistinguishable and forgettable. Dont’ be timid. Get noticed! Read the rest of this entry »
