1. Gather Your Supplies
Head over to your local bathroom supply store and pick up 2 towel bars and a 12-inch wide plank of wood.
These are the main components for your wall towel storage rack.
2. Measure and Mark the Wood
Using your measuring tape, mark the plank of wood at the 4-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch marks. These measurements will ensure your towel organizer is perfectly spaced.
3. Attach the Towel Bars
With your drill, attach the two towel bars parallel to each other on the marked points of the wood.
Make sure they are securely fastened.
4. Mount the Organizer to the Wall
Attach the completed bathroom towel organizer to the wall. Use a level to ensure it is straight, and if necessary, use wall anchors to secure it firmly.
5. Store Your Towels
Roll up your towels and slip them between the towel bars. This not only looks neat but also makes it easy to grab a towel when you need one.

Very clever, "out-of-the-box" idea for towel storage! I'd utilize this way of storing towels if the bars were already in-place. It does seem like a lot of work, affixing 2 towel rods onto 2 pieces of wood, for towel storage. With the wood used for this project, you could have made shelves or cute wall cubby storage areas for the towels?

Good idea for small spaces, then toss the towel in the hamper. I found a small heated/drying towel rack for my small back bath. It works out perfectly because it holds bath and hand towels.

This does look nice, but any other ideas that might be good that don't require drilling holes in to my wall?
