Stop! Before you hang those coat hooks for easy towel hanging, before you even buy the hooks, I must confess I forgot the basic planning step. It's no use having wonderful towel catchers in the wrong places!
Whoever finished the interior of the bathroom may have seen a nice flat wall somewhere, and happily hung a bunch of towel racks on it. Are there towels on the floor? Then don't put your new towel hooks where the towel racks were.
As I've written before, the cardinal rule is: put things where you use them. Most wet people will find a towel, somewhere. But the usual procedure is:
1. Get wet
2. Dry off
3. Let go of towel.
The hook must be right where the hand lets go. If kids are involved, see step 3a.
3a. Or, put a hamper right where hand releases towel. There are soft, mesh hampers now, for crowded spots, easy on the toes, easy on wrestling kids. These softies have open tops, a necessary feature.
Say goodbye to the cute hamper with a lid. People who just showered are often in a rush.
Caution: I don't urge dropping wet towels right into the clothes chute, if you're lucky enough to have one. Green things are in the air, at the bottom of the even the cleanest clothes chute, waiting for something to nest on.
