What are the best towel racks for small bathrooms?

The best towel racks for small bathrooms are compact towel bars and space‑saving hooks. A 12-inch towel bar is ideal for a single bath towel, and 8 or 9-inch bars fit well beside a sink for hand towels.

If you have very limited wall space, a 6-inch double towel bar adds more drying room in a small footprint. Swivel towel hooks are another good option because they take up minimal wall space and can hold multiple towels or robes on separate arms.
