Where the towel ring fits

Towel rings are great for compact spaces, especially for hand towels hung over vanities.Towel rings customarily are installed close to the sink, with experts recommending just a few inches from the sink to keep life simple and accessible. Traditionally, people hang their guest towels on rings by the sink.

Recommended Towel Ring Heights

So, according to accepted industry practices, the perfect height to hang a towel ring is 50 to 52 inches. Over a vanity, the bottom of the towel ring should sit 16 to 18 inches off the top of the countertop, so the towels suspend freely above it.
