If your bathroom towels are always ending up on the floor or crammed in a corner, it might be time for a simple fix — one that looks good and keeps things organized. A wall-mounted towel organizer is the perfect weekend project. You don’t need fancy tools or a big budget to pull it off, just a few basic materials and a bit of creativity. Here’s how you can make your own.
What You’ll Need
- A wooden board (about 2–3 feet long)
- Sandpaper
- Paint or stain (optional)
- 3–4 hooks (depending on board length)
- Screws and wall anchors
- Drill or screwdriver
- Level and measuring tape
Step 1: Prep the Wood
Start by sanding your board to smooth out any rough edges. If you want a rustic look, you can leave some texture; if you prefer something sleek, sand it down well. Once it’s smooth, wipe it clean.
Step 2: Paint or Stain
Give your board some personality. Paint it a color that matches your bathroom, or stain it for a natural wood finish. Let it dry completely before moving on.
Step 3: Add the Hooks
Measure and mark equal spots along the board for your hooks — about 6–8 inches apart usually works well. Drill small pilot holes, then screw the hooks in place. This will keep your spacing even and prevent the wood from splitting.
Step 4: Mount It on the Wall
Hold the board against the wall where you want it, and use a level to ensure it’s straight. Then, mark the screw holes. Drill holes into the wall and add anchors if needed. Finally, screw your board securely into place.
Step 5: Hang and Enjoy
That’s it! Hang your towels and step back to admire your work. You’ve just built a simple, stylish way to keep your bathroom organized — and it didn’t cost much at all.
A wall-mounted towel organizer isn’t just about storage — it adds warmth and character to your space. The best part? You made it yourself. Whether you opt for a clean, modern look or something a little rustic, this easy DIY project proves that a few simple materials can make a big difference.
