Redecorating the boys’ bathroom is in the final stages! It has been a fun process and I wanted something different other than store bought, conventional hardware. Choosing creative towel bars and hooks helps bring personality to a room and allows for self expression. The boys’ bathroom is a beachy nautical theme and what’s more nautical than boat cleats and rope?!
In an ideal world my sons would fold their towel and hang it on the ropes. What’s nice is that the boat cleats can also be used as hooks for towels, which my boys could use, if I’m lucky. But who am I kidding? Most of the time the towels will probably just lay on the floor.
Let’s take a look at other creative towel bars and hooks
My friend Brittany, from Pretty Handy Girl, made this Branch Towel Bar for her bathroom. She is so resourceful and creative!
Here are more uses of branches but being used a branch hooks.

A collection of vintage door knobs lined in a row is would make a fun and eclectic towel hook bar.
River rock towel hooks say “SPA”!

Another natural and beachy DIY idea is to use a piece of drift wood and attach a few hooks.
Each of these towel rods and hooks will give any bathroom a unique and personal touch.
Think out of the box, get creative, and you’ll find how much more you will enjoy your spaces!

That has got to be the neatest thing I’ve ever seen! Fantastic! I grew up in Virginia Beach (Pungo) and when I see decor ideas like this, it really makes me miss living near the coast. I don’t feel like I can get away with something like that living in the midwest. 🙁 Wonderful idea!

I love all the beachy solutions! Cleats, driftwood… and (beach) stones. So fun! Have you seen the cleat/rope toilet paper solution here. You might get a kick out of it!

I love all of these creative options! Haha, if your boys are like mine, I think the boat cleats will get used more the ropes though!

Hello,
Could you tell me the cost of your river peeble hooks and if they come mounted on white wood, or chrome rather than the brown timber. Thanks Tracey 🙂
