Looking to spruce up your bathroom, but don't have a big budget? These DIY towel rack ideas are just what you need to transform it from blah to beautiful!
Towel bars and racks can be expensive, and seem even more so after completing an entire bathroom remodel! Why does a simple metal bar cost as much as a faucet or shower head???
I'm searching for bathroom towel rack ideas that won't break the bank, and that usually means it's time to DIY. Whatever your style, you're sure to be inspired by one of these clever towel rack ideas!
DIY Towel Rack Ideas
Something like this would be the perfect complement to our barn door. I just love the combination of rustic wood and metal hooks!
The beaches around Seattle are full of amazing pieces of driftwood. I might be taking one home to make this driftwood towel rack!

I absolutely LOVE these hooks! This towel rack is another contender for our basement bathroom update.
Found an amazing headboard, but don't have a bed to attach it to? Create this headboard towel rack instead!
If your ladder has seen better days, give it new life as a towel rack instead! You can also make something similar with my DIY blanket ladder tutorial.
I've seen these giant wooden spools at antique markets, but never knew what to do with them. Now I do!
Plumbing fixtures don't always need to be hidden away in the wall! This simple towel rack uses pipes and scrap wood to give your bathroom that industrial farmhouse look.
Copper is the hot metal right now, but I think it's a trend that's here to stay. Pair it with raw wood for a simple, Scandinavian style towel rack with shelf!
Combine copper with chrome for a mixed metal towel rack and storage basket!
Raid the plumbing aisle for the supplies for this industrial towel rack!
If you're a renter, you don't have many options when it comes to updating your towel rack. Anika had the genius idea to build a shelf that fits perfectly over the bar, to give her kids extra storage space and each their own hook!
Who couldn't use a little extra storage in the bathroom? This little shelf and hook combo is perfect for pretty toiletries or plants.
There's something about rolled up towels that gives your bathroom a spa-like feel. These little shelves are perfect for keeping extras on hand.
This little bathroom organizer packs a lot of storage into a tiny space! There's even a YouTube video to walk you through the build process.
This simple DIY towel rack can be made with leather belts you find at the thrift store. Just grab a few dowels from the hardware store and you've got a compact towel storage solution!
Lucite can make a bathroom feel ultra-glamorous. Add some gold hardware for the ultimate bling!
No animals were harmed in the creation of this rustic/glam towel rack!
This towel ring couldn't be simpler! Just add a loop of leather to a wooden ring and attach it to the wall.
This DIY towel rack reminds me of the slatted walls of a beachside spa!
Need towels out by the pool? Keep them dry and off the ground with this outdoor towel rack!
I hope these DIY towel rack ideas inspired you to update your own bathroom fixture. Which one is your favorite?
