Installing a towel bar at the right height makes your bathroom more functional and keeps towels off the floor. The standard height is 42 to 48 inches from the floor to the bar.<\/strong> In compact spaces like RVs, 42 inches works better, while hotels often use 48 inches for extra clearance.<\/p>\n
