9 Uniquely Funky Bathroom Towel Holders

January 15, 2015 by Larissa Coleman Leave a Comment

Are you tired of the same old boring towel racks in your bathroom? Do you want to add some personality and style to your space while also keeping it organized and functional? Look no further, as we have compiled a list of 9 unique and creative DIY towel rack ideas that will transform your bathroom into a beautiful and practical oasis.

The bathroom is a space that is often overlooked when it comes to decorating, but it’s a place where you start and end your day. Therefore, it’s important to create a space that is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. Adding a unique towel rack is an easy and affordable way to achieve this.

From repurposed ladders to rustic wine racks, these DIY towel racks are easy to make and can be customized to fit your personal style. You can also choose to use materials that you already have at home or source them from your local hardware or thrift store.

One of our favorite ideas is the ladder towel rack. You can easily repurpose an old wooden ladder and turn it into a functional and stylish towel rack. Simply sand it down, paint it or leave it as is, and add hooks or knobs to hang your towels. This idea adds a rustic touch to your bathroom and is perfect for those who love farmhouse or cottage-style decor.

If you prefer a more modern look, a copper pipe towel rack may be the way to go. Copper pipes are readily available at any hardware store and can be easily cut to the desired length. Simply attach the pipes to the wall with brackets and add hooks or knobs to hang your towels. The shiny finish of the copper adds a touch of elegance to your bathroom while still maintaining a minimalist aesthetic.

Another great DIY towel rack idea is to use a wine rack. A wine rack can easily be transformed into a towel holder by simply flipping it upside down and attaching it to the wall. This is a unique and unexpected way to display your towels and adds a touch of whimsy to your bathroom decor.

These DIY towel rack ideas are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to creative ways to display your bathroom towels. With a little creativity and some basic DIY skills, you can transform your bathroom into a beautiful and functional space that you will love to spend time in.

DIY Summer Nail Designs You’ll Want to Rock All Season Long

As soon as the weather heats up and the days get longer, I swap out my moody nail colors for something a little more fun, flirty, and full of sunshine. Summer is the perfect excuse to get playful with your nail designs — and this year, I’ve been experimenting at home to find a few favorites that are both easy to paint and seriously cute.

I’ve rounded up three of my go-to summer nail looks that you can totally do yourself, even if you’re not a pro. These are the styles I keep coming back to because they’re fun, eye-catching, and honestly — they just make you feel good. Whether you’re heading to the beach, a backyard BBQ, or just want to admire your nails while holding an iced latte, these are the ones to try.

Let’s dive in!

Sunset Ombre Nails

This is hands down one of the most satisfying nail designs you can do yourself. The colors melt into each other like a beach sunset, and the end result looks way more advanced than it really is.

You’ll Need:

  • A base coat

  • Three polishes (I use pink, orange, and yellow)

  • A makeup sponge

  • Top coat

  • Nail polish remover for cleanup

How to Do It:

  1. Start with a clear base coat to protect your nails.

  2. Paint horizontal stripes of your 3 colors directly onto the makeup sponge.

  3. Dab the sponge gently onto your nail, reapplying polish to the sponge as needed. Tap until the gradient blends.

  4. Clean up any excess polish around your cuticle.

  5. Apply a top coat to smooth the colors and add shine.

This design is one of those that looks good even when it’s a little messy — the top coat really pulls it all together.

 

 Tropical Palm Silhouettes

If you want vacation vibes without actually going anywhere, this one’s for you. The pastel base paired with simple black palm trees gives it that dreamy island feel.

You’ll Need:

  • A light pastel base polish or soft gradient background

  • Black nail art pen or thin brush with black polish

  • Top coat

How to Do It:

  1. Paint your nails with a soft pastel or ombre base.

  2. Once dry, draw a thin curved line for the palm trunk.

  3. From the top of the trunk, add small lines that fan out to mimic palm fronds.

  4. Let everything dry completely before adding a glossy top coat.

Even if your palm trees aren’t perfect, they still look awesome. Think of it like nail doodling — just more tropical.

 

 Watermelon French Tips

This design is so cheerful, I smile every time I see it. It’s a fruity twist on a French manicure and it’s perfect for pool parties or picnics.

You’ll Need:

  • Pink polish for the base

  • Green and white for the rind

  • Black polish for the seeds (use a dotting tool or toothpick)

  • Base and top coat

How to Do It:

  1. Paint your entire nail a soft pink.

  2. Add a green curved tip at the top edge (like a French tip).

  3. Under the green, paint a very thin white stripe.

  4. Add small black dots on the pink section to create seeds.

  5. Seal it all in with your favorite top coat.

This one is such a crowd-pleaser and looks adorable on both long and short nails.

Whether you try one of these or rotate through all three this summer, I hope these nail designs add a little color and creativity to your routine. They’re simple enough to do at home but still look like you spent time (and money!) at the salon.

Let me know which one you’re trying first — and don’t forget to tag us if you share your summer nail look!
