Customizing Towel Racks
to Blend Decor with Comfort
|
If your
bathroom accessories match each other, customizing towel
racks offers you a perfect way to blend your decor needs
with your comfort requirements. Shortening or lengthening a
towel rack is easy due to a little quirk in the design of
towel racks. Though them seem solidly built once installed,
towel rack arms come separate from the towel rack rod.
This enables manufacturers to use the same parts to
construct various products, from toilet role hangers to face
towel ring. If you look at your matching bathroom
accessories, you’ll find that all the arms look the same
because, in fact, they are the same.
To customize your towel rack, therefore, all you need is a
replacement rod which you can make yourself depending on the
style of towel rack you are altering.
To customize a metal towel rack, you can cut the rod to
shorten it, using a steel cutting saw blade in your electric
saw or a metal cutting hand saw. To make the towel rack rod
longer, you’d do best to look for a matching rod among metal
curtain rods.
Begin by taking the towel rack you wish to customize off the
wall. Once you remove the towel rack arms, the rod will slip
out. Take it with you to a home decor or home improvement
store. In the curtain rod isle, look for a rod that will
match your existing towel rack rod as closely as possible,
and make sure the diameter is identical. You can shorten
this rod to your desired towel rack customization using the
metal cutting blades mentioned above.
To customize a wood towel rack, the job is easier and
cheaper. Once more, you will find that the towel rack arms
separate from the rod once you take the towel rack off the
wall.
To shorten the rod simply cut it to the desired size. To
lengthen it, take the towel rack rod with you to your home
improvement store and go to the wood or molding isle. Look
for dowel sticks and find one in the diameter you need. Cut
the dowel down to the customized towel rack size you desire.
