I put the anchor (which I knew was a safe length) next to the drill bit and taped exactly where that stopped. Rookie Tip: Add painter’s tape on the pilot bit so you know how far you can drill into the door without poking out the other side. I double checked my work with a tape measure and a level a few times JUST to make sure. Then I colored in the markings to identify where I would drill the pilot holes for the anchors. Using a tape measure, I measured the center of the door and held the hook up to that spot. My hook came with anchors + screws, so I held both of these items up to the door just to make sure that they were short enough to fit inside the door.

The first thing you need to do is find anchors that are short enough that they will not go all the way through the door. Once I finally found the hook I wanted, I had to hang it… on a hollow door… for the first time ever!

Modern Wood – I ended going with this one because I loved the modern, simple design.Plus, I think the stripes is a bit too preppy for this space but someday I definitely hope to incorporate this cutie.

Black + White Hook: I’ve ALWAYS been obsessed with this hook and I really wish I could have made it work, but I was afraid that it may stick out too much and hit the wall/door behind it.Plus, I wanted to add a bit more personality with the hook and this one seemed a little too much of a “safe choice”. Simple Knob Hook: Loveeeee the simplicity of this hook but I wasn’t sure how well it would hold a heavy towel.

Brass + Pearl Round Hook: Loved the detail on this hook but because it didn’t come in silver/chrome, I didn’t think it was a perfect fit for my bathroom.

But because the leather seemed a bit “orange-y” online, I decided this was not the perfect option for this space.

Leather Hook: This is a bit outside of my normal look but I really liked the hint of leather on this hook.

Maybe in my next bathroom because I love this look and totally think it goes with the ‘feel’ of this space.

Hemisphere Hook: I have been pretty obsessed with this hook since Casey added it to her guest room, but because my bathroom doesn’t have ANY gold in it, I just don’t think it works.

Here’s what I found (along with the pros & cons of each):ġ (no longer in stock) // 2 // 3 (no longer in stock) // 4 // 5 (no longer in stock ) // 6 That’s when I started searching for a hook that would work well with this design. I decided that I want to use this hook sometime in the future, but this bathroom project was probably not the right time.

Learning how to hang this hook on a hollow door without impacting the other side of the door When I decided I wanted to add a cute hook to the back of the door, I had two challenges:Ģ. I brainstormed a few options, but ultimately decided to add a hook onto the back of our door. I figured if I added a cute hook, it would not only add a bit more of my style but most importantly, it would allow me to hang my towel overnight.īut allow me to back track a bit because I’m getting a little ahead of myself here. Hanging damp towels in the linen closet at night to find that they are still damp the next day is never a good idea. We used to have towels hanging out in the open, which solved that problem previously but we ditched those hooks with the makeover and are now in need of a solution. There are currently hooks in our linen closet (the left door) that Matt and I use to hang our towels, but drying towels inside of the closed closet is not always effective (hello damp, mildew-y towels).

Fast forward a few months and this feeling has not gone away (yay!), but I have noticed a tiny upgrade that I want to make in order to allow this tiny space to work even harder for us. Bathroom Updatesīut after some new paint, new lights, DIY shiplap, and a touch of decor/art that was far more me, I now love our bathroom.

And because I didn’t have a budget or most importantly, the need to gut the whole thing (it was too nice for that) I thought my bathroom would be forever fine.

I know it’s only been a few months since I “finished” my mini bathroom makeover, but I am still SO in love with this tiny space.
