On average, a wooden towel stand won’t fill an entire bathroom length and it will also be shorter in height. As you begin shopping for a new stand, you need to assess the size of your bathroom carefully and pick a small and compact stand that doesn’t create too much clutter. If you have a big bathroom, then you have the luxury to go for a bigger size but most designs are relatively smaller. It seems that a lot of manufacturers of wooden towel stand designs presume that the majority of their customers will be people with small bathrooms. This is probably the main reason why most stands tend to be small and compact.
