It Depends on the User's Needs

According to Faucet Information Center, the height should be adjusted depending on the needs of the people who use the bathroom. If those who use the bathroom are taller or shorter than average, adjust the height of the towel bar to make it more convenient. Martha Stewart recommends hanging several towel bars on the back of the bathroom door to suit the needs of multiple users. For example, hang a towel bar at a height of 36 inches in a child's bathroom.

Use the standard height as a guideline and adjust the towel bar's height to suit your needs. Be sure that the towel bar doesn't obstruct light switches and outlets. Also avoid placing the towel bar in front of heating vents.
