Trying to hang anything in a 70s bathroom is a full-time job.
So I’ve been living in this house for the last 3 months. I love it. it’s super pretty and cute, built in the 70s. The main issue I’m having is hanging stuff in the bathroom.
I’ve tried adhesive hooks, but they literally fall off after a few days to a week. I assume it’s because of the humidity after showers or just cheap adhesive. Either way, I’m tired of towels ending up on the sink or hanging over the shower door.
So I’m thinking screw it and getting some proper hooks. These I’m looking at only need two screws, so in theory it shouldn’t be a big deal. Or would a single-screw hook be enough for something simple like towels? Nothing heavy.
The problem is the tile is old and hasn’t been replaced since the house was built (according to the previous owner), so I’m assuming it might be pretty fragile and easy to crack at this point.
Now I’m stuck between risking drilling into it and possibly damaging it (no way I can afford redoing the whole bathroom), or trying stronger adhesive hooks again and hoping humidity doesn’t kill them long-term.
