Where do you hang towels between uses?

Get additional towel rails put on wall and allocate one to each individual.

Keeping on bannister is not only unsightly but would stop someone getting a grip if they stumbled while using stairs.

How big is your bathroom? Mine has no spare wall to add anything else to.

Another vote for over the bannister.  I don't think it's "unsightly" - unless you're extremely house-proud and have to have everything looking perfect.  Sorry, for my money, if you're talking about the needs of a family, and the rapidly-escalating cost of living, then practicality takes priority.  Unless you're going to hang them on a heated towel-rail or radiator, then I reckon the banister has got to be the most practical solution, it allows the air to circulate a bit and gets them dry.

I have been known to chuck them onto a clothes-horse and stand it in the garden if the weather is nice, to get them really dry - it's slightly less effort than pegging them out on the line    But nine times out of ten, it's the bannister.

Banisters and back of the shower room door which opens against a radiator and helps drying in the winter.

On a hook on the back of the bathroom door.

Or if you're my partner; crumpled and wet on my side of the bed all day.

Not very big

If there is existing towel rail you just put additional ones above getting progressively stepped out from wall to allow airflow.

The best solution could be change out radiator for towel rail type if space allows.

I had 3 double hooks put on the back of the bathroom door.

Any reason you each need your own towel??

Not wanting to use a towel that other people have wiped their bits on, even if those bits are clean? I wouldn't want to use a towel after someone else, even where that someone else is my nearest and dearest.

We hang ours on our heated towel rail radiator.

Which reminds me, our plumber seemed to think we are odd putting a small towel rail radiator in the kitchen. This made sense to us for hanging hand towels and tea towels on to dry. Does this seem odd to you?

I don't use hand towels in the kitchen, hands are dried on kitchen roll and on the rare occasion I use a tea towel as opposed to things air drying it goes straight in the wash afterwards. Bathroom hand towels also washed every day if there's more than just me around.  Hangover from infection control at work, I think.
