The towel rod reached over the tub backsplash, and while I can see the appeal of having a towel handy while you're in the bath, it's not worth the grating aesthetic of the placement. I'm also not sure why the cut of the backsplash tiles is different in the center than at the left and right.
The floating shelf is centered, with towel and facecloth at the ready and distracting from the weird tile job. Next I get to figure out what will live on the shelf.
