Proper height for mounting a towel bar above a toilet tank?

There are many factors that need to be considered to answer this question. Insufficient data not provided. What is the type of towel that will be hung from this towel bar? Guest towel, hand towel or bath towel? For most guest or hand towels you want to divide the length of the towel by 2, add 3 or 4 inches so the towel doesn't contact the toilet tank top. Also consider that gravity factors into it as well. Ideally, the towel should not hang any higher than the shoulder of the average person using the towel after washing their hands. This is to keep the water on the hands from dripping down the sleeve of the person using the towel. Then consider the aesthetics of having a decorative item (Guest soap basket or a small floral dish or basket) on top of the toilet tank. Also consider hanging a small picture above the towel bar to balance the effect. There is no direct way to answer the question, just a few hints to consider what will be functional, easy to use and add to the overall design of the bathroom.
