12 heated towel rails for your bathroom

As well as being used as a heating solution in the bathroom, towel rails provide us with a stylish way to keep towels tidy and toasty. Available in dual fuel, electric or hooked up to your central heating, today’s heated appliances offer both looks and warmth for a more spa-like bathroom experience. Good Homes picks out 12 of the most stylish models on the market…

1. Circular storage

Make your heating a fun feature in the bathroom with Bubbles towel warmer (£552, The Radiator Centre). Take your pick from plenty of colourful finishes as well as the more subdued white or matt black, creating a complementary or contrasting look that pops out on the wall. The six-bubble design also has lots of space for all the family’s towels.

Its vintage design is dual fuel so you can use electric or central heating to warm your towels and with the free Smart Life app, you can manage settings and schedules so you always have a warm bathroom to step into.

4. Space saving

Great for small bathrooms and en suites, the Terma heated towel rail (£253.99, Plumbworld) is an Incorner design in Modern Grey. With a high heat output and large gaps between the bars for thicker towels, it’s ideal when there is limited wall space to place the radiator on just one wall and it can be fitted as dual fuel, too.
