Designing your ideal bathroom is no easy task. Finding that perfect balance between sleek style and practicality can be a struggle. No bathroom is complete without a heated towel rail, and there are fewer better feelings than stepping out of a shower or bath into a soft, warm, comforting towel. Heated towel rails aren't just a great way to warm up your towels; they double as radiators for the room, offer handy storage and are a stylish, artisanal design feature. No matter your bathroom size, style or shape, there is a heated towel rail for you. To choose your perfect bathroom feature, consider these important aspects.

Do You Want Plumbed Or Electric?
Before you can get to the fun stuff and choose your bespoke towel rail design, you first need to decide the practicalities. You probably already have either a hot water or electric heating system in your home, but your heated towel rail doesn't always have to follow suit. There are three options for types of heated towel rails:Plumbed
If your home already has central heating, then you have the freedom to choose either plumbed or electric for your heated towel rail. If you are replacing an existing radiator, then it is usually easier to choose a plumbed rail with the same pipe centres.Electric
For those who don't want the hassle of extending existing heating systems and moving pipework, electrically heated towel rails are a great option. They are also ideal for those without central heating. This type of towel tail connects to your mains electrics for easy installation.Dual Fuel
This option offers the best of both worlds. Towel rails can be plumbed into a central heating system to work like other radiators in the home, but also have the freedom of an electric heating element.
Pick The Perfect Style For You
After deciding on the type of heated towel rail for your bathroom, and choosing the best location for it, you can begin your search for the perfect design. Towel rails can add to the overall style of your bathroom, and there are a few different styles to consider.Ladder Style
These are the most common type of towel rail and are a standard ladder design. They are practical and easy to hand multiple towels on, while also letting out a lot of heat. You can choose a finish to blend with existing decor, and they are available in various sizes.Traditional Style
For an old-fashioned charm, you can opt for a traditional style towel warmer. They are perfect for period properties or a rustic vibe and offer the ball-joint design that can complement other traditional heating systems.
