So you have decided you wanted a heated towel rail. Not very many people can resist the idea of warm fluffy towels year-round. And now that heated bathroom rails actually come in designs that would turn up the heat in the bathroom, literally and figuratively speaking, there's all the more reason to get easily convinced that indeed, a nice-looking shower rail that can warm towels would make a very good addition to your bathroom. Yes, towel rails no longer come in as the usual wooden rods. Heated bathroom rail designs in particular range from natural stone shower rails reminiscent of Zen themes, to traditional designs in cast iron, or ultra modern minimalistic styles.

Minimal Modern

Bathroom Towel Hangers

The most popular heated towel rail designs category is the contemporary range. After all, a minimalist look does not always mean minimal luxuries. The most common look under the contemporary design range is the ultra-modern look. There is a vast number of options under this design category as well. You can go for the usual contemporary bathroom rails with circular or flat oval 'tubes', or go for those with square ladder rails. The appeal of this design range lies in the fact that the designs are very practical and intuitive. They are built to make your towels as organized as possible, and for you easily hang them or pull them out.

Designer Rails

If you want a fun look for your bathroom, you can have these towel rails installed. Some of them come in small fun hoops that look nothing like bathroom rails, but do the towel-organizing job just fine. There are also rails that come in quirky paper-clip forms, and some come sin triangular shapes reminiscent of a clothing hanger with a bit of art-deco in it.

Color Madness

Now, heated shower rails also come in various colors. While the usual is the highly-polished silvery sheen of brushed stainless steel, aluminum or chrome finish, there are also heated bathroom rails that come in designer black. White is also a popular color and would suit a country house just fine. Heated rails are available in other colors as well, especially those under the designer towel rail category.

Cast Iron Towel Rails

If you want a bathroom rail that would complement a colonial house or a bathroom with a traditional look and you don't want those that are powder coated with white, you can go for cast-iron. Options aren't as numerous as contemporary types though.

Winding Pieces

Another look that is well-received by the market is the serpentine design. You can opt for this if you think ladders and tubes are too dreary already. It makes an exciting bathroom 'centerpiece'.

Heated bathroom rails have come such a long way from the usual wooden pegs and rods. Talk about a major leap from an extra to a must-have. What's even better is that with the myriad of choices when it comes to heated rail designs, finding one that would look great on your bathroom would not be too much trouble.
