Towel rails are some of the most common fixtures in a contemporary bathroom. They do their job of airing and storing your towel between uses, but are also a simple yet beautiful piece of furniture and decor. Towel rails typically come in single or double rails, and you can also invest in a heated towel rail. Towel rings are more popular for hand towels, but you can also use them for larger towels. Towel racks are similar to bathroom towel bars but typically have a series of bars instead of one or two bars. This is the ideal option for holding a number of towels separately. Towel ladders are flexible pieces of bathroom furniture you can lean up against the bathroom wall to store your towels.
