BACK TO BLACK

There’s no need to shy away from contemporary styles when you live in a country home. A towel rail with a modern matt black finish will stand out against a pale wall and give your bathroom gravitas. Many models offer a dual-fuel option, meaning they can be plugged in as well as plumbed in, so you can still have warm towels when the central heating is off.

PERFECTLY PLACED

Think about how you use your bathroom and work out the best spot for your towel rail. A well-placed wall-mounted model will free up valuable floor space and ensure you have a warm towel exactly where you need it. A simple ladder shape with clean lines is an unobtrusive choice if you prefer your free-standing tub or walk in shower to do the talking style-wise.

CLASSIC COMBINATION

For larger bathrooms, there’s now the option of a radiator-towel rail combo, which will both heat the space and keep your towels dry. ‘These models are great for those living in older country properties who prefer a classic look,’ says Andy Keeley, marketing manager at Bisque. ‘They can be colour-matched to Farrow & Ball or Little Greene paint shades.’
