Choosing the Right Type of Towel Rail
Choosing the right towel rail is a case of personal taste, and the towel rail should not only complement the rest of the bathroom, but should also be the right size for the available space. It’s important to measure your wall to make sure you have room for the towel rail you plan to buy, before purchasing.
