We know its summertime but winter is never far from our minds and, while taking a self-guided tour of a house party the other weekend, we ran across this great wall-mounted towel rack radiator...
Look!: Towel Rack Radiator
Boston
There's nothing worse than a cold bathroom on a cold morning and this product solves both! The couple gutted both bathrooms in their Jamaica Plain house and added these radiators to pull double duty.
We're not sure where they purchased this one but a quick product search yielded these results which show a lot of options in styles and sizes - most of which are electric and can be added without remodeling.

These are much more popular in Europe than in the U.S. - even my dorm room in the Czech Republic had one.

Runtal North America makes units like these. My husband and I recently replaced our enormous kitchen cast-iron radiator (during a remodel) with one of their Wall Panel Radiators. It wasn't cheap, but I love the look and the heat is very nice from it.

yes, yes-- I put one (Runtal) in my bathroom over 20 years ago. Fixtures on Shawmut Ave has them; they're great for tight spaces.

yes, these are smart. and attractive. but don't ever be enticed by those electric towel heaters, they're annoying - they take an hour to heat up. a friend installed one, said it was a waste.

ohh, the hotel in paris had one and it was awesome!
It warmed the towel up nice by the time my showe was done but i didn't note how it was powered.

As much as I love a warm toel upon stepping out of the shower or tub, it seems to defeat the purpouse of reducing one's use of electricity.

towel not "toel."
