You’re probably wondering why a person might spend the time creating an article about plain old boring towel rails (this author might have wondered the same thing a long time ago)… Or you might have spotted the preview image and you know EXACTLY why we at DRS get a little irrational about inspired designer towel radiators!

Today we’re going to examine what makes a towel radiator ‘designer’, and we’re going to show off some of the slickest models our team has seen over our years in the industry. Join us now or forever be stuck with boring old ladder rails…

Speaking of ladder rails, just in case you forgot, they look like this;

You’ve seen them, you get what they do, you’re probably sick of them and honestly we are too, so let’s waste no time and step into a world of newfound bathroom possibilities.

INSPIRATION AND STYLE

At DRS we get to see these beauties day in, day out in our showroom and on our website, so the thought of putting another ladder rail into someone’s property nearly knocks us sick. Your home deserves more, your bathroom deserves better, and you deserve to treat yourself to something amazing like the alphabetic Aeon S-Type, or the dramatically tiered Aeon Gallant;

Aeon is a hallmark brand known for their exceptional stainless steel quality in the designer radiator industry, and these two dramatic towel radiator designs really stand out (in both depth and the visual impact to the bathroom).

Designer towel radiators are where the real inspiration of our artists can be allowed to flourish and explore design frontiers previously left unexplored. These models push the boundaries of what is possible because unlike the other rooms in the home, a bathroom doesn’t need a tremendous amount of heat.

Not to be outdone by Aeon’s work, Bisque is one brand which blurs the line between heat and art, and creates towel radiator wonders that transform your en-suite from functional space into the pride of your home.

Hanging towels, shirts and ties on the award winning Bisque Archibald is an utterly satisfying experience. This radiator was so well received that it has hung proudly in art galleries across Europe. Though less extravagant, the Bisque Chime is still just as much of a feature for a master bathroom, with elegant, cylindrical fingers, and perfectly proportioned dimensions.

EXPRESSION THROUGH CHOICE

The modern shapes which Bisque craft are not always suitable for every bathroom however, which is where the traditional, hand polished ball joints of the Vogue Ballerina come in. This spirited shape harks back to the lavish bathrooms of the Victorian and early Windsor periods, and enriches your bathroom from a modest dwelling to a classic abode;

Simpler than the Aeon S-Type; the Aestus Eos rolls both sharply off your tongue and sharply around its own shape. This neat shape is characteristic of the postmodern movement of ultra-minimal, hyper-aesthetical interior design, the kind of thing you see in the movies but rarely believe you might see in your own home. Well, with the Eos, you just might.

Coiling superbly around itself in complete contradiction to the Eos is Bisque’s Hot Hoop; a softly curved shelf which provides a luxurious place for your cats and towels alike to curl up and get cosy.

The final designer towel radiator we have today for you is a real eye-catcher in the showroom. You can picture the Bisque Svelte inside your bathroom so easily because of its gentle curvature, and soft appearance matched in parallel by the mild arc of the thick, outer towel ring.

The charm which our towel radiator designers are able to impart upon their works of art is precisely what gets us excited about each and every design we offer. It’s something primal, the need to be unique and convey your personality through stylistic choice, and while the bathroom might be a personal place that not many others will see, what you say to yourself is likely to be the most honest and truthful expression you can make.

With our help you can remind yourself of who you are, and take pride in it each morning and night.

One brand stands out amongst even our extensive range when it comes to luxury, traditional towel radiators; Vogue. For years Vogue has manufactured an impressive range of designer radiators ranging from state of the art, modern designs, to both classic radiators for your normal living spaces as well as a wide range of high quality mid-high-end traditional towel rails.

Today’s DRS Review takes a closer look at one of these rails named the Vogue Regency, a broad towel radiator with impressive character.

OVERVIEW

• Features a Chrome-finished outer frame, surrounding an inner steel-multicolumn radiator for high heat outputs
• Two manufacturing options are available as the Regency can be made from either Steel or Brass
• The Steel version comes with a huge 15 years manufacturer’s guarantee (3 times the normal 5 year average), while Brass version boasts an enormous 30 year guarantee
• The design’s central body and over-hanging rail is handy for small and large towels, and the heat provided by the Regency will ensure you always have soft, warm towels to dry yourself off with
• Available in both a floor-mounted and wall-mounted
• The Regency is quite large, standing just shy of a metre tall in the floor-mounted version, and at 825mm for the wall mounted version, and both are sizably deep away from the wall, so ample space is needed to comfortably fit this radiator

IN DETAIL

The Regency both in name and in its demeanour gives you a sense of grandeur and stateliness, bringing the pride of royalty into your en-suite or master bathroom. The floor mounted version is available in both steel and brass variants, while the wall mounted version is available only in brass.

The steel version is fantastic value for money, and when you compare price vs quality, the Steel Regency wins on both counts, and this is reassuringly backed up by the much longer than average 15 year guarantee. The Brass version does push the price up considerably, but the guarantee doubles to 30 years and with it so does the build quality, making it suitable for almost any heating system requirements. Both the steel and brass versions are finished in high quality chrome which brightly gleams, making the Regency look exceptionally stunning.

AVAILABLE SIZES

The floor-mounted version of the Regency is available in either 965mm high (in the steel version) with 3 widths of 540mm/673mm/765mm, or at 938mm high (in the brass version), with widths of 500mm/675mm/735mm

The wall mounted version is available in brass only at 825mm tall, and with widths of 500mm/675mm/735mm.

Both of the brass versions are available with either Vogue’s standard ‘Legacy’ ball joints which feature softly rounded joints for a soft, neat appearance, or alternatively their ‘Originals’ ball joints, for slightly more ornate look at each of the Regency’s six connection points.

On top of these options, the Regency is also available as an electric model, bespoke made. By altering one of the side ball joints Vogue are able to install and electric element to increase the flexibility of the Regency tremendously.

THE DRS VERDICT

Installing the Vogue Regency is a superb way to increase the luxury of your bathroom without needing to plum for extravagant designs. The stately quality of the Regency will be the focal point of your bathroom, and a brilliantly functional one at that.

The Regency’s large design has ample space for all sizes of towels and clothes, and provides enough warmth to either dry them quickly or warm them thoroughly in time for when you need them. Beyond appearance this is the most important aspect for a towel rail, and the quality of the Regency in both steel and brass
