When choosing the towel rail for their bathroom some people meet the difficulties deciding on what size of the towel rail they need. It depends on a few factors: general room area and the needed functions of the future towel rail.
If the main task of the towel rail is clothes drying, then its size should be chosen according to your own estimates, based on how many towels you plan to dry at once, and how much space is available for installation.
