Foldable Bathroom Towel Rack

Small bathrooms lose a surprising amount of usable space to fixed towel rails that stand proud of the wall whether or not anything is hanging on them. This one folds. The arms swing down flush against the wall when the towels are dry, and out again when they are needed, which recovers the walking space beside a basin or a shower door.

The rail is 50cm wide, which takes two bath towels side by side with enough air between them to actually dry rather than sitting damp against each other. Additional hooks are built into the fixed section for a dressing gown, a flannel or a hand towel, so the whole thing does the job of two separate fittings.

The material is aluminium alloy in a matte black finish - a sensible choice for a bathroom, since aluminium does not rust in humid air the way plated steel eventually does, and matte black hides water spotting far better than chrome. It is light enough to fit on plasterboard with appropriate fixings. Check carefully for pipes and cables before drilling into a bathroom wall, and use fixings rated for the wall type appropriate to your bathroom. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry it afterwards to avoid limescale marks building up along the arms.
