The Finishing Touch for a Farmhouse Master Bath

When designing a "Farmhouse" style master bathroom, the aesthetic often relies on beautiful tile work, vintage fixtures, and open spaces. However, the downside to these large, tiled rooms is that they can feel physically cold and utilitarian. The homeowners in York, PA, faced a common challenge: their beautiful new bathroom looked warm and inviting, but the reality of damp towels and chilly post-shower air dampened the experience.

Red Oak Remodeling addressed this by installing the Bellagio Towel Warmer. Unlike standard racks that leave towels damp and musty, this electric radiant heating unit dries towels quickly and keeps them toasted for the user. The polished stainless steel finish of the Bellagio 20-bar model perfectly complemented the farmhouse fixtures, proving that modern functionality doesn't have to clash with rustic design.

By pairing the unit with a Hardwired Programmable Timer, the homeowners eliminated the worry of leaving the unit on. They simply set it to warm up 20 minutes before their morning routine. This installation solved the "cold shock" problem effectively, proving that radiant floor heating and radiant towel warmers are not just luxury items—they are functional necessities for modern comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Both are surprisingly affordable. As noted, this towel warmer costs about 3 cents per hour to run. Similarly, electric floor heating for a standard bathroom often costs less than a traditional lightbulb to operate. Both systems utilize energy efficient heating technology to keep costs low.
While a towel warmer produces radiant heat, it is designed to warm towels, not the air volume of a room. For total room warmth, we recommend installing floor warming systems, such as TempZone™ Cable or Flex Rolls, which act as a primary heat source.
Hardwiring, as done in this Farmhouse Master Bath, hides the cords for a cleaner, more professional look. It also connects directly to the home's circuit, allowing for seamless integration with a programmable timer, which is superior to standard plug-in models.
Absolutely. Many homeowners choose to install in-floor heating to keep the tiles warm underfoot and a towel warmer to wrap themselves in warmth after bathing. It is the ultimate combination for conquering the cold in any bathroom.
