The Story

The vision for this Mound, MN, project was clear: create a functional yet indulgent bathroom escape. The team at DIY Network's "Bath Crashers" knew that true luxury is found in the details that enhance daily routines. While the bathroom had a beautiful design, it lacked that extra touch of ambient warmth that turns a functional space into a personal retreat, especially during Minnesota's cold seasons.

The solution was to make a statement with a functional art piece. The WarmlyYours Riviera Towel Warmer was selected as a centerpiece for the room. Its polished stainless steel surface complements the high-end fixtures, while its hardwired connection ensures a clean, seamless installation with no visible wires. This radiant heating element was integrated directly into the bathroom's electrical system, providing an effortless source of warmth.

The outcome is a stunning bathroom that perfectly balances elegance with everyday comfort. The homeowner now enjoys the simple luxury of stepping out of the shower and wrapping themselves in a perfectly warmed towel. The towel warmer not only dries towels efficiently, preventing mustiness, but also contributes a gentle, ambient heat to the room, making the entire space feel cozier and more inviting.

Riviera Towel Warmer - Hardwired - Polished Stainless

The Riviera is one of our most popular towel warmer models, and for good reason. It features a classic design with 9 gracefully curved bars, providing ample space for multiple towels. Made from high-quality stainless steel with a polished finish, it resists rust and discoloration. The hardwired model ensures a professional, cord-free look that integrates perfectly with your bathroom's design.

* This elegant towel warmer costs just about $0.02 per hour to operate. That’s only $0.18 a day, or less than $6 a month, to bring a daily dose of spa-like luxury and comfort to your home, based on local Minnesota electricity rates.

Frequently Asked Questions


The cost is surprisingly low. This specific 150-watt model in Mound, MN, costs about $0.02 per hour to run. For just a few dollars a month, you can add a significant amount of comfort and luxury to your daily routine, making it a very affordable upgrade.
While a towel warmer adds a noticeable and pleasant ambient warmth to its immediate surroundings, it is not designed to be the primary heat source for an entire bathroom. It is an excellent form of supplementary heating that works alongside your main system to boost comfort, eliminate cold spots, and provide the luxury of warm towels. For primary heating, consider our TempZone™ or Environ™ radiant floor heating systems.
A hardwired towel warmer is connected directly to your home's electrical wiring, often via a wall switch or timer. This provides two key benefits: first, a clean, professional aesthetic with no visible cords or plugs. Second, it offers enhanced safety and convenience, allowing you to operate it just like a light fixture.
Yes, electric radiant heating is very energy efficient. Unlike forced-air systems that heat the air, which then rises and circulates, radiant systems heat objects and people directly. This method transfers warmth more effectively with less heat loss, allowing you to feel comfortable at a lower ambient temperature. This direct heating is what makes products like towel warmers and heated floors both effective and economical.
