Read to the end of the blog to get some inspiration for your home and prepare to welcome the winter in style.
Radiators are an effective way of heating your bathroom
When it comes to considering how to heat your bathroom, the first thing that likely springs to mind is the classic radiator – and there are a wide range of styles available which will add both style and warmth to your interior. Indeed, whether you want to cultivate a traditional or contemporary aesthetic, have a small bathroom or a larger space, there’s something to suit every preference.
With radiators made to suit central heating systems (plumbed radiators) as well as those which are electric-operated, you can also get dual-fuel and oil-filled options. What you choose will ultimately depend on what best suits your home and what type of radiator you want to install.
The Mer-Rad Single-panel Single Convector Compact Radiator has a classic white gloss finish and is ideal for smaller spaces, with heat output delivered via a convector design. The radiator is made up of a single metal panel, with a pair of convector fins at the back to deliver a high heat output.
Double-panel radiators subsequently have double panels and convector fins for additional heat output.
If you like a more traditional design then horizontal radiators remain a popular style, while vertical radiators offer a space-saving solution and are good for more compact interiors. They also bring a contemporary edge to rooms so are ideal if you want to create more of a feature of your radiator – and are available in a range of finishes, including matt black, gloss white and anthracite.
For example, the Addington Horizontal Radiator in Gloss White has that classic horizontal shape and can be single, dual-fuel or electric-operated, as preferred. Sleek and stylish, with two sets of convector fins for a high heat output, this radiator is perfect for keeping bathrooms and other spaces warm in the winter months.

The Peretti Aluminium Radiator is an example of a vertical style and comes in a modern matt black finish, for added visual interest and a more statement look.
Ideal for narrow spaces or good if you simply want to add character to your bathroom and be efficient with how you use the available space, this is a striking product which delivers a high heat output and will keep your interior toasty.
The Peretti Aluminium Radiator in Matt Black has a contemporary vertical design.
With an eye-catching aesthetic, column radiators are identified by the rows of metal tubes or cylinders which join at the top and bottom – and are another good choice if you want to create a focal point with your heating or add charisma to your bathroom. The vintage style of the Huby Traditional Column Radiator, for example, will bring a timeless elegance to your space, while also delivering reliable heat output and an aesthetically pleasing design.
The contrasting white gloss finish of the radiator combined with the polished chrome of the heated towel rail also supplied with the product adds texture and further visual interest.

Manufactured specifically with design in mind, designer radiators have a more contemporary style and are intended to act as both features within interiors as well as delivering heat. So, if you want to make your bathroom into a stunning space then this might be for you.
This is perfectly embodied by the Hudson Reed Xcite Designer Radiator, which has a modern matt anthracite finish and an eye-catching aesthetic, with a criss-crossing column design. Suitable for use with all heating systems, this radiator will add elegance to your bathroom and is also space-saving with the vertical style.

Although specifically designed to warm towels, heated towel rails also heat the immediate surrounding space in the room, so are another option for creating a cosy bathroom this winter. With a variety of sizes, styles and finishes available, you can complement your existing décor and add some practical luxury to your home.
With an elegant brushed brass finish, the Lazzarini Silea Straight Heated Towel Rail will not only bring actual warmth to your interior but the rich brass tone will also add to the cosy ambience. Suitable for plumbing as dual-fuel or electric-only, the Lazzarini Heated Towel Rail has a sleek, contemporary aesthetic and will bring instant appeal to your bathroom.
The Roma Straight Heated Towel Rail, on the other hand, has a chrome finish in a modern style and will work well alongside a range of décor. Again, this can be plumbed as dual-fuel or electric so is a versatile option, delivering reliable heat output and a stylish aesthetic.

Our final suggestion for how to warm up your bathroom this winter is ideal if you want to save space and enjoy the benefits of minimalist heating without the need for fitting radiators or towel rails. Underfloor heating will ensure a cosy space, warming the floor underfoot, so you can bid farewell to cold tiles, as well as keeping mould and mildew at bay as it will dry out the bathroom more quickly.
With a choice of wet and electric underfloor heating available you can again choose your preferred style and what works best for your home. Wet underfloor heating kits work off your home plumbing system, so is water-based and requires the use of pipes, while electric underfloor heating relies solely on electricity.
While underfloor heating is more of an initial investment for your bathroom, in the long run it is an efficient solution and can be installed underneath a wide range of tiling.
