Jump To Our PicksA wooden towel rack is the perfect combination of functional and aesthetic. A good towel rail will blend seamlessly into your bathroom and make the most of the space.

Space Saving Wall Mounted Wooden Shelf With Towel Rail
MyGift
What we like: Wood and Metal Combination, Space Saving
What we don’t like: Mounting hardware not included
If you have a small bathroom space but still need it to be functional, we have the solution. This towel rack includes a metal bar for hanging towels, as well as a top shelf for storing supplies and accessories. It is a two in one that would work well in a guest bathroom, powder room, or space conscious apartment.
We love the combination of wood and metal, with the torched wood finish that would look great in most modern bathrooms. It does not specify that mounting hardware is included, but this is a great storage solution for a smaller bathroom.

Wooden Ladder Towel Rail With Shelf for Unique Storage Solution
MyGift
What we like: Extra storage shelf, Rustic style
What we don’t like: Not attached to the wall
You’ve probably seen wooden towel ladders, but this is one of our favorites. As well as space to hang your towels, it has a shelf at the base for extra storage or decor. This wall leaning ladder is an excellent way to add charming rustic style and spacious storage to your bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, living room, or any other area around your home.
We probably wouldn’t recommend this towel rack if you have kids that might knock it over or if you need a towel rack behind a door simply because it is freestanding. This is a perfect addition for a rustic or farm style aesthetic.

Wooden Bathroom Shelf With Towel Rack to Reduce the Clutter
Bay Isle Home™
What we like: 2-in-1 shelf with towel rack, sleek wood finish
What we don’t like: Assembly required, weight limit
Do you hate clutter as much as we do? Problem solved! This wooden shelf with a towel rail will fit right into a guest bathroom to store extra towels or in the master bathroom for extra toiletries. It is crafted from carbonized bamboo with a warm, caramel finish, and its open slat design easily holds soaps and accent decor.
It comes with hardware ready for installation, however it will still require some assembly before you put it up and is probably ill-suited to heavier objects.

Triple Wood Towel Rack That Folds Away for Small Spaces
Alfi Brand
What we like: Three-In-One Towel Rail, Folds Away
What we don’t like: Not suitable for rentals
Whether you have multiple people hanging up towels or simply want to spread towels out to dry faster, this nifty little towel rail will work in any modern bathroom. The round wooden dowels can fold away to save space or hold three towels simultaneously. We love the creative use of space.
Due to the screw-mounted design this may not be suitable for rental homes, but all hardware is included for quick installation in homes where it is allowed. This towel rack definitely makes our favorite list.

Spa Style Wooden Towel Rack For A Touch of Luxury
Teak Smith
What we like: Teak wood finish, luxurious, sustainable materials
What we don’t like: Freestanding
Create a touch of luxury in your own bathroom! This wooden towel holder showcases a distinctive "X" design that mimics those found in upscale spas. Made with 100% sustainably harvested teak and constructed by hand, it will hold plenty of plush towels to make every day feel like a staycation.
This is a free standing towel rack so it is made for bathrooms with a bit more space. It is also designed for holding towels rather than drying them so it is definitely more aesthetic than functional!

Freestanding Triple Wooden Towel Rack For Family Homes
Rebrilliant
What we like: Triple Rail, Good for bathroom or bedroom, extra shelf on bottom
What we don’t like: Takes up space
If you don’t want screws in the walls, this freestanding wooden towel rack is the answer. Big enough for multiple towels and made with a modern bamboo finish, this towel rail makes great use of vertical space and has an extra shelf on the bottom for easy-access toiletries.
This towel rack is great for hanging towels without damaging walls. However, this does mean that it will take up more room so this wouldn’t be great for a small apartment or single bathroom. No matter your style, we think this would look great in any bathroom or bedroom for reducing clutter and wet towels on the floor.

Rustic Wooden Towel Rail For The Ultimate Log Cabin Aesthetic
Loon Peak®
What we like: Rough Edges, Cabin Aesthetic,
What we don’t like: Relatively expensive
For the modern cottage or log cabin aesthetic, you can’t go past this stunning little log towel rail from Loon Peak. Loon Peak “live edge” lumber is carefully handled to retain the shape of the tree's natural edge and the bark is left intact so that a rustic, unique piece emerges every time.
It is wall mounted, lacquered for durability, and although it is relatively expensive for a single towel rail, it will be the finishing flourish on your neutral bathroom.

Classic Freestanding Wooden Towel Rail For Every Bathroom
Costway
What we like: Multiple color choices, bottom shelf
What we don’t like: Not heavily weighted in the bottom
Nothing is worse than having wet towels or clothes on the floor of the bathroom. This towel rack solves both those problems. Now you can hang your clothes ready to go when you are finished showering and then hang your wet towel ready to use next time. There is also space at the bottom for shoes and other items you want to keep off the wet ground.
Although this has three rails, the bottom is not extremely heavily weighted so won’t be good behind a door where it might get knocked around. We love that there are multiple colors to choose from and it is super easy to assemble!

Modern FarmHouse Bathroom Towel Rail With Hooks
MyGift
What we like: Clever shape, faux-distressed wood for farmhouse vibe
What we don’t like: Hooks instead of rails
Bring functional organization and distinctive decoration to your home with this multi-colored distressed wood towel rack. It has cleverly used the word TOWELS cut out of wood for a farmhouse style bathroom or modern home with a twist.
The five dual hooks attached to the top piece mean that this is perfect for a family with lots of people using towels, though hooks mean towels won’t dry as well as rails. It is mounted using flush-mount keyhole brackets for easy installation and ensures secure mounting on most wall surfaces.
