towel rack chair from ikea
Sometimes I astound myself with my ability to be practical. To put aside all thoughts of antique mirrored walls and marble worktops and stick to the things that are completely useful. And cheap affordable. Not to mention look good as well. Ladies and Gentlemen, readers and writers, boys and girls, I give you the towel rack chair.
It's just a really simple idea isn't it? But so practical. I have a small chair in the bathroom that I use for dumping storing things like clothes that aren't ready for the laundry (read: can't be bothered to put away) pyjamas after I've got dressed, the fleece I wear to the gym. You know the sort of thing. All those clothes that are between the wardrobe, the wear and the wash and need somewhere to go because you don't quite want to hang them back up again but then they could go again before they were washed.

Anyway, this chair would mean I could make more of a stab at hanging them, at least folding them nicely over the back and still have somewhere to sit and dry my toes. Or, for course, you could use it as the name suggests and keep your towels over the back. This would mean that the heated towel rail could heat the room rather than just the towels, which would be a novel concept. At least it would in our house. All I'm saying is if you have the chance to put in underfloor heating in the bathroom DO NOT HESITATE. You will not regret this. A heated towel rail is not enough to heat a bathroom. I don't know why I didn't know this.
Now, the other thing about this chair is that it's made from bamboo (terribly eco and sustainable and all that) and it costs £35. Exactly, why wouldn't you? It would work equally well in the bedroom as well as the bathroom. It could double up as a bedside table and you could use the struts to hang books and magazines on.
The one thing about Ikea furniture is the self assembly with the alan keys. What you could do is smear a tiny bit of filler over the metal screws and then sand it down so they disappear and then paint the chair. That would make it look more expensive – and less self assembly and means you could choose the colour you wanted. I fancy it in black, what about you?
