Why a towel rack is indispensable in the kitchen
Towels are a kitchen essential — you use them multiple times a day. Without a practical place to hang them, they often end up wet and messy on the counter or furniture. A towel rack provides:
- Order and tidiness in your kitchen
- A place where towels can dry properly
- A stylish addition to your interior
- Hygiene, because towels are not stacked
Which type of towel rack suits your kitchen?
When buying towel racks it is important that you choose a model that fits your kitchen situation. There are different types of towel racks, each with their own advantages.
1. Wall Mounted Towel Racks
These racks are attached directly to the wall. They are ideal if you want to save space. Thanks to their fixed location, they look neat and provide a tidy whole.
Example: Black towel rack made of scaffolding pipe – robust and industrial, perfect for a cool kitchen style.
2. Freestanding towel racks
Do you have a spacious kitchen or do you want to be flexible in placement? Then choose a freestanding rack. Such models are easy to move, without drilling or screwing.

3. Door or cabinet hanging systems
If you prefer to avoid drilling, opt for towel racks that you hang on a cupboard door. They take up minimal space and are ideal for small kitchens or rental properties.
Choice of materials: robust, stylish and durable
The material of a towel rack determines not only its appearance, but also its durability.
- Metal or steel – sturdy and industrial in look
- Stainless steel – ideal in damp areas
- Plastic – lightweight and easy to clean
- Wood – warm in appearance and fits well in country kitchens
When buying towel racks, pay close attention to the choice of material. Our MacLean towel rack in black steel is very popular because of its sturdiness and industrial look.
Style and design: how to make your towel rack an eye-catcher
A towel rack doesn't just have to be functional, it also plays a role in the interior of your kitchen. Choose a style that fits the rest of your decor:
- Industrial: black steel or scaffolding tube, such as our industrial models
- Modern: sleek design, optionally in black or gold accents
- Country: wooden or white models, with a rustic touch
- Minimalist: slim models without frills
How much space do you have available?
When choosing a towel rack, first consider how much space you have available. Measuring is knowing!
- Small kitchen? Choose dent support mounting or narrow wall shelves
- Spacious kitchen? Then you can choose a wider or freestanding model
Use a tape measure to measure your wall or cabinet surface properly. This way you can be sure that the desired rack fits properly.
Useful extras to pay attention to
When buying towel racks, pay attention not only to the appearance, but also to useful functionalities such as:
- Multiple bars for multiple towels
- Rotating arms to optimize space and drying
- Mounting material included : very convenient!
