We have a rod in the shower bathroom. In the bathroom itself, there is space for a dresser and an armchair, and that’s where they all end up
Works.
By the way, towels also dry on radiators that are "only" heated by water at 30 degrees (even better). It's a typical bias to think that only something that feels hot also dries. Of course, that's nonsense. It will be better than a rod. Worse than a hot 55° rib, yes, but, so what?!
