Would it be that difficult to make a towel radiator? Is there anything particular in terms of safety that I should consider?

We have actually bought a chrome one already but I just saw this on Houzz and something like that would suit what we're going for.

Is it any more complicated than a few lengths of copper pipe (22 or 28mm) and the required elbows/valves etc? I've plumbed the rest of the bathroom so not worried about that, more just the suitability of raw copper pipes as a towel rail and safety etc.

Cooper will oxidise, especially in a high humid environment like a bathroom and it'll go green, like the statute of Liberty. It will need to be maintained to look that good.

Yep, fortunately a bit easier to clean than that though ;). We've got other bits of copper throughout so aware of the oxidisation but thanks.

That would be the most useless radiator

How come? Genuine question. But the room isn't too bad (or big) either so it doesn't need anything fantastic.
