Towels can add texture and style to your bathroom space while accentuating focal points in your bathroom by adding layers of interest in order to make your bath times more special. It’s wise to pay attention to how you’re displaying your towels as they can make your bathroom look aesthetically classy and beautiful. Towels when displayed nicely can look inviting while enticing you to escape from the outside world and indulge in some pampering.

Displaying your clean towels in your bathroom as decor can help to achieve a luxurious feel, where adding a touch of colours can be the cherry on the top. When it comes to personalising your style, towels can make all the difference with the right styling. Let’s find out the best ways to style your towels to refresh your bathroom interior and get your towel styling game super strong!

VIGNETTE ON THE VANITY:

Sometimes, the best styling ideas are often the simplest. You can fold, roll and stack your towels on the vanity and then style other bathroom essentials to create that luxury, polished, style element. Simple fold a face towel nicely on the vanity and pair it with a soap dispenser, a toothbrush holder and some hand creams to have yourself a functional vignette that also makes your bathroom appear fancy and luxe. This styling can add a touch of softness and colour to the vanity space and can work with any number of towel colours.

DRAPED OVER A LADDER:

A decorative ladder in a bathroom is an amazing small-space solution. Portable and convenient, the ladder is ideal for layering towels and adding some height to your bathroom fixtures. It takes up a minimum floor room yet looks super chic and instantly modernises your bathroom. You don’t need to hang your towels on the racks alike, try some different ways of folding your towels so some overlap and some hang longer as it looks visually aesthetic.

HUNG ON STYLISH HOOKS:

Add texture and dimension to the flat walls by treating your premium towels like pieces of art. Towels look great hanging on the wall so you can place a row of stylish towel hooks and hang different coloured towels. The stylish and creative hooks might seem to be minor additions to the bathroom decor but they can help pull your bathroom style and theme together perfectly. You’ll love the ease of these towel hooks as they take up less wall space and look enchanting.

STYLED ON THE TUB:

Your tub is a big chunk of white in your bathroom that cries out for some softness. You can fold a patterned towel over the edge of your bathtub as it will add more dimension to the space. A bath caddy is also a great idea as it lays out a perfect place to arrange a hand towel with other pampering accessories. A beautiful assembly of candle, book, small plants, and body brushes placed by a rolled towel over the caddy simply screams bath time.

FOLDED OVER TOWEL BAR:

Folding towels on the towel rails seems to be the most preferred towel hanging option. Most people are passionate about hanging towels over a towel bar as it dries much quicker this way. This styling option allows you to mix and match your hand and bath towels while playing with different textures and colours. Folding towels and laying them out in a proper way on the towel bar can make your bathroom more functional and aesthetically pleasing too.

HOW TO PICK THE BEST TOWELS

Choosing your towels can be partly an art and partly a science. You seek only the best bath towels for ultimate fluffiness, durability, and absorbency but you also need to put some effort into finding a towel that meets all necessary criteria. What does gram count represent? Whether you should prefer Egyptian or Turkish cotton?

To pick the best towels, take some time and figure out everything from the size of the towel and its weight to how the towel is made, and how many towels the family needs. These tips and tricks from Bedding Republic can help you pick the best towels like a pro, let’s find out how!

1. PICK THE RIGHT SIZE

Well, size is one of the factors that you should consider when getting the perfect towels. Buy a standard bath towel for a quick dry off after a shower that usually ranges between 27” by 52” and 30” by 58”. For people with average weight and height, the standard bath towel will serve well but for larger and taller people, a bath sheet can offer more warmth and coverage that measures 35” by 60”. Also, if you’re a person who likes to walk around in a towel after a shower, a bath sheet can allow you to fully wrap yourself. If you’re on the hunt for hand towels, choose a standard size 20” by 30” or 16” by 30”. For decorative purposes, pick 11” by 18” fingertip towels that can be rolled easily for the display.

2. LOOK AT THE MATERIALS

Check the materials which should be on the care label or listed online. The best bath towels are made up of 100 percent cotton. Towels made from long-staple cotton like Egyptian and Pima are softer, more absorbent, and have a longer lifespan than regular cotton. Turkish cotton has longer fibres that give towels a softer feel, more absorbency, and extra durability. Look for combed cotton towels as their fibres are brushed to remove shorter threads that prevent pilling besides making the fabric softer. Low-pile microfibre towels are best for the gym bag as they are ideal for sweaty locales. A bamboo towel can be best for bathrooms with limited ventilation as its fibres are antimicrobial preventing the towels from smelling musty.

3. CONSIDER THE WEIGHT

The thickness and weight of the towel are measured in grams per square meter (GSM). Normally, the more the weight, the denser the towel and the more absorbent and soft it will be. A lightweight towel is about 300-400 GSM ideal for the kitchen or gym. A 400-600 GSM is a medium weight towel that can be used as everyday bath towels, also great for the beach. Finally, the heaviest and more absorbent towels are 600-900 GSM that are top performers being extra luxurious and super absorbent but require a little more drying time. Appropriately denser and thicker towels are made up of high-quality long-staple cotton varieties like Egyptian, Turkish or Pima cotton.

4. PICK YOUR WEAVE

The weave of the towel affects the absorbency and drying capacity. If you want something incredibly fluffy and don’t mind long drying times, pick a terrycloth towel. This fabric features a weave of tiny loops of thread and can be made of cotton or linen, and can be knitted or woven. Their extra yarn and larger thread loops make them more durable. Choose a Turkish towel if you want something very lightweight and quick-drying. Having a tight weave, it dries quickly but has lesser absorbency than other styles. Try a waffle or honeycomb weave if you want a luxe spa look. These towels having variegated surfaces dry efficiently, allow airflow, and offer a reviving rubdown post-shower.

5. CHOOSE THE COLOUR AND PRICE

If you choose the right colour, your towels can add the ultimate finishing touch to your bathroom. You must find complimentary colours and either place them on a shelf or stack them neatly on the counter. Fluffy white towels are the most classic choice that can compliment any bathroom and work with any style yet look timeless. You can choose
coloured towels based on your preferences and sense of style. Most importantly, don’t get caught up in prices as some bath towels can cost up-to $100 but there are many decent options available at $20 – $30 that can fulfil all the necessary criteria. Go for affordable high-quality towels after ensuring these handy tips.

Eventually, by putting a little effort and time into the selection process, you’ll find towels that add both comfort and style to your bathroom. Share your favourite tips of choosing towels with us in the comments below!
