The Science of Buying Bath Towels
October 31st, 2011
No comments
There is nothing more luxurious after a relaxing bath or a hot shower than to wrap yourself in a large, plush bath towel. Not a cheapie version, but a soft, velvety towel with some weight to it. Buying really nice towels is a bit of science. You have to know what to look for, where to purchase them and how to display them once you’ve got them. Here are some tips to help you with your next towel purchase.
Selecting Your Towel
With so many types of towels out there, how do you choose the right one? Most towels are made from different weights or grades of cotton. Egyptian or Brazilian cotton are some of the more costly versions, but choosing a towel shouldn’t be based on price and grade alone.
It should feel soft, velvety and have some weight to it. Some tricky manufacturers add fabric softeners to give the illusion of a softer more luxurious towel, that is why weight is a good indicator of a durable, quality towel. The fibres should stand up straight and the fabric should be tightly woven. Steer clear of the rough lightweight towels with a loose weave. The more loops per square inch, the more absorbant the towel will be.
When choosing colors, white and ivory can be used with all color schemes and will be less likely to show fading. Add interest by including colors from your shower curtain or bath mat or trying combining different shades of the same color.
Where to Shop for Your Towels
The average price range for a good bath towel is about $15 with more decorative versions running about $20. An entire set of hand/bath/face towels shouldn’t cost any more than about $50-$60 if you buy them on sale. Watch for half-price sales at major department stores or deals in stores such as Winners, Linens ‘N Things, or Target.
Unless you want to pay upwards of $30 each you have to be creative in your search for a nice bath towel.
Taking Care of Your Towels
Now that you’ve got your first set of really nice bath towels, you want to keep them. Cleaning instructions are pretty basic; wash colors separately and avoid fabric softener, it can make your towels less absorbent. Even though they smell great when dried outside on the line, using a dryer will keep them much softer.
These towels should last for years, even when they start looking ratty you can cut them up and make great rags out of them.
Displaying Your Towels
Towels when displayed properly become a functional and decorative accent in your bathroom. Here is a quick lesson on folding your towels:
1. Smooth it out flat and fold in half lengthwise.
2. Smooth and fold lengthwise again.
3. Next fold in thirds, one end in and again.
This gives the towel an extra thick appearance, be sure to display with the folding side showing and the tags tucked in. Now style your towels:
1. Pile up in tiers with the bath on the bottom, hand and face.
2. Roll and stack in pyramids, baskets or crates.
3. Place on top of a bed in the guest room with a decorative soap on top.

When it comes to your bathroom, having the right bath accessories not only says something about the design of your house, it says something about you, personally. The bathroom is one of the most personal spaces in any house and, therefore, it should not only reflect your personality, it should give you comfort and happiness when you are in there. The right bath accessories help you to personalize your bathroom in a way that no other design tool can.
Now days we are inundated with advice on designing and decorating our homes. We see this advice in the papers, in magazines and on the tv. One thing that all these design gurus have in common is the view that accessories can make or break any design scheme. If your accessories are wrong, it can spoil the whole look of a place. In the bathroom, the right accessories are even more important, as many people regard this area of the home as their own personal space somewhere they can shut out the world and truly be themselves. This means that it pays huge dividends to spend the time that it takes to have the right accessories.
There are now specialist retail outlets and online stores that are dedicated to providing you with the right accessories for your bathroom. The most popular lines in bath accessories at the moment are towels and mirrors. The type of mirror that you have in your bathroom can make the space appear smaller or larger it can echo aspects of the decor in other areas of your home or it can look as though it shouldn’t be there. So, it pays to take the time and care to choose the right mirror for your bathroom.
Towels are very popular, not only for their primary purpose, but as bath accessories in their own right. Towels can give your bathroom that look of luxurious comfort. Thick, fluffy towels that fit with the rest of your color scheme are an essential part of any well designed bathroom. Large, fluffy towels speak of luxury in ways that no other accessory can hope to match.
Bath accessories cover all aspects of the extras that are needed in most well designed bathrooms. Some suppliers have whole ranges of accessories, from shower heads to soap dishes, all meant to compliment each other and to ensure that your bathroom fits in with the rest of your decor. These range from serviceable chrome bins, shelves and shower heads with white linen, to frothy pink bath mats, shower curtains and toilet roll holders. It’s up to you to decide what best suits your needs and the rest of your home design.
Some stores and sites have expert help on hand to assist you in choosing the right bath accessories that fulfill your needs and fit in with your design scheme. If you’re not sure which products are right for you, professional advice can be invaluable in helping you to make the best choices. Not sure whether your shower curtain fits in with the rest of your bathroom? Then consult the experts. They will be able to advise on the best color and style mixes. You’ll find out how choosing the right bath accessories can update the most tired looking bathroom and help it to fit in with the design in the rest of your home.
Bath accessories can change the whole look and feel of your bathroom. They can make the difference between a cold and uninviting space to a warm and welcoming one. So, if you are looking for an inexpensive way to update your bathroom and make it more inviting choose the right bath accessories.
