Bath Towels Add Style to Bathroom Decor

Bath towels are an often and easily overlooked aspect of bathroom decorations. Not only are they practical, but they can definitely be attractive decorative pieces used to lend some nice accentual flair to an already well-composed interior design. Most bath towels are nothing special. That’s not to say that there’s nothing in the way of cool bath towels out there, though. Here, we’ll take a look at some of the classiest styles of bath towels out there, so you can make informed decisions when it comes to stylish bathroom decor.  

Flat Color Towels

Flat color towels are the most common bath towels, and they can be extremely versatile as accentual pieces. Flat colors can be chosen to complement just about any interior design, so if all you want streaming from your towel hangers is a collection of cloths that will make the rest of the design pop, this is probably the way to go. The only downside to flat color towels is the fact that they can’t really make a bathroom design on their own. Their use is restricted almost exclusively to making an already functional bathroom design even more impressive. So, if you’re in search of something that will bring a place together, flat color can be fine. If, on the other hand, you’re looking for something to bring a bathroom from dreary to fabulous, these aren’t the way to go.  

Patterned Towels

Patterned towels come in a variety of designs, including plaid, striped, or polka-dotted. Patterned towels can be fun (e.g., polka dots), or classy (plaid or striped in the right context). These can serve a similar purpose as flat-color towels – i.e., accentuating an already bold design scheme – or they can act as standalone pieces that serve to make the design work in a way it wouldn’t were it not for the towels. The most common choices with patterned towels are stripes and plaid, since they’re the most versatile, but checkered towels aren’t uncommon and can work quite well in the right contexts. All in all, patterned bath towels are a great choice for anyone has either a functional design that could use a little more or a less than functional one that needs more.  

Graphic Towels

Graphic towels admittedly have no place in a sophisticated design scheme. They’re quite a bit of fun for kids, however, and are an almost crucial aspect of child bathroom designs. Oftentimes, such bathrooms are themed according to the child’s favorite films or cartoons, in which case the logical choice of graphic towel is the one representing the corresponding character or film. If the design doesn’t revolve around a movie or anything that might have its own graphic towels to offer, a flat-colored or patterned towel will do just fine.

These three common bath towel types account for the majority of towels bought and sold by most people looking to spruce up their current living spaces. Feel free to mix and match – flat color and striped can work well in combination, for instance. Experimentation is key.
