Bright towels are a great way to add a pop of colour to a bathroom. But white or cream towels add a little luxury.

white every time .....

Hi Emmeline. I normally prefer white for a luxurious look but i have branched out recently. Dark grey for guest towels (obviously not on show but I figured they'd stay looking good for longer). I'm also getting bored of the normal fluffy towel so would prefer hammam style or something with linen etc but in grey or/and white. I have however just painted my bathroom in railings and have added really cheap grass green textured towels (from ikea!) which I'm quite liking at the moment!

I love hammam towels! And they take hardly any space at all - you just gave me an idea Minnie!

Hello Emmeline,

I tend to have white towels but I also have a range of little hand towels from Habitat that were meant for the kitchen.. They are folded and stacked in piles for anyone wanting to use one. I don't like hand towels hanging or those little round rails.. I might at some point change to navy and a dark green to go with the bathroom : ))

Hello Minnie,

How are you? Haven't heard from you in a long time.. Glad to hear you went for the dark look in the bathroom then.. : ))

Hi AJ. I'm good thanks. How are you? I acquired a 5l tin of railings for free so i thought I may as well paint the room in that and then the decision was made for me rather than spend another few months deliberating various dark blue paints (or dark teals, greys or petrol blue!)

Ah very good Minnie, well enjoy it! :))

As an interior decorator its my job to help my client discover what they like but I must admit I like a combination of both, I work with a beautiful designer from Turkey that has the most exquisite hand woven towels that are neutral in colour but the most wonderful patterns in subtle pale tones. I find these work in most bathrooms. www.ladybughome.co.uk if you would like to take a look.

We will have white towels in our bathroom with an equal share of either grey or orange to go with the bathroom colour scheme. I do prefer white towels though, they feel so luxurious especially when they're still fluffy! But coloured towels are a great way to add a pop of colour in a potentially plain bathroom.

White for sure! Just having had a shower, I feel the white reflects the freshness of what you want to feel :)

I think it depends entirely on what the towel sits next to. We offer a large selection of colours and styles, so for example alongside one of our brightly coloured bespoke Cirtowelo models, a white towel would most likely provide a very visually pleasing contrast.

the only family member in our house with a coloured towel and thats the dog !

We have a vintage pink bathroom suite. Have painted the room in pale pink and white with black accessories and towels. With touches of sparkle.

With my mucky husband, I'd be washing white towels 10 times a day!

We have a we have a neutral bathroom that we can change in an instant just by changing from white towels to fuschia pink or electric blue or even sea green or whatever colour I fancy makes life so interesting

I have two sets for each of the three bedrooms so couples staying can easily tell which towels are whose. They match or blend with the decor of the bedroom and the bathroom/shower room. I love colourful towels and I love colourful patterned towels even more. They can be hard to find and when I find them, I buy.
