Fab Five: Striped Towels

I’m 100% obsessed with striped towels. I know, the word obsessed really annoys some people, so I promise to try to limit / mix it up a bit. Maybe. Actually, maybe not! Having just checked the trusty thesaurus, I’m not into the alternatives. Haunted? Plagued? Nope - negative connotations. Fixated? Infatuated? Yeah maybe, but my blog, my words, and I AM obsessed.

Anyway, back to towels. Big ones with big stripes, commonly or traditionally at least, sold as pool and beach towels, but in the absence of a pool or the weather for a pool, the bathroom will absolutely do thanks very much. For me they scream hot weather and glamorous hotels, and they just make me happy. Besides, why should pools and beaches have all the fun!

Think of them as accessories - just as cushions can change the look in your living room, a bold towel can do the same in your bathroom, whether it’s a hand towel on a hook or heated towel rail, or bath sheets rolled hotel style on a shelf, or simply hung on hooks on the back of the door, they can add a touch of glam, and a bit (or a whole lot) of colour depending what you choose.

I always look for bath sheets which are the largest size, as I really hate small towels,. I’ve only included ones that meet that criteria, so nothing under 100 x 150cms.

However if you don’t mind a smaller towel, or are after hand towels, face cloths, kids or guest towels, also check out Dusen Dusen for a extra hit of mega-colour, OYOY, and Cologne & Cotton too.

These are the loveliest of the lot - big and BEAUTIFUL!
