Towels are not only an essential product for every family, but also medium for decorating our
bathrooms. However not everyone knows how to choose a set of towels that are both good
quality and good looking at the same time. Also many people don’t know how to use them
properly and take care of them well so they will last. The following tips will help you in solving
all these problems.
1. Quantities and Sizes
Normally a set of towels should include 1 bath towel, 2 hand towels and 1 face towel. The
standard size for each towel is as follows: a Bath towel is 100cm x 150cm or 70cm x 125cm, a
hand towel is 50cm x 90cm and a face towel is 30cm x 30cm
2. Fabrics
Towels that are made of Egyptian cotton are very soft, plush and yet very water absorbent. This
type of towel is considered luxurious and expensive but will last you a very long time. It is
worthy to invest in these types of towels.
Towels made out of standard cotton are just a little bit less soft than towels made of Egyptian
cotton, but they are still very durable and meet the standards required by most families. Buying
this type of towel allows you to change towels more frequently while still maintaining decent
quality. Finally, towels made from a combination of cotton and polyester are the least expensive.
Depending on your budget and expectations, you can choose one of the above types of towels
which best suits you.
3. Colors and Designs
White towels will give an impression of cleanliness to your bathroom. Choose towels that have
the same color as the bathroom titles and other things in the bathroom. Aim to make the whole
bathroom look like a set.
If you want your bathroom to look more designed and stylish, you can choose colors that are in
contrast with the bathroom titles. Also depending on each member of your family’s hobby and
tastes you can choose suitable colors and designs
4. Usage and Care
You should always wash prior to using them when you purchase a new set. Also, don’t use
fabric softeners too often because it will make your towels less absorbent. If you can, try to let
your towels dry naturally and just don’t them too hard because frequent usage of washing
machines will make your towels stiff and less plush.
