In a furnishing context, objects and textiles can make all the difference. In a bathroom, much hinges on accessories that make the room comfortable and on textiles. Bathroom towels are essential because, in addition to functional and practical aspects, they also have a bearing on aesthetics: the materials, the colours and the way they are arranged can make the space appear well organised and elegant.

Size, fabrics and supports

First, it is worth noting that there are four standard sizes for bathroom towels:

• The large towel or the towel used as an alternative to the bathrobe
• The medium washbasin towel
• The small bidet size towel
• The so-called lavettes, very small, square towels, usually available for guests to dry their hands.

Fabrics range from the timeless terry cloth, preferably cotton on account of its high absorbency capacity, to honeycomb. Natural fibre fabrics, such as linen, are ideally suited for prestigious bathrooms and highly sophisticated environments. Also worthy of notice is microfibre, characterised by good absorbency and lightweight.

Solid colour or patterned fabric? This choice has a big impact on the aesthetics of the room. There is no lack of possibilities on the market and it is up to us to choose the towels best in keeping with our bathroom decor. If the bathroom is embellished with decorations, it is best to opt for a solid colour coordinated with the hues of the decorations. Conversely, for a monochromatic room, you may feel free to experiment with patterns.

Bathroom towels should always be within easy reach and their arrangement is very important. You could go for the classic towel bar or choose towel hooks, a convenient space-saving option. Flaminia offers design solutions such as its Fold hooks, featuring the shape of a bent tubular, or towel hooks from the elegant and minimalist Two range, or the Hoop hooks. For those who have chosen a classic, elegant style, the Evergreen collection, also available in a golden version, is the right complement. Those who seek a distinctive choice can display the towels neatly folded on a tool such as Rocchetto, designed Alessandro Mendini, or on Brick ceramic shelves.
