Living together? How to choose the perfect towels for your dowry
Living together is a special milestone and involves many choices. In addition to furniture and decoration, putting together a towel set is a detail that you may not immediately think of, but that makes a big difference in daily comfort. A good towel feels soft, dries well and fits the style of your bathroom. But how many towels do you actually need? And do you choose one color or a mix? Below you will find all the information to make the right choice.
How many towels do you need?
For a good start, we recommend buying between 8 and 12 towels. This ensures that you always have a clean towel at hand, even if a few are in the wash. A balanced set consists of:
- 4 to 6 large bath towels (minimum 70x140 cm): Perfect for wrapping yourself up after a shower or bath. They provide extra warmth and comfort, ideal for the colder months or a relaxing evening ritual.
- 4 to 6 smaller towels (approx. 50x100 cm): Handy for daily use, such as drying your face and hands.
- Extras : Guest towels and washcloths are not a must, but they are a nice addition. Guest towels are practical for visitors, while washcloths are ideal for facial care or a quick freshen up.
With this basic you will always have enough towels without your closet overflowing.
What do you look for in terms of quality?
The quality of a towel determines how well it absorbs moisture and how long it stays beautiful. Pay attention to the following features when making your choice:
- Material : Preferably choose 100% cotton. Cotton towels are soft, breathable and absorb moisture well. Terry cloth is an excellent choice if you want a thicker and extra absorbent towel. For a luxurious experience, Egyptian cotton towels are ideal, as they have extra long fibers that make the towel softer and more durable.
- Weight and Thickness : Hotel quality towels tend to be heavier and offer a thicker, luxurious feel, making them ideal for everyday use and long-lasting softness.
- Maintenance : Choose towels that are colorfast and retain their softness, even after several washes.
One color or a mix of shades?
The colour of your towels also determines the look of your bathroom. You can choose a neutral and stylish look or a playful, personal touch:
- One colour for peace and a luxurious look : White, grey or beige towels give a timeless and hotel-like atmosphere. They fit in almost every bathroom and radiate peace.
- A mix of colours for a playful touch : Do you want more variety? Then choose towels in different shades that go well together. Think of a combination of soft pastel colours or a contrast between light and dark shades. This gives your bathroom a fresh and dynamic look.
With a mix of colours you can easily change the look of your bathroom per season. In the summer, light and fresh shades look nice, while warmer colours are perfect for the winter.
