What Kind of Hand Towels Are Used for Guest Bathrooms?
- Plush Egyptian cotton hand towels work well in guest bathrooms because they have a luxurious feel. However, Egyptian cotton usually has a higher price tag than standard cotton because it's so much softer. The quality is better than many other types of yarn, which makes it a favored addition to any home. Buy Egyptian cotton in any color that suits your taste and the style in your bathroom.
- Basic cotton hand towels are probably the most commonly used hand towels in guest bathrooms because the price is affordable. Cotton towels also have a soft, high-quality feel. The feel of the towel can also depend on the thread count -- how tightly the threads are woven. Higher-thread-count towels have a softer feel.
- Textured hand towels provide dimension with floral, checkerboard or other patterned shapes with grooves and raised edges. The texture is created by how the fabric is woven together during the manufacturing process. Textured towels work well with just about any theme as long as you choose the right colors. Select neutral shades such as beige, tan and brown if you have a low-key or minimalist bath. Pastel colors such as baby blue, yellow and lavender work well in a flowery or ocean-themed bathroom.
- You can also find hand towels in a variety of fabric blends. These towels feature various combinations of cotton, polyester, nylon, rayon and other fibers. These hand towels don't feel as soft as 100 percent Egyptian or standard cotton towels, and the price is generally low for blended fabric towels. Some hand towels are made with bamboo or a bamboo/cotton blend, and they tend to have a high-quality feel.
