to ask you to help me choose some towels?

I’m entirely unreasonable I know but I’m unwell, children only just recovered and I’m utterly exhausted.

The only light point is I’ve had my thoroughly grufty bathroom renovated and I need to get some accessories and TOWELS!

But what colour? Hot pink? Yellow? White? Colours for each person?

What accessories do I need? I’ve put aside some money to get some really nice stuff so go wild if you like home decor like I do.

I’m entirely abusing AIBU but I don’t care. Also NC as the bathroom is outing.

M&S have lovely fluffy towels in about 50 colours.

TheBathroomBitch · 09/11/2021 21:27

Hmm those leopard print colours dont look right. But a pattern would be great!

@TheBathroomBitch

Ok - ancillary - where do I get the best towels? I’m fat so I like a massive bath sheet.
TK Maxx, or an outlet place, if you're anywhere near one. Really good quality for the price of Tesco!
Haus1234 · 09/11/2021 21:36

I would go burnt orange with those tiles I think, but hot pink is good! Perhaps both?

Spanglybangles · 09/11/2021 21:49

I’m currently loving these Joules towels and I think they’d look pretty ace in your bathroom……or just go with the hot pink!!

MrsToothyBitch · 09/11/2021 21:51

Can recommend m&s towels. I bought some with vouchers from my birthday a few months ago- they're fluffy and they wash well! Also see if you can get a deal on them. I got 8 towels- 4 bath & 4hand towels for about £30 rather than £120 with vouchers and an offer.

Also Iove the hot pink!

cowburp · 09/11/2021 21:53

Hot pink! And bright orange if you need a 2nd colour.

Leah2005 · 09/11/2021 22:06

Beautiful bathroom. Mustard? I love tk max for towels and sainsbury's have been pretty good too.

TheBathroomBitch · 09/11/2021 22:13

Mustard could work but it feels a bit on the nose.

I’ve got the leopard print hand towels for the downstairs loo which we also had done - will jazz it up

@Yayaga

Wow love it! I would get black towels for that bathroom.
No! We were given towels that were predominently black and they were a nightmare. For this bathroom I'd be looking for the palest grey/silver colour towels.
RobertsRadio · 09/11/2021 22:30

I think hot pink or aqua coloured towels and definitely a blind. I like M&S and John Lewis for towels, or you could try TK Maxx.

Oblahdeeoblahdoe · 09/11/2021 22:40

My favourite bath sheets are from John Lewis. They usually have a good selection of colours. I immediately thought pink and/or purple

TheBathroomBitch · 09/11/2021 23:28

@Yayaga

I really like those but the biggest one is too small - I need a big old bath sheet for my big old body.

I clearly need some real world problems 🤣

If you can, buy Christy's towels. Mine are neatly 30 years old and still come up fluffy from the dryer.

They just go on forever and you can't tell they are 30 years old they don't look new because the colour fades a bit after decades. But the texture and bounce are still amazing.

I think hot pink or aqua towels would look lovely in that gorgeous bathroom. I don't like indoor plants personally, so I wouldn't have them.

I also don't like animal print anything, I think it looks awful,

But it's your bathroom so don't listen to me!

womaninatightspot · 09/11/2021 23:42

I buy my towels here Christy ones are normally half price and they have lots of colours. www.justlinen.co.uk/justlinen/towels.asp

NotMyCat · 09/11/2021 23:47

Plant would be nice
Agree with pink. I have not very expensive towels from Asda and dunelm, both have lasted 15 years plus and are wearing brilliantly
They have magenta or fuchsia

And a striped one

Hot pink or mustard yellow
