The Secret to a Spa-like Bathroom

White Towels Plumeria

PLAIN WHITE TOWELS!!!

(Check out our three bathrooms and my use of only white towels).

 

White Towels Bath

White towels, white bath mats, white shower curtains.  (But, please, no toilet contour covers or rugs! Their proximity to the germ-y bathroom stuff makes them a worthy aversion).

 

White Towels on Shelves

It is the simplest thing…and it instantly transforms any bathroom into a spa-like bathroom.

Ahhh…zen.

 

White Towels Hooks

Keep bathrooms simple and fresh.

The white towels will make you feel like you are at a posh resort or spa each and everyday.

 

{ bonus & tip }

  • They are a cinch to keep clean, wash them with all whites, and add bleach or an oxy powder if needed.  They don’t fade and look aged like colored towels, so they stand the test of time.
  • If you have little ones, or family who don’t hang towels well, sturdy wall hooks (like the ones in the photo above) make an excellent alternative to the standard bath towel rack.
If you already know this style tip, you know!  

 

If not, give it a try and let me know how it makes your bathroom feel?

    Yes, the white towel tip works. I absolutely love it! I have a 4 year old, and we get pink toothpaste on our white towels, and they wash right out. It’s perfect because usually my white laundry loads are small, but add in my white towels and I have a full load of whites. I have only white towels in both of my bathrooms. Thanks for spreading the zen spa tip!

    I love this! White is wonderful. I love your built in towel holders… that is on my dream list. Great suggestions and I am totally doing this. :)
