How to Elevate Your Bathroom Decor with Hawkins New York Towels

December 5, 2022

The bathroom is one of the last places most homeowners think about when it comes to interior design as renovations and new appliances can be expensive.

 

But you can spice up your bathroom decor with a fairly simple look at something you’re going to need anyway: Hawkins New York hand towels.


Some hand towel ideas will give your living space that personal touch it so badly needs without the huge price tag.

 

Because the reality is: even if you live in a rented space — hand towels can travel with you wherever you go. Here are some simple bathroom hand towel ideas to help you transform the look and feel of your bathroom, and give it a modern touch.


Start by Reducing Clutter

Most of us aim for a bright, clean design and minimalist bathroom, and having everything in its proper place is the best way to achieve that look. Tossing towels on the floor is something you do in hotels, not your own home, so find a perfect place to hang all your towels and robes.

 

Install a hook for your bathrobe and a ring or rack next to the sink for hand towels. Shelving units are also a bathroom storage option for stacking multiple folded up or rolled towels together. It’s a simple change that drastically improves the cleanliness of the space.

 

The racks themselves can be either basic silver or brass and copper for a classic look. However, make sure whatever towel racks and storage you choose properly or contrast with the existing décor of your bathroom to create a consistent and desirable look.


Choose a Color

Bath towels often come in bright or beige colors to match the white look of most bathroom designs, but you can go with anything from deep blues to darker tones depending on your style. The biggest point here is to ensure that you choose a color that contrasts with the rest of your bathroom, such as the paint color,  bathroom cabinets and bath accessories.

 

In 2022, popular bathroom paint colors include:


  • Soft or muted greens to make the space more welcoming and rejuvenating
  • Cozy earth tones to create a relaxing space to enjoy a warm bath or shower
  • Soft blue accents to balance white or gray tones
  • Black and charcoals to add a strong and vibrant personality to your bathroom space

One extra option is monogramming, a simple mark stitched onto each towel to help identify the owner or to simply look nice. It’s a common practice for chairs and storage boxes, but monogramming is also a popular staple of bath towel customization.

 

Best of all, many homeowners take on monogramming as a personal DIY project, as you don’t need an expensive embroidery machine to get it done. 


Pay Attention to Your Bath Rugs

You’ve got hand towels and robes, but don’t forget about the foot towel you use right after getting out of the shower.

 

When selecting your bathroom rug, you’ll need to decide between texture, color, and shape. Luckily, there are a variety of great bathroom rugs available in all of these options. The hardest part is picking the right one to transform your space.

 

A used bath mat can make your bathroom look disheveled, so wash and replace it regularly. If you’re feeling extra fancy, consider a Persian or other type of wool rug to add some personality.


Consider Hawkins New York Hand Towels for Bathrooms

Bathroom towels come in many sizes and variations, ranging from small face towels to larger bathing towels. One you should include in your bathroom is the Hawkins New York waffle hand towel.


Hawkins New York waffle towels are made of 100% cotton, and are named after their texture, a collage of little honeycomb squares. This pattern has a practical use in:


  • Absorbing and wicking away moisture
  • Quickly drying out thanks to increased airflow
  • Resistant to shrinkage
  • Mitigating germ growth and odors
  • Exfoliating the skin

 

Of course, some interior designers simply love the aesthetic appeal of the waffle pattern. Many towels of this type are made with natural materials, and come in neutral colors for a bright, simple look. They also take up less space when stacked up, making it easy to store multiple in a single small bathroom.
