Are You Buying New Bath Towels This Month? (Think White Sales!)


There are still January White Sales, with bedding and bath linens going on sale during the month, but it's not such an obsession any more with homeowners. We actually wish it were, as it was always a great tradition. It was nice to have an annual "trigger" or prompt to get us to change out something in our homes.

 



 

Fresh bedding and bath towels are a great way to add a necessary jolt to a bedroom and bath - but today, let's get obsessed with bath towels! Here are some of our favorites, and perhaps this post will prod you into action this year. Replace some fading, fraying towels with fresh ones!

    Innately, bathrooms tend to be very yin. Make them brightly lit and cheery.

    2. Cleanliness

    Bathrooms should be clean, clutter-free and as opened and airy as possible.

    3. Working Order

    Keep everything in your bathroom functioning. Dripping faucets can be a metaphor for money leaking out. Make sure your toilet works properly, and definitely keep the toilet seat down to minimize draining chi.
