Egyptian Cotton

What exactly does Egyptian Cotton mean?

Egyptian Cotton Towels have a long thick loop which makes them super absorbent and soft. If you are looking for a luxurious and indulgent towel then Egyptian Cotton is the must have for your bathroom.

They have a long life span and wash well so are very much worth the investment. There are other alternatives available, such as your standard synthetic towels and waffle towels, but these are not as absorbent and have a shorter life span. All towels available from Roman at Home are 100% luxury Egyptian Cotton.

Towel Sizes

You should aim to allocate each member of the family two bath sheets and two bath towels so that they always have one of each when the other is in the wash. In terms of hand towels, a couple per bathroom is fine.

There is a variety of towel sizes available including:

Bath Sheets

• Usually around 100 x 150cm
• Perfect for drying off your entire body and wrapping yourself up in.

Bath Towels

• Usually around 70 x 140cm
• These are slightly smaller, are great for everyday use and perfect for packing into a bag if travelling.
• The smaller size of these also makes them ideal for wrapping up long hair after washing.

Hand Towels

• Usually 50 x 90cm
• Which is ideal for drying your hands and face on and can also be great for wrapping up your hair in.

Guest Towels

You will also need guest towels and if you like to show your best side off to visitors, then make sure they are Egyptian Cotton towels.

What Colour to Choose?

This all comes down to the colour scheme and look you are going for in your bathroom.

If you have gone for a traditional bathroom feel and look, then some light blue towels may complement this – they particularly fit in with nautical colour schemes.

If you are trying to achieve a boutique feel, then bright white towels can help to create this – these will complement any bathroom colour scheme whether you have gone dark, light or neutral.

If you prefer neutrals, then choose towels that tone with the tiles, paint or flooring – you can go for soft cream towels or a latte towels for example. These look particularly stunning with travertine and natural stone tiling.

And finally: Caring for you Towels…

When you first buy your towels you should always wash them.	When washing towels, don’t use fabric softener as it will decrease the towels ability to absorb water.
To make your towels super fluffy you can tumble dry them, but if you have your eye on the environment, line drying your towels can give them a fantastic feeling of freshness.	Don’t iron towels as this can make them stiff and scratchy and also make them less absorbent.
