One of the most important rooms in the house is the bathroom.
This is where you go when you need to take care of “ahem” business, and it is the place to go to get yourself cleaned up. It is also one of those fun rooms you can design that has “you” written all over it.
C’mon, of the homes you’ve visited, how many of them had you curious enough to check out their bathroom?
Whether you really had to use one or not, it’s just too tempting to pass up. You will likely take a gander at the towels and how they are laid out. Are they neatly folded or hung with care?

Oddly enough, much can be said about a person by simply looking at their towel collection and how they display it.

For the added drama to the room, the contrast of colors between the big towel and the little one(s) sitting inside the created pocket would do the trick.

The concept of either using an old ladder or something that looks like one is a rather cool way to decorate the bathroom with a towel layout that also comes across as a rustic decoration idea.

As it turns out, a creative hotel staff member decided to use a couple of towels as a work of art. This is taking bathroom decor ideas to a whole new level. Should you have a guest bathroom and you have company coming, what a way to take them by surprise.
13. Tied Up
Whether it is a beaded tie-up or with another material, this bathroom decor idea treats the towel like a tied-back curtain. This can either hang off a bar in the bathroom or off the back of a small chair.
