Help me with towel colors

[joannqn]

My guest bathroom has light green walls and a blue gray counter. The floor is peel and stick laminate tiles that have blue and tan in them. What color towel would you put in this room? I'm at a complete loss.

I see a neutral such as tan.

White. Nice and crisp with the other white in the room.

Dd is liking a rich, dark teal.

I agree! It will make it have the look of a spa. :)

 

It's a beautiful room!

My first thought was tan, but after looking at the picture with the white fixtures, I'd go with white. If you could find a pattern that included white, tan, blue and green, then I would use a few towels like that as an accent.

Maybe match the towels with that curtain?

How about this:

A white would look good as well.

I would go with a darker, mossy green color. You know the color of Spanish moss? It has a lot more blue-gray in it.

 

Here's a tile I found that's the color: http://www.mosaictile.com/product/MIX-QC042/Spanish_Moss_Color_Q_Mini_Glass_Mosaic.html

 

...and you could go even darker than that.

Well, that looks a lot better than I was picturing. In spite of what everyone is saying, I think white would be too stark with those colors. In FL you see lots of rooms decorated with light blues, greens and then a peach or coral color, sort of a beach theme. So maybe some peach or rose colored towels would tie the whole thing together.

LOL You should see what they did with the rest of the house. The living room, stairway, hallway, kids' bathroom, both of the kids' bedrooms, and half of the kitchen are all yellow...the same yellow. The lighting makes most of the rooms look more golden tan but the kitchen and bathroom look like butter yellow. Oh, and the kids' bathroom has pink counters to go with that yellow, and the kids picked an aqua blue plastic shower curtain with dolphins on it and aqua green towels. Somehow, it works. The master bedroom has alternating purple and tan walls and there are more than four walls because of the shape. They also didn't tape when they painted so there's paint on the trim and bathroom fixtures. They wiped the brush across some walls that hadn't been painted and didn't paint some of the harder to reach areas on walls that were painted.

:iagree:Something with similar tone to the blue and green to pull them together. Or white.

White would be fine, but I think it be bland and kind of cold. I'd do a deeper accent color and then add some accessories in similar colors/tones. I think a rich brown could look pretty, especially since you have wood cabinets rather than white. It could make it look nice and warm. Add a few pillar candles, maybe in a caramel color, in tall dark holders, (ooh, especially if they had little carmel color beads or something) paint the iron shelf behind the wall in a brown/black (they have great spray paints for that) and maybe a picture that pulls it all together and it would look really warm and inviting.

I found one in target today. It's horizontal striped with the green,light blue,dark blue, and odf white. The blue stripes are the right hue to match the counter. I have no idea why I didn't see it the first time I checked target. I'll post a photo later when my internet is working again.

[joannqn]

This is the towel we found.

[Miss Peregrine]

Cute!

 

I am laughing the comments your friends made on FB. :D

[mcconnellboys]

Pretty! I also like paisley towels (not borders; the entire towel is a paisley print). I like to mix some patterns in with solids.
