Facelift without a permit



No permits necessary

If you think about it, the right bath towels and rugs can give your bathroom a whole new look, no general contractor required. Many towels are available in an array of fresh, modern colors that can become a focal point of your décor, and with new colors being introduced all the time, you can refresh your bath as often as you'd like. Want to create a spa-like space? Whites and Naturals do the trick-Try plush Abyss Super Pile or Annur towels in simple, minimal white or natural. You will love the serenity you have created with the finishing touch of an accent rug.

Looking to add drama, color your world with patterns and pizazz. Abyss towels bring a bloom of colors to give life to your passions. Of course the Habidecor rugs bring design, durability, and uniqueness to another level. Color can bring your bath to another level-try it you'll like it.

There are blends, weights, fibers, and of course quality that should always be at the top of your list. You will only experience the joy of your investment if the product stays the same wash after wash. Do your part with fine linen care , and your quality towels and rugs will please you wash after wash.

Think about what you want from a towel, and know the fibers of their being.

Most towels today are made from cotton or cotton blends, but the type of cotton fiber used has a huge impact on the towel's durability, feel and color-fastness. Here's a quick rundown of some common fibers and what they bring to the towel bar:
Made from Bamboo grass, Bamboo fiber has a velvety soft texture and a lustrous appearance that dyes well. Usually blended with cotton, bamboo towels are naturally anti-bacterial and mildew-resistant. Because the bamboo plant is highly sustainable, fast-growing and doesn't require pesticides, this fiber is also an environmentally friendly choice.
The "king" of cottons. Favored in luxury markets, Egyptian cotton is grown in Egypt's warm climate and prized for its extra-long, fibrous threads. This density produces a highly absorbent cotton that is strong yet breathable. Exceptionally durable, Egyptian cotton towels can last for years with proper care.
A trademark for a high-quality, long-staple cotton fiber developed in India. Its soft and plush fibers create a fluffy towel with a suede-like texture and excellent absorbency.
Organic Cotton
Certified organic cotton is grown under highly controlled conditions without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, and specially harvested to ensure sustainability and little environmental impact. Eco-friendly dyes are often used in conjunction with organic cotton to create a truly environmentally friendly towel.
Often grown in the warm, dry climate of the southwestern United States, Pima cotton is made from the same plant as Egyptian cotton. Known for producing rich, extra-long staple fibers prized for their strength and absorbency, Pima is considered to be a superior blends of cotton.

On the subject of Rugs and Mats

Size is of the utmost concern. Make sure you have clearance for doors(remember you can always plane your doors a bit to accommodate your rugs). From there, be creative, try a runner in front of two sinks instead of two small rugs. Don't let your bath become an array of rug islands.

Be practical, if your rugs tend to get really wet, try a tub mat that's easily draped to dry. If your rugs get a lot of soil, try reversible rugs, as they will keep a fresher look between washes. Lastly, non stick backing is great, but it never lasts as long as the rug itself, so don't be disappointed-it just doesn't last.

So go ahead-make that change, and watch your spirits soar!
