There's nothing more exciting than getting your own place and being able to decorate it exactly to your taste. That feeling of finally transitioning your Pinterest boards from digital to reality is one of life's biggest joys — having recently renovated a small cottage on the Isle of Wight, I know this too well.
Which is why, here at Cosmo, we're all about sharing the latest interior trends, whether that's colour palettes or the best furniture bargains on the market. In terms of the former, the design wizards among us will know that earth tones—especially in the bathroom—are one of the biggest trends this season. Going perfectly with the timeless Scandi style, they create a calm, inviting atmosphere by bringing natural and organic elements indoors. And one of our fave high street brands for home decor, specifically this style? H&M.
The store's most recent offering is this stunning striped bath towel in brown and blue, perfectly designed for a modern and sleek look at home.
Like in the images, the towels complement mushroom and stone colour schemes, not to mention brass fittings and rattan furnishings. Simply add a couple of house plants (make sure they thrive in steamy conditions), and voilà, you've got yourself a wellness-inspired home spa.
Unlike luxury resorts, this bathroom addition won't cost the earth (pun intended). On sale for just £9.99, the towel is made from soft cotton with yarn-dyed stripes, which allow it to be mixed with solid-colour items when washing.
For those looking for consistency in the bathroom, there's also a matching hand towel (£4.99) and guest towel (£2.99) available — the whole set is literally less than £20.
Brb, just adding this whole set to our basket.
