Mix & Match Towels: How to Complement Your Towels
Completing Your Towel Sets
Whether your family is growing or you’re clearing out old towels, you might want to expand or refresh your current collection. You could, of course, opt for bargain buys or simply repurchase the same models – the classic approach. But for a more stylish and versatile look, consider a mix & match approach.
What is Mix & Match?
Mix & match is all about combining different, yet complementary, items. This works particularly well with clothing and terry products. For example, you might pair different patterns in the same colour palette, or even combine different materials within a similar shade range.
To create a harmonious overall effect, avoid buying at random. Consider the material and quality of your existing towels first. It’s also handy to know which collection they belong to – if the series is still available, topping up is much easier.
Choosing the Right Colours
Mix & match works best when your colour choices complement your existing towels. You could either buy the same shades again, or experiment with coordinating tones – for instance, denim blue with aquamarine, or moss and olive greens with soft pastel hues.
Pro tip: Colours in online images may differ slightly from the actual towels due to screen settings. If a close match is enough, you can be flexible. For an exact match, stick to the same manufacturer and check the colour names or codes carefully.
Also bear in mind that towels can change colour over time depending on washing and drying habits. For example, washing light towels with dark denim, or using detergents containing bleach, can cause fading or colour transfer.
Don’t Be Afraid of Patterns
Trend collections are perfect for mixing with classic lines. These limited-time collections from MÖVE are designed to coordinate with one or more of the classic series. Often, it’s the colours that are echoed, but material choices can also be considered when creating your towel mix & match.
Here’s what to compare:
• Colour tones
• Material
• Fabric weight
Even when shopping online, this makes it easy to see if new bath towels will match your existing guest or bath towels. Our trend collections highlight optimal combinations – for example, the MÖVE Bohemian Dreams collection complements the MÖVE Superwuschel series beautifully.
Within the popular MÖVE Superwuschel collection, certain models are ideal for mix & match, particularly those with stripes. Block-striped towels pair effortlessly with plain towels, with colour tones carefully coordinated by MÖVE.
