In the summertime, most of us are so focused on the big picture of our patio schemes that we often forget about the little details that make it look complete – like pool towels.
Unlike outdoor furniture, pool towels aren’t necessarily the most essential features of an exterior set up. But visually, they take up space, so if your poolside is cluttered with dated towels, it will be noticed. Whether draped over a poolside chaise lounge, laid along an outdoor sofa, or placed upon the grass, chic pool towels have the potential to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your outdoor space. And if you're heading to the beach, these towels will make your seaside setup look that much more put together too.
For a simple, summery look, I’d opt for Parachute’s Bayside Beach Towel with its soft, subtle stripe. But for a more vibrant, playful look, try Jonathan Adler’s eye-catching Playa Beach Towel, instead. Regardless of your preference, just having a design-oriented pool towel (or a few of them), will make your backyard look coordinated and considered.
The bottom line is this – if you've put time, money, and energy into making your outdoor space look like a 5-star resort, then the last thing you want to do is ruin the aesthetic with a 0-star pool towel.
