Guest Towels
Guest towels are the elegant small variant of the classic towel - compact, high-quality and an important detail in any well-equipped bathroom. Anyone who welcomes guests knows: a lovingly laid-out guest towel says more about hospitality than many words. At Interior Couture you will find guest towels that live up to this standard.
In our range you will find guest towels from five renowned premium manufactories. On request we are happy to send you free fabric samples so that you can check the feel before buying - by telephone you can reach us on +49 (0) 221 630 606 12.
What is a guest towel?
Guest towels are more compact than classic towels and usually between 30 × 50 cm and 40 × 60 cm in size. This size is optimal for drying the hands after washing - and at the same time understated enough not to overload the style of the bathroom.
Unlike the classic towel, the guest towel is used primarily for the hands, not for the body. That makes it the ideal choice for:
- the guest bathroom or the guest toilet
- the area beside the washbasin in the main bathroom
- small bathrooms where space is scarce
- special occasions when you lay out with love for your guests
Properties and advantages
- Compact size: ideal for the hands, without taking up space in the bathroom
- High-quality cotton: 100 % cotton for absorbency and softness
- Quick drying: the small size is quickly ready for use again after use
- Decorative: with various rolling and folding techniques, guest towels can be presented elegantly
- Representative: thoughtful for guests, lovely to look at for hosts
- Versatile: combinable as a set with larger towels in the same colour
Brands at Interior Couture
In our range you will find guest towels from five renowned manufactories.
Abyss & Habidecor - luxury from Portugal
Abyss & Habidecor from Portugal makes guest towels from 100 % Egyptian Giza extra-long-staple cotton - one of the finest cotton qualities of all. The particularly long fibres provide exceptional volume, excellent absorbency and a wonderfully soft feel. The brand's impressive colour palette makes it easy to choose guest towels to match your bathroom fittings.
Schlossberg - Swiss elegance
Schlossberg, the Swiss premium specialist, makes guest towels with understated colour palettes and the highest material purity. Carefully selected cotton fibres keep the surface lastingly soft - even after many wash cycles. An ideal choice for a bathroom with a calm, harmonious atmosphere.
Weseta Switzerland - Swiss textile craftsmanship
Weseta Switzerland stands for the highest Swiss textile craftsmanship and uncompromising quality. The guest towels are produced sustainably in Switzerland, are free from harmful substances and impress with an exceptionally pleasant feel. A conscious choice for environmentally aware hosts.
BOSS Home - modern luxury
BOSS Home brings clear style and sporty elegance to the guest area too. The guest towels impress with high-quality cotton, understated colours and striking textures - matching the brand's minimalist design style.
Lacoste Home - sporty chic
Lacoste Home brings French nonchalance into the bathroom with the characteristic crocodile logo. The guest towels made from high-quality cotton are hard-wearing, soft and absorbent - with the brand's unmistakable recognition value.
Presenting guest towels beautifully
What particularly distinguishes high-quality guest towels is the opportunity for decorative presentation. Here are a few suggestions:
- Neatly folded in a stack: the classic that never goes out of fashion
- Rolled in a decorative basket: looks like a spa, very tidy
- Draped over a towel rail: an elegant, classic option
- Stacked in colour order: brings order and visual appeal
- With borders visible on the outside: the fine details come into their own
Anyone combining several colours should aim for a harmonious palette - such as tone-on-tone combinations or understated accents in a light base colour. Guest towels in the same colour as the main bathroom towels also create a seamless look.
How many guest towels do I need?
A recommendation for the basic set:
- Guest toilet: 2 to 4 guest towels in stock
- Guest room with en-suite bathroom: 3 to 6 guest towels
- Families with children: considerably more, as guest towels are used up quickly
- For frequent guests: twice as many as a weekend requires – so that fresh towels are always at hand
It is also practical to have several sets in different colours – this way you can restage the bathroom according to the occasion or season. Make use of our free sample service to test the feel before you buy.
Caring for your guest towels
- wash before first use, ideally at 60 °C
- wash regularly at 60 °C – this keeps them hygienically clean
- use a colour detergent without optical brighteners so that the colours are preserved in the long term
- no fabric softener – it reduces absorbency considerably
- tumble dry on a medium setting – this makes the guest towels especially fluffy
- iron if desired, for a particularly refined look
Premium guest towels only reveal their full softness after the first few washes. With good care they last for many years and age gracefully – this makes high-quality towels a long-term investment.

Frequently Asked Questions about guest towels
What is the difference between a guest towel and a classic hand towel?
The guest towel is the more compact variant – usually between 30 × 50 cm and 40 × 60 cm in size. It is used primarily for the hands, not for the body. Classic hand towels are 50 × 100 cm in size and intended for use on the body.
How many guest towels do I need?
For the guest toilet we recommend keeping 2 to 4 in stock. For a guest room with an en-suite bathroom, 3 to 6 is ideal. For frequent guests or families with children, correspondingly more, so that fresh towels are always at hand.
How do I care for guest towels correctly?
Wash at 60 °C with a colour detergent without optical brighteners, without fabric softener. Tumble dry on a medium setting, this makes the guest towels especially fluffy. Iron if desired for a particularly refined look.
How can I present guest towels attractively?
Neatly folded in a stack is the timeless classic. Rolling them up in a decorative basket also looks very tidy – almost like at a spa. Draped over a towel rail is the elegant classic option. What matters is that the borders or fine details remain visible.
What size are guest towels?
The typical sizes lie between 30 × 50 cm and 40 × 60 cm. The compact size is ideal for drying the hands while at the same time being discreet enough not to overload the bathroom.
Can I obtain fabric samples before purchasing?
Yes, with great pleasure. We offer a free sample service so that you can feel and compare the fabrics of different brands in your own hands at your leisure. Particularly with guest towels this is worthwhile, because the feel is so important.
