But how to choose wisely these pieces that will join your bathroom? On what criteria should you base your choices? Here are some recommendations to help you with these questions.

FOR EACH SIZE ITS USE

Bath linens are a large family composed of multiple products, with different names and shapes. It is therefore sometimes difficult to find your way between towels, sheets and other rugs. In order to help you, we have prepared a few summary points that we hope will guide you in your purchases.

Guest towel, towel, bath towel, bath sheet

SHEETS AND TOWELS

There are several sizes of towels and bath sheets. Each of these sizes is associated with a specific use. Multiple sizes that can meet the desires of everyone, especially in terms of comfort.

Contrary to what it implies, the guest towel is not reserved for guests. It is, instead, the small towel (40x60 cm) delicately placed on the edge or near the sink, to dry your hands. Soft and absorbent, it offers a lot of elegance to the room.

Slightly larger (60x100 cm), the towel has several uses and carefully wipes the hands, face or hair. A versatility that makes it an essential and a must-have in the bathroom.

The shower sheet has the double capacity to dry while enveloping perfectly the body at the exit of the shower. Covering thanks to its larger dimensions (70x140 cm), the shower sheet remains a relatively light piece, easy to carry.

Ode to softness and comfort, the bath sheet is the largest towel you can find (100x160 cm). Generally appreciated by older people for its imposing dimensions, it is above all very pleasant and allows you to curl up in thicker linen, with real absorption.

At Alexandre Turpault, we offer all of these items as well as face squares in a 30x30 cm format. More common in hotels, this high-end item is nevertheless easily integrated into our interiors.

BATH MAT AND WASHCLOTH

Bath mats and other washcloths don't really need to be introduced anymore as their use has become commonplace. Practical, these elements can also be decorative and participate in the enhancement of the bathroom.

Because it protects the floor from splashes and saves you from possible falls, the bath mat is an essential to ensure your daily safety. At Alexandre Turpault, we offer only one size of bath mat (60x90 cm). Large dimensions that blend in with all surfaces, whether you have a shower or a bathtub.

Used to rub yourself during the shower or to sponge yourself before drying, washcloths are those nomadic pieces that coordinate with the bathroom design. On the site, you will find several shades of our Essential model, available in standard size of 16x21 cm.

THE BATHROBE

Pure invitation to the moments of cocooning and well-being, the bathrobes allow you to stay warm after the bath and dry the body with efficiency. Comfortable and silky, they have the power to maintain the feeling of serenity provided by the shower.

To find your comfort in your bathrobe, do not forget that your accessory must be the right size. On the site, we offer for all our models several sizes ranging from S to XL. Choose the size that corresponds to what you are used to wearing. Our bathrobes are not only pleasant to wear, they become a second skin that adapts to you and your every move.

A COTTON BATH TOWEL, FOR COMFORT AND DURABILITY

The bathroom linen is declined in many materials. Bamboo, viscose, linen or even microfiber, it is sometimes difficult to understand what suits us best. At Alexandre Turpault we have chosen cotton, a material known for its incomparable characteristics, its softness and its high absorption capacities.

Easy to care for, our terrycloth products nevertheless require the respect of a few rules to be effectively cleaned and maintained on a daily basis. Find them in our article dedicated to the cleaning of bath linen.

WHAT WEIGHT FOR TOWELS, SHOWER SHEETS AND BATHROBES ?

Size and material, we have reviewed two of the main criteria of choice for the bath linen. There is one last element, too often forgotten: the weight. This expresses the density of fibers present in the material. In other words, it is the weight of the fabric, expressed per square meter. What is important to remember? A high grammage guarantees absorption and comfort of the bath linen.

Many of our bath products are available in weights between 450 g/m² and 700 g/m². Driven by a desire to wrap you in softness, we have developed quality products with great practicality. Thus, our towels, sheets and washcloths are available in 650 g/m² while our bath mats are in 1200 g/m².

Designed to be lighter and more comfortable to wear in all circumstances, our Ess-cale and Ess-kimo bathrobes are both presented in 400 g/m². Less heavy, they are no less absorbent. Ideal for drying yourself naturally after a bath.

A PRACTICAL LINEN CAN ALSO BE ELEGANT

As a daily companion, the bath linen is also a decorative element that gives relief and character to a bathroom. In this sense, it seemed natural to us to design towels and other washcloths that would allow you to succumb to all your desires.
