Fingertip Towels

In essence, fingertip towels are small towels used to dry the hand after washing, whether in the kitchen or in the bathroom. They are often used in place of a hand towel as they are less bulky and look more delicate and inviting to use. Typically rectangular, they are small enough to be draped over a set of towels when displayed on a rack or can be hung separately on a small towel rack or ring next to the sink. They are often used so that guests will use them in lieu of drying their hands on shower towels.

Fingertip towels should match the bathroom decor perfectly. Just because they aren't used often doesn't mean they shouldn't complement the bath accents and other linens found in the bathroom. For a nautical-themed bathroom, opt for towels from Avanti. Transform one's bathroom into an island getaway. With shells and starfish designs, guests will feel they have escaped to their own private island.

After choosing one's towel, find a shower curtain that matches the colors and tone one is seeking. If towels already use a print, maybe opt for a solid color that complements their look. Always buy a shower liner with a curtain to keep mold at bay. It will also prolong the use of the curtain. Match the bath rugs to the towels, too. Everything in a bathroom should look uniform, while still being functional for guests. Finish the shower off with the proper bath mat.

Fingertip towels can also be used in the kitchen. Whether to dry one's hands after dishes or just to wipe them off in between chopping sessions, they should match the decor of a kitchen. For holidays, fun, holiday-inspired ones may be placed around the home for added festive cheer. Take time to peruse the fingertip towels options for any room in the home at Macy's.
