Cute And Colourful Tea Towels.

I love a good tea towel. They’re such a cheap and cheerful way to brighten up a kitchen and they make a wonderful housewarming gift.

There are so many fantastic designs out there that I thought I’d collect together some of my favourites to share with you. Not only are they practical but they can also really help add a pop of colour to a room.

And don’t worry if you find one that is way too cute to actually use I have a whole blog post showing 25 Things To Make With Tea Towels. You can frame them, hang them (using one of these tea towel frame hangers) turn them into cushions or bags or even aprons. How clever is that?

The Best Pretty Tea Towels To Buy Right Now.

I’ve tried to include some from independent designers as well as store-bought so make sure to check them all out. There are some wildflower florals, vintage-inspired designs and some cute modern patterns and quotes.

If you’re really looking for a unique tea towel try your local charity shop or thrift store for some second-hand gems. And don’t forget to check out Etsy for an amazing vintage find.

I’ve got my eye on the feel-good motivational quote design. I think it would look fantastic framed and hanging on the dining room wall. And don’t forget you can buy a whole bunch and switch them out to create a whole new look whenever you like. They’re a great way to add some personality to a room.
