Who doesn’t love to mix and match??
There are some areas where if you don’t have a base pallet things can tend to look out of control .These are just a few examples where basics win!
Printed & Colored Towels

Senario -Your shopping and you see these awesome orange towels you just have to have!
Wonderful……..but don’t buy 10 buy 1 or 2. It’s great to have the color pop on your towel rack, but the truth of the matter in the long run you will most likely not be able to match these and many people end up buying a whole new set of towels when some fade or get ruined. White towels are the bomb, let me tell you why! No matter what, you will be able to find towels that match!!! Sometimes just texture can throw colored towels off, with white they still blend. They can be embroidered, or thick or thin they will always pull together. A long time ago I was given this tip, now over the years, I have about 2 towels out of several white sets left,but no reason to get new ones.
******Spa rolling your towels instead of folding is more please to the eye, it hides size inconsistencies as well, and takes up less space.
White/Clear Dishes and Glasses
Senario- It’s almost Christmas and the plates have little snowmen on them!!!
It’s good to invest in a set of plain white dishes and serving ware .Clear glasses are also great. Trends come and go but these remain tried and true. Instead dress your table up with seasonal placemats, napkins, maybe a live arrangement. So forget the $30 snowman platter, and use redberry napkin rings and add a few pinecones for next to nothing!
This is just another household item that you can do a color-less mix and match! Think INSIDE the box.

These look like everyday dishes to me!!!! Now where do I get those artichokes?
Color belongs here and there, but not everywhere. Elaborate PLAIN and SIMPLE but intended! Your closets and counters will thank you.
