Every so often a brand collaboration comes around that is so charming, so irresistible, it gets our whole team buzzing. There are also few things we’re more passionate about over here than good linens, especially when they marry quality and charm into one sweet design. On our radar right now? The new bath towel collaboration between editor-favorite brand Kassatex and high-end vintage marketplace Chairish.
It may seem like an unexpected pairing, but that’s kind of what we love about this launch. Not only does it involve bath linens from one of our most trusted brands (we even named their bath towels to our Best List), but each piece is also designed with charming scalloped edges and a signature vintage flair that feels right on-brand for Chairish.
“I’m not lying when I say these are the prettiest bath towels I’ve come across, ever,” says Apartment Therapy Style Shopping Editor Blair. “I absolutely love the fun scalloped edges, which basically graduate these to decor level wherever you hang them. You also can’t go wrong with the muted hues and contrasting trim. I’m drawn to the blue and peach as fresh pops of color (or even mixing and matching both together), but the lighter tones feel totally timeless. These are classic, luxe-looking, and can take your bathroom routine to the next level.”
Each of the towels in this collection is made using 100 percent Turkish cotton, with low-twist loops that keep them feeling soft, absorbent, and luxurious. Choose from a selection of unexpected retro-inspired color pairings — like blue and forest green and peach and berry — and personalize each with a monogram if that’s your style. You can cater your buys to exactly what you need to complete your towel collection too, whether that means a slew of hand towels, a few cute new washcloths, or a do-it-all bundle that includes all of the above, plus a full-sized towel. Oh, and there’s a bath mat, too! Seriously, this collection has everything you need to turn your bathroom into the whimsical cottagecore oasis of your dreams.
You can shop the Kassatex x Charish collection on either the Kassatex website or through Charish — though you may be tempted to continue your shopping spree on the vintage site for more cottagecore goodness, so proceed with caution.

Christina Hendricks, who starred in “Mad Men” and “Good Girls,” shared her colorful home in a recent issue of the Property Brothers’ Drew + Jonathan Reveal Magazine. And while all of Hendricks’ spaces represent her style, it’s the vibrant and eclectic dressing room in the attic that reveals the colors she really leans on to bring fun into her interiors.
In the magazine feature, which is also online, Hendricks explains that she went from “romantic and serious” to “romantic and playful” with her palette by adding some yellows and pinks to her mostly neutral-colored home. “I wanted it to be happier and cheerier inside,” she explained in the story.
Yellows and pinks, among other pops of color, shine throughout her attic interior and deliver that “playful” element Hendricks’ was aiming for. The purple velvet couch, the yellow rug that’s layered on top of another, the pale pink flowers that tie into her overhead pink rock light — they all contribute to an overarching joyous sensation.
Nothing really “matches” in Hendricks’ home, but she proves it doesn’t need to. While she tries to buy new pieces that complement her current decor, if she truly loves something, she’ll “find a way to make it work.” And that easily results in adding more color into her spaces, which has occurred over the course of time — reflecting the transformation Hendricks herself has undergone when it comes to her design style.
“When I first bought the home, I painted everything white because I just wanted a neutral palette,” Hendricks recalled in the interview. “I’d never owned a home before. And as the years go by, another room gets wallpapered, another room gets painted.”
While yellows and pinks have become Hendricks’ go-to when it comes to infusing playfulness, it’s different for each person. So moral of the story: explore your relationship with color. It could result in something beautiful for your home.

In LEGO fashion, the storage solutions are stackable — just like their tiny counterparts. So once a LEGO drawer is full, you can simply buy another one and stack that on top to increase capacity.
Made from sustainably sourced red oak instead of plastic, the pieces have a minimalist aesthetic that seems more fitting in a West Elm showroom than on a toy store shelf. The material also serves as a playful nod to the company’s history, as the first LEGO blocks were made of wood.
According to Room Copenhagen CEO Jacob Eberhard, the idea for the collection came about after years of the company creating LEGO-inspired furniture for children.
“Room Copenhagen is well versed in creating and producing upscaled LEGO bricks for children’s storage and organization in the home and this launch takes our collaboration with the LEGO Group to the next level, in terms of expanding the product line to target adults,” he said in a press release. “We trialed it with the launch of the LEGO Originals Wooden Minifigure and the success of that product inspired us to bring out an entire range in the same material.”
Best of all? You’ll never step on them and hurt your foot.
The LEGO x Room Copenhagen collection is now available at LEGO’s online shop and Room Copenhagen’s website.
