If your bathroom is feeling more functional than fabulous, it might be time for a soft reset. No, I don’t mean vinyl floor stickers or pulling out any labour-intensive DIY. Sometimes, all you need to complete a look is a bold pattern or the right pop of colour. These small changes can transform a basic bathroom into something truly exceptional. Marimekko’s latest home pieces make it easy too. Think elevated, design-led staples that bring both personality and calm.
Stripes, But Make Them Chic
The Raide print collection is your new bathroom hero. The towels are made of cotton terry, which contains 65% organic cotton and 35% recycled cotton, and boast a beautiful, bold, warm Sahram Yellow.
Stripes have always been a staple for Marimekko, and railroad tracks inspired Raide’s print, which was created by Annika Rimala.
The hand towels, guest towels, and oversized bath towels are plush, modern and surprisingly versatile. Perfect if your bathroom’s already rocking a colour or introducing a colour to a minimal aesthetic. And it would be a crime to miss out on the matching bathrobe and slippers.
They’re also made using leftover fabric from Marimekko’s own production, making them a win on the sustainability front as well.
Step Onto Something Better
Your feet deserve better. The Unikko bath mat is thick, soft, and big enough to make a statement. It anchors the room, adds texture, and feels like a tiny luxury every time you step out of the shower. Measuring in at 73cm by 74cm, this is unlike any bath mat you’ve had before.
The iconic Marimekko design Unikko symbolises creativity and was born in a time when hardly any floral designs were included in their collections. Print designer Maija Isola, however, was fascinated by the theme of flowers and decided to create an entire range of novel floral prints.
Available in three colourways: Sage, Cream, and Light Pink.
Bonus: It actually dries quickly and washes well.
Print Is the Point
Want to dial it up a notch? Add a hit of pattern with the Unikko towels in moody blues. The iconic poppy print has been around since the 1960s, but it still feels modern, playful, and cool. Perfect by itself or layered with stripes or a solid colour.
Colourways available are: Pink Powder, Charcoal, Beige, Sky Blue, Sage, and Red.
Even a little guest towel (like this one) folded neatly on the counter can pull the space together.
Small Details, Major Vibes
To finish the look, don’t forget the small stuff. Marimekko offers a range of cosmetic bags in classic prints, available in various sizes and styles. Perfect for storing your skincare or makeup.
Keep your countertop clean and considered with the perfect toothbrush holder, which you can pair with the matching soap dish. Add a bit of polish without trying too hard, and it’s not overly matchy-matchy, thanks to its very subtle design.
