Mazzie, colours are really seasonal and it can be hard if you don't want to follow this years "trend".

Exactly what stuff do you mean - towels, bath mats etc? If so maybe you could stick with white towels/handtowels but sew some of that decorative ribbon near the edges.

Ummmm, Bed, Bath and Table, Ikea, Howards Storage World. I know I've seen some bright funky bathroom accessories but for the LIFE of me can't think where. It's going to drive me nuts all day now.
