Believe it or not, the humble mushroom has been making quite a splash on the home decor front – in pillows, patterns, you name it.

We’ve scouted out the best ways for you to get a fab (and subtle) ‘shroomy’ look for your home at any price point - without the nasty fungal connotations…

If you think you don’t love the tea towel yet, just wait until the end of this post (as we attempt to convert you).

(1) The tea towel is essentially the only artwork in your house that you can actually use on a daily basis. And when you’re not drying? Hang it on a hook, fold it on a rack, even frame it on your wall – instant and effortless style is yours in no time.

(2) A tea towel is a versatile item that can suit any and every personality type and decor. Have a classic kitchen? No, problem – check out the black and white pieces from Ferm Living. Want to add some spunk to your dull kitchen? Check out the delightfully irreverent selection at BlueQ or the witty towels at ToDryFor.com.

(3) But, the most important reason to invest in a tea towel or two? You should never pay more than $20 for one. That’s right – for less than 20 bucks a fabbity, colorful, fun tea towel is all yours. So what are you waiting for?
