My first 18 months of hosting saw three sets of white bed linens ruined to the point where they had to be replaced. White just doesn't stay truly 'white' for long!
I decided then to go for coloureds and since then I have not had an issue that I couldn't fix......
I have warm colours.....yellow and brown for the winter time and cool colours Blue and green for the summer time, and not one guest has ever said they would prefer white linens.
My bath towels are all coloured and patterned and once again nobody has ever complained.
I would never go back to whites again, leave that to the hotels......that's why guests come to us hosts, they want something different!
And I try to give it to them!
Cheers.........Rob
