There are a few products that I’m brand loyal to, and Viva® Brand paper towels is one of them. It’s the only type of paper towels you’ll ever see in my home, because after a completely unscientific test, I truly think they’re the best. Whenever I have to use anything else, I literally cringe, because they’re never as soft or absorbent. (I’m seriously a snob when it comes to these paper towels—ask my husband.) And now I have a reason to love them even more, because Viva® Brand teamed up with Hollywood actress and designer, Alyssa Milano to jazz up their plain white paper towels into something a little more couture and stylish for the home.

Y’all, I’m pumped about these new designs, because now I have an excuse to put my favorite paper towels in other rooms of my home. The new line of Alyssa Milano Signature Designs by Viva® Paper Towels feature nine colorful designs so you can coordinate your décor throughout your house—who says paper towels are strictly for the kitchen? Combining high function with high fashion means now you get the best of both worlds.

We’re still working on our bathroom renovation, but I couldn’t resist decorating the completed section even though the rest of the place is still a work in progress.



Can you spot the paper towels in the picture above? I can’t get over how well they work in that space!

My mom always has folded up napkins or paper towels in place of a real towel to dry your hands with in her bathroom, and I’ve always loved that idea, especially for guests. So when I saw this design and color scheme, I knew it would work perfect in our bathroom.



I used to stuff our paper towels down on the bottom shelf in our pantry, but now I have a reason to put them up a little higher—they’re a statement piece, even when they’re being stored. Might as well show them off, right?

We’re also notorious for not having napkins in our house, which is very apparent—and slightly embarrassing when we have people over for dinner. True story: back before my husband and I were married, friends felt sorry for him and brought over a pack of napkins so he’d have at least something to use.

These days (because I can’t be bothered to buy napkins when paper towels will do the same trick), I usually tear off several pieces of our paper towels and put them on the table. I always have a roll on hand, so now they are both functional and pretty!

And before you think I use our Viva® Paper Towels for anything but actual paper towels, don’t worry; there’s always a roll sitting on our counter, but now it just looks extra nice up there.

Not only do I think you should run out and get a pack of these Viva® Signature Design Towels so you can pretty up your home, but if you have dreams of giving your kitchen a makeover, Viva® Brand is currently having a Kitchen Couture Contest. Five people will get $1,000 towards a kitchen reno, and all you have to do is pin items inspired by the new designs. Click here for the official contest rules.

I’d love to hear about how you use paper towels in a non-traditional way.

Do you stick to keeping a roll on the counter, or do you use them to jazz up a room in your home?
