10 Smart Ways to Store Your Bathroom Towels
Every bathroom needs towels – sometimes lots of them – but what’s the best way to keep them looking neat and organised?
While we give lots of thought to the suite and tiling when kitting out a bathroom, it’s easy to overlook the towels. Where will we store them? Do we have space? Towels can actually make quite an impact on the overall feel of a bathroom. Neatly stacked ones add a boutique hotel feel, while a messy pile of them on the floor will tip your room towards student rather than sophisticated. Storage is essential to prevent these workhorses of the bathroom from becoming an eyesore. From the classic ladder radiator to the humble hook, here’s a roundup of the best options.

Drape over the bath
When used and then slung over the bath, towels look scruffy, but crisply folded and draped neatly over its side they appear ordered and appealing.
