Nice Ways to Display Your Bath Towels

Towel Rack

• One of the most common ways to display bath towels is to hang them on a decorative towel rack. Towel racks are available in a variety of designs and materials, so you can find one that fits the rest of the décor in the bathroom. If the length of your rack allows, place several towels side by side to display different colors or styles, or place a single towel on the rack and leave it unfolded so all of its details are visible.

Hooks

• For a more casual look, install decorative hooks on your bathroom wall to hang your towels. Hooks allow you to display multiple towels at a time so you can use several different colors to brighten the space. It also is a good system for keeping towels that are in use out of the way.

Open Shelving

• If you have a large collection of towels to display, open shelving may be your best option. Fold and stack the towels in neat rows and place them on the shelves. Choose from a variety of shelving styles depending on the space available in your bathroom. A free-standing wood or aluminum unit can provide a floor-to-ceiling towel display, while wall-mounted shelves are a good fit if you do not have the floor space for a larger unit. When placing towels on shelves, mix up the colors and patterns to give your display more visual interest.

Basket

• If you prefer the look of rolled towels over folded, add a wicker basket to your bathroom to display your towels. Baskets come in a variety of sizes and colors to coordinate with the rest of your bathroom's decor, and can be placed on the floor or countertop. For added decorative interest, tie ribbons around the towels to help them maintain their rolled shape. Fold a couple of wash cloths or hand towels into decorative shapes and place them on top of the larger rolled towels in the basket.

Pedestal

• For showing off towels that have been folded into decorative shapes, wall-mounted pedestals offer an ideal display option. They are available in a variety of designs and may be painted to match the rest of the bathroom. Hang a single pedestal on the wall or create an arrangement with several. Fold your towels into interesting shapes, like animals or flowers, and place one on each pedestal. Your guests will immediately notice your handiwork.
