If your bathroom feels cluttered and messy, a good place to start is by looking at your towels. Quickly folded on laundry day, piled up on a shelf or in a cabinet, and forgotten about until their next use. Over time, you start shoving towels on top of each other, only to topple the whole pile when you reach for the one you need. This is because you don't have a dedicated towel organization system to keep them neat and tidy. Don't worry, there's an easy solution that's perfect for keeping your towels in order: a simple towel organizer that fits onto a shelf or in a cabinet, where you can store rolled-up towels vertically on top of each other.

This solution works great, even if you don't know how to fold a bath towel properly. In addition to being convenient and easy, spa rolls (this is sometimes what they are called) look and feel luxurious. They're less messy because the rolls have a uniform appearance, which makes your towel closet look coherent and neat. Once rolled up, the towels can nicely fit into this Yamazaki interlocking towel organizer. The set of two costs about $48 and comes in white or black.

While there are tons of types of rolled towel racks available, many are typically meant to be attached to the wall, like this Roeveca wall-mounted towel rack. While this is both convenient and effective, it takes up some wall space that you might not have. If you're on a budget, consider some DIY towel storage solutions instead, which can help keep your bathroom organized without requiring new purchases.

This solution has the benefit of being highly customizable. The racks are interlocking, so you can purchase as many units as you'd like to add more width to the organizer and help store more towels. The original set comes with two organizers, which should let you store between four and six rolled-up towels, depending on size.

Each slot measures 11.5 inches in height and is about 5.75 inches deep, allowing them to fit nicely in several spots in your bathroom. For example, you can place these organizers in a bottom cabinet under the sink. You can also place them in upper cabinets, as long as there is enough height between shelves for them. Because of their sleek designs, these organizing racks don't add to the visual clutter. This gives you the option of leaving them out in the open, instead of hiding them in a cabinet. The organizing units can fit beautifully on open shelving, as well as floating shelves. You can pair them up with IKEA shelving hacks for even more storage, or next to some scented candles to fully mimic the spa aesthetic.

And that's not all, you can also use these organizers for other bathroom items, like toilet paper rolls. Outside of the bathroom, they can be used in a bedroom closet to keep purses organized, and in the kitchen, they can work wonders to store rolls of paper towels or water bottles.
