The Space-Saving Towel Folding Method To Try In Your Bathroom

Organizing towels is a pretty straightforward task, but it can be a struggle when you have to make those thick, large cloths fit into limited cabinet space. One careless pull from someone in a hurry can leave an entire stack of towels unfolded on the floor in disarray. To prevent this from happening again and again, try to roll and tuck your towels. Whether you store them in a cabinet, linen closet, or out in the open, your towels will stay compact, neat, and easy to grab.

Gather your towels, take a deep breath, and learn how to properly fold them one step at a time. First, fold your towel in half. Next, grab two diagonal corners (one from the top left, one from the bottom right) and then fold them into the center, slightly overlapping each other. Afterwards, grab the towel from the middle with the overlapped corners facing you, then lift and fold it upward. With the bottom half facing downward, start rolling the towel up until you reach the top portion. Grab the triangle sticking out and fold into the pocket the middle part has created. You now have a neatly tucked, rolled towel that you can easily store in your bathroom.

You've probably seen the popular travel hack where you roll your clothes to fit more stuff in your travel suitcase. This towel hack works with the same logic: rolling compresses the fabric and maximizes space through its compact shape.  

Apart from its space-saving perk, tucked towels are much easier to handle. Restacking can now be a breeze — you can easily store freshly cleaned bathroom towels in baskets, on shelves, or elegantly displayed in your bathroom. Moreover, the next time you decide to organize your linen closet, these rolled towels won't budge and you don't have to worry about the whole pile tumbling down on your floor again. They also save time, allowing you to quickly grab what you need,  rather than lifting a pile with one hand, pulling a towel with the other, then trying in vain to get the pile back to a nice, neat stack. 

Practicality aside, rolling towels can add a touch of elegance to your bathroom as it is widely practiced in hotels, spas, and other hospitality establishments. Apart from reducing your mental load, rolling and tucking your towels can allow you to enjoy a tidier and more sophisticated space.
