The Clever Towel Folding Trick That'll Add Some Style To Your Bathroom

A stylish bathroom can significantly contribute to a relaxed and enjoyable shower or bath routine. While you can achieve this with pretty fixtures, artistic tiles, and contemporary lighting, there are also budget-friendly bathroom upgrades you can complete in a weekend. Something as simple as how you fold and display your towels can make a big difference aesthetically. All you need to do is invest a bit of time to learn a unique folding technique, and you'll turn a plain bathroom into a stylish one in no time. To start you off, try a towel folding trick we'd like to call the fan-in-pointed-pocket fold. It's perfect for beautifully displaying your luxury bath linens on a rack.

This folding trick requires two towels of varied sizes — preferably a bath towel and a hand towel or washcloth. The towels can be of the same color, but having contrasting colors (a light hue and a darker hue) will make the folds stand out. Beyond the aesthetics, this fan-in-pointed-pocket fold is a great tip to help keep your bathroom clutter-free. Having a bath towel and washcloth folded together in one place makes it easier to access them. You don't have to dig through the linen closet or bathroom drawers for what you need. It's especially nice to fold the towels you're laying out for guests.

Knowing how to properly fold a bath towel using this technique is a bathroom design game changer. Lay a rectangular bath towel on a flat surface — the shorter edge should be closest to you. Fold one quarter of the lower edge of the towel under itself. Bring the new bottom corners formed on the creased edge of the towel up to the lower center to create a triangle. Your towel should now look like an arrow pointing toward you. Fold the right and left sides of the towel into thirds so they overlap in the middle. Flip the whole thing over. You now have a thin arrow-shaped towel with a pocket.

To fold the hand towel or washcloth, lay it down flat and fold it diagonally by bringing two opposite ends together to form a triangle. Make tiny folds (each about 1 inch wide) along the creased edge to create a fan. Pick up the towel at one end, squeezing it from both sides to maintain the folds, and slip it into the pocket in the folded bath towel. The pointy end of the fanned hand towel or washcloth should stick upwards and be visible. Hang the top of the bath towel over the rack in your bathroom; the hand towel or washcloth should face outward, not toward the wall. Alternatively, you can place this beautiful towel fold on your guest bed to impress your visitor the minute they step into their bedroom.
