Many homeowners know the struggle of trying to keep bathroom towels stored and organized in a way that's easy to use and isn't too bulky. If every laundry day is a game of Tetris, or if your towels are constantly falling off into a messy pile, it might be time to retire your towel rack. Lucky for you, there's a simple solution from Amazon that can fit twice the amount of towels as your old one. 

This is the pack of SNSLXH Plastic Closet Organizers. These are five separate plastic storage boxes that stack on top of each other to help keep your stuff organized, with each being about 7 inches tall, 13 inches wide, and 17 inches long. When stacked in a single pile of five, they create an over 35-inch-tall tower, though you can break them up however you like, whether that be two on one side, three on the other, or two-two-one — whatever works best in your space.

The great thing about this solution is that, even when stacked, you can still pull some of the baskets out towards you as if they were a drawer. It's worth noting that a few negative reviews mention the "drawer" functionality as being awkward and not working as it should, though the item has an overall good rating of 4.5 stars on Amazon. It seems like this issue is more common with the boxes at the bottom, where the upper boxes and their contents weigh down on the drawer. This is something to keep in mind, but it's less of a concern with towels than clothes, since you're usually able to pull out whichever one is on top rather than having to dig through piles as you would when putting an outfit together. 

To save space with this towel storage solution, you have a few placement options. One is to place the boxes on the floor as a single tower of stacked baskets. This setup is perfect wherever floor space is limited and you need extra storage for your towels, whether it's directly in the bathroom, in a closet, or in a laundry room. Another option is to break them up into stacks of two or three baskets, which can then go onto a laundry machine, on a shelf, or on a counter. And finally, you can also place a few of these inside of a cabinet if there is enough room for it.

If you have many different towels to store, this organizer lets you sort them into sections and make organizing easier. Simply separate the towels by size or purpose: bath towels, hair towels, face towels, hand towels, floor mats — you name it. Keep each category in their own plastic baskets, and you'll never have to go digging for the perfect towel ever again. To make it even easier for yourself and your family to keep this kind of organization system in place, use a label maker and print small stickers for the front of the baskets. 

If you don't have that many towels and don't need the full five-level stack, then you can use the extra baskets in other rooms of your home to keep items organized. This is great for clothes in a room or closet, non-perishables in a pantry or kitchen, and sheets and cleaning supplies in a laundry room.
