A Stylish Place for Bath Towels
Easy Bathroom Storage: Keep Some Fluffy Towels in the Open

We all need towel bars or hooks to hang up the bath towels we are using. But where do you put the extra towels? I like displaying them out in the open because towels add texture and warmth to a room and absorb sound. Since baths are by necessity smooth cleanable surfaces, they are hard and cold to the touch. And when there is no fabric to speak of, sound bounces off the surfaces and echoes. Even without these issues, it feels luxurious to have rolls or stacks of clean fluffy towels visible and easy to grab. Here are some creative Houzz solutions to store towels out in the open:
Many bath vanities are designed with storage in mind. The two parts of this floating vanity create the perfect place to store a neat row of towels.
Here's a simple center cubby between two sinks in a minimalist bath.
Multiple cubbies provide plenty of storage space to display towels in this serene bath. The towel bar goes from one end to the other.
When the vanity shelf is large or deep, corral the towels inside a nice square or rectangular basket.
Display decorative objects next to the towels to add interest to your bath. These silver vases provide some subtle bling.
Alternate baskets and stacks of towels.
These shelves flanking the center cabinet look balanced in this Zen inspired bath. The small tray of rolled finger tip towels is a welcoming touch.
Consider building in a towel storage space next to the tub. This clever one on a side shelf is low and accessible to the bather.
Here's anther handy one.
These unique cubbies take advantage of the space on the side of a tile covered tub deck.
Look for unusual storage opportunities. This marble ledge on top of the radiator holds a stack of towels and does double duty as a towel warmer. A larger stack looks inviting on a charming wooden chair.
This square basket is portable and makes an attractive bath accessory.
Design built-in dedicated storage for your towels.
Since open shelves are visible, keep your towels neatly folded and tidy.
My favorite solution is this unique shelf made just for towel rolls. It is similar in design to a wine rack, and it looks like wall art.

Our NYC apartment has, like many do, a built-in clothes hamper. With nary another square inch anywhere else to put the laundry, it is convenient, efficient, and just plain great to have.
Fast forward.... We're updating to a more contemporary look...
And while the original 1950's era units are still available, a modern version seems evasive. I've tried commercial built-in waste containers ( like those in your office building's toilet ) but they're too small, and when larger.. don't have a flap. Some sort of built-in millwork might work were it not for the moisture factor... Custom metal work us way out of our resources ( never mind budget ). So, I'm stumped!
And that's my hope for your next article ( please )
...with much anticipation, many thanks in advance
