If you have minimal bathroom vanity space, consider a decorative ladder to hang your towels. Towels of different sizes can be layered on one ladder rung or spread throughout.
Folded Towels on a Vanity Shelf
Decorating a bathroom with towels can be as simple as folding them neatly in small stacks on a shelf. Use simple white towels or a pop of color.
Basket on Floating Shelves
Floating shelves are great for putting towels on display. You can leave a few folded and stacked on their own or place them in an open-facing basket.
Wall-Mounted Shelf With a Built-In Towel Bar
Wall-mounted storage options are endless, especially in bathrooms. To put your favorite towels on display, opt for a shelf that comes with a built-in towel bar.
Rolled Towels in a Basket
Extra towels don't always have to be hidden away in shelves, drawers, or linen closets. You can roll a few neatly into a basket and place them on the bathroom vanity or on an open shelf.
Personalized Bath Towels
Adding a personal touch to your bathroom can be as easy and investing in customized bath towels monogrammed with your initials.
Modern Towel Stands
Rather than using wall-mounted accessories, you can opt for a modern towel stand. They're great for both spacious and small bathrooms. Plus, they can make your bathroom feel more luxurious, almost like you're at a spa.
Monochromatic Color Palette With Matching Towels
If there's one room in the home you want to feel extra comforting, it's the bathroom. To add to the serene atmosphere, match your bathroom towels to the color palette of the space. Keeping the towels in line with the overall color scheme can make the bathroom look more calm and cohesive.
Pop of Color and Pattern With a Striped Towel
If you want to break up a neutral bathroom, consider adding a striped or patterned towel to your towel bar. It's the perfect way to add visual appeal to a bathroom without making major changes to the space, like replacing the tiles, switching out the vanity, or painting the walls.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you display towels in a bathroom?
There are endless ways to hang bathroom towels. You can use towel hooks, towel bars, or towel rings. Herr recommends trying to find unique towel hooks to add more personal touch to your bathroom and to layer hand towels on top of each other instead of only putting one on display.
How do you fold towels for bathroom decor?
There are several ways to fold towels for bathroom decor, but one of the easiest ways is to trifold towels instead of bifolding them. According to Alex Robinson, interior designer at Mackenzie Collier Interiors, it offers a more streamlined look and ensures the least amount of seams showing as possible.
Where do you put hand towels in a modern bathroom?
Depending on how your bathroom is set up, there are a few spots where you can put hand towels in a bathroom. If you have wall hooks, towel bars, or towel rings, they’re perfect for hand towels in use. But if you don’t have either available or if you have a spacious bathroom vanity, you can use a countertop towel stand.
