10 Towel Display Ideas to Test Around Your Home

Decorative Ladder

In this sleek beach house designed by Desiree Burns Interiors, a decorative black ladder leaned up against the wall next to the bathtub is a creative answer to the question of how to display your towels.

Antique Vanity

In this frilly bathroom from Courtney at French Country Cottage, an antique vanity houses the sink, and serves as open storage for fluffy white towels, stacked on a lower shelf and rolled up and stored in a large basket under the sink. Keeping an abundance of white hotel-style bath towels visible is part of what helps the bathroom's ornate style feeling fresh and practical.

Cubby Holes

In this polished beach house bathroom from Desiree Burns Interiors, built-in cubby holes between the double sinks create a dedicated space to keep fresh rolled up towels at the ready.

Open Laundry Room Shelving

In this laundry room designed by Cathie Hong Interiors, thick warm wood floating shelves are installed above the washer and dryer, creating a space to store grab-and-go stacks of towels alongside decorative objects, plants, and laundry accoutrements.

Rustic Stool

In this creative LA bathroom, Sara Toufali of Black and Blooms stores rolled up Turkish bath towels on the bottom shelf of a rustic stool next to the tub alongside candles, incense, sage, a salt lamp, and crystals—a vignette.

Ladder + Basket

In this modern farmhouse bathroom from Jenna Sue Design, a simple ladder-shaped wooden storage unit over the toilet has room for a hanging towel and a wire basket suspended with rolled up spare hand towels.

Minimalist

This clean, soothing bathroom designed by OreStudios is a minimalist dream in shades of white and cream. A small rustic wooden stool is placed just out of reach of the shower spray in this spacious walk-in and has room for just one or two towels, neatly folded and ready for use.

Pool House

In this cabana pool house from Christina Kim Interior Design, pretty cream and salmon-colored striped towels are neatly and stylishly stored alongside other essentials and decorative items in built-in shelves. Rolling spare towels and stacking them in pyramids of three adds a pleasing decorative touch.

Hallway Guest Corner

Ursula from Home Made By Carmona created "a place my overnight guests can easily find all they need to feel at home" in an upstairs hallway, including a repurposed hand-me-down repainted bookshelf stocked with essentials including stacks of clean, fluffy folded bath towels and rolled washcloths and hand towels stored in baskets.

While Ursula says she usually leaves towels out on the guest bed when it's just one or two guests, hosting larger groups is easier when they have their own supply center. "Keeping a shelf with all my guest items in one central location has made life easier for me as well as my guests," she writes on her blog. "Now 10 different people don’t have to seek me out when they need something, and no one has to suffer embarrassment requesting the more personal items that may be needed."

Ladder, Stool, and Hooks

This spacious bathroom designed by Cathie Hong Interiors has layered towel-display and storage options that include a leaning ladder, a wooden stool, and nearby towel hooks that look just as good empty, ready, and waiting for use as they do strung with linens.
