Roll Your Towels Instead of Folding them to Save Space and De-Clutter Your Linen Closet [Household]

One trick that hotels and resorts (and likely many of you) have been doing for years to save space on towels and washcloths is to roll them tightly into tubes for storage instead of folding them flat. Folding them requires much more space than a rolled up towel, and can be stashed in an out of the way basket or drawer, instead of consuming a whole shelf in a linen closet.

If you've ever had to live in a space where storage is at a premium, you quickly learn that even the space required for your essentials can be minimized. Instead of folding your towels and washcloths into flat squares like you find at the bath and linen store, roll them up into spa-style tubes when you wash them next. They'll need much less floor or shelf space, and they'll stack just as tall. Stylist notes that you can even stash your rolled-up towels in unorthodox places, like in a pyramid-shape in a basket on the bathroom floor or a re-purposed window-box. Is this something you do already, or do you have a different way to save space on your bathroom linens? Share your suggestions in the comments below.
