Creative bathroom towel storage ideas for a neat and organised space
If you want to keep your bathroom uncluttered and ensure that it remains a tidy, tranquil space for you to relax in then there are lots of storage options for everything from towels to toiletries.
In this blog we’ll look at some creative storage solutions for towels, so if you want to get inspired with some ideas for your own bathroom, then read to the end for our top tips.
How to keep your towels tidy
Bathroom cabinetry
A key way to create storage space for your towels is to install purpose-built cabinetry – if you have the space and budget to do so. This will not only give you somewhere to keep towels out of the way but can also add further visual interest to your bathroom, as you can choose from floorstanding and wall-mounted units. Different types of finishes are also available, including gloss white, matt black and painted furniture in various colours.
For example, the Hudson Reed Coast Wall-hung Tall Unit features a driftwood open shelf in the centre which is ideal for placing folded towels on. It also comes with upper and lower cupboards with a single shelf inside which are great if you prefer to keep your towels concealed from view. You can also match this gloss grey unit with a vanity from the same range if you want to complete the look.

Vanity units can also incorporate various storage options, so are another way to keep towels hidden out of sight while also adding style and practicality to your bathroom. With both floorstanding and wall-mounted options available, there’s a wealth of choice, so you can choose large or small units according to what you need and the space you have.
The Josef Martin Roxbury Floorstanding Reeded Vanity Unit and Pebble Worktop is a wide vanity unit suitable for use with a countertop basin and features a large drawer perfect for storing towels. An open shelf underneath the drawer, meanwhile, adds a further option for towel storage, if you need extra space or prefer to keep the drawer for other items.
Floating shelves
Fitting some floating shelves onto your walls is a great way to make use of vertical space in your bathroom so you don’t take up any more floor space. It can also provide an additional interesting focal point or feature, while also creating an area where you can store neatly folded towels. Locating the shelves close to your bath, shower or vanity area will also keep them close to hand.
Towel niches
Creating niches or recessed shelves in your walls is another novel way to create storage areas for towels, as you can again use vertical space without needing to add extra furniture to your bathroom. You can locate the niches next to your shower or bath for convenience, using them to keep towels handy or for adding accessories and other items.
Recessed walls or niches are great for creating extra surfaces for storing towels and other bathroom items, as seen in customer Aisling Draine's bathroom, pictured.
Wooden ladders and wicker baskets
Space can also be created for holding towels by introducing accessories such as small stepladders or wicker baskets to your bathroom. These can also add texture and visual interest to your interior, as well as providing great storage options for towels and other items. Towels can be neatly folded and placed upon the steps of the ladder, while they can be hidden inside lidded wicker baskets or placed inside open ones, depending on which style you prefer.
Smaller baskets can also be placed more discreetly out of the way underneath vanity units or on shelves.
Wicker baskets are another way to create storage space for towels and add texture to your bathroom.
Towel hooks, hangers and heated towel rails
Installing towel hooks on the back of your bathroom door or on empty wall space is a simple space-saving solution for hanging towels. Meanwhile, installing a heated towel rail will keep towels out of the way while also ensuring that they stay warm and dry, with towel hangers also ideal for adding onto existing radiators.
The Phoenix Towel Rail in Chrome can be attached to your radiator and used for hanging towels, the polished chrome finish also easily paired with other décor.

The Emerson Heated Towel Rail in Anthracite, meanwhile, is a modern towel rail design which will enhance any bathroom. Ideal for your towels, it comes with generous spacing between the radiator bars to allow for maximum drying.
Available in a variety of finishes this is a great way to add both style and functionality to your interior.
Maximise vanity unit space
Maximising the space under your vanity unit/basin by adding shelves or stackable bins for storing towels is another creative way to add storage, as well as fitting adjustable shelves to accommodate towels of different sizes.
Towel trolleys
A trolley is great for holding towels and other items, adding character to your bathroom while also being movable, with wheels, so you can alter its location within the room. This means you can move the trolley to sit by your bath for handiness or have it against a wall or in the corner – wherever you want it to be at any given time.
Towels can be kept folded neatly on your vanity unit.
