Create A Decorative Kitchen Towel Storage Solution On A Thrift Store Budget

Tea and dish towels can easily overwhelm a drawer and become a big mess, but with a simple bowl, you can ensure they stay out of the way yet easy to reach. Large, decorative bowls are common thrift store items that double as a smart kitchen towel storage solution and will sit conveniently on your counter. There are typically lots of ceramic, metal, glass, or other stylish dishes at discount stores that could elevate the look and organization of your space and match different aesthetics. Repurposing a bowl you already own is perfect for this hack, though you'll want a dish that's cute and fits well on your countertop.

If you can't find a dish that matches the aesthetic of your kitchen, thrifted baskets or other decorative containers like bins will also work well for this easy storage hack. For folks that still want to keep their towels out of the way, setting your bowl or basket in a drawer or cabinet is a great way to keep them sorted and add a little decoration inside your cupboards. If you're sick of kitchen towel clutter, this storage trick keeps them neat and saves space as well as adds a little budget-friendly decor to your kitchen.

Once you've chosen a cute bowl that complements the style of your kitchen, the way you sort and fold your cloths is the space-saving secret for storing kitchen towels. When setting your towel storage on your countertop, you'll want the rags inside to look pretty and organized. By rolling each towel and placing them upright in the bowl, you can create an adorable bouquet of tea towels that adds a pop of texture to your kitchen.

If you're trying to be more sustainable, a kitchen towel bowl can replace the paper towels on your counter for hand drying and cleaning up messes. Neatly folding the towels and placing them upright beside each other is another cute way to display them when you're using a basket rather than a bowl. Depending on the shape of your bowl or container, fold or roll your towels in a way that allows you to fit a lot of them in your storage solution. While a dish is great for storing your extra, clean kitchen towels, you'll still need a spot to hang cloths that are damp and dirty from being used.
