There are numerous ways to hang them — from a simple wall hook to stylish towel bars and rings that come in various shapes, sizes and materials. Keep your bathroom neat and your hand towels always on hand with the following folding and hanging methods.
Use a Wall-Mounted Towel Ring
A towel ring is a good choice for a small bathroom or powder room as it doesn’t take up much space. If you have a double vanity and space permits, hang a towel ring on each side.
Hang It On a Towel Bar
Towel bars come with a single or double rod, in various lengths and sometimes have a shelf on top to store extra towels. You can use the above folding and hanging method for the towel bar as well, or use the following.
Use a Towel Hook
A towel hook will take up the least amount of space out of all the towel hanging options, so if you’re working with a tiny powder room, this is the way to go. There are single and double towel hooks if you need to hang more than one towel, but for a single towel hook, here’s how to hang a hand towel so it looks nice.
Double Up On the Towels
For a more formal look or in your guest bathroom, double up on towels for a dressier feel. Either layer a hand towel over a bath towel or a wash cloth over a hand towel for a plush, layered effect. Use a coordinating towel set for an elegant, put-together look or pair towels with contrasting colors and patterns together for a fun look.
For a Towel Ring
Fold the hand towel using one of the methods described above and loop it through the towel ring. Take a wash cloth and fold it in the same way you did the hand towel, then loop it through the ring and layer it over the hand towel. This would look particularly nice with a monogrammed or decorative wash cloth.
For a Towel Bar
For a towel bar, you have two options. If you have one or two bath towels draped over the towel bar, you can hang your folded hand towel over each of the bath towels, with the decorative side or end of the hand towel displayed in the front. If it’s a smaller towel bar that’s being used for hand towels only, hang your folded hand towels on it, then layer wash cloths folded in the same way over the hand towels.
