Folding towels

Whether you simply fold your towels or shape them into rolls is down to personal preference. Rolled towels are decorative, compact and save space in a cupboard, drawer or on a bathroom shelf. Folded towels save space, but they can also slip and spoil the arrangement when you pull them out.

Spread the towel out on a flat surface. Fold one corner of the short side diagonally onto the long side to make a triangle. Then fold the towel in half lengthways and turn it over. Roll it from the underside towards the tip of the triangle. Finish by tucking this into the side of the roll to stop the towel unrolling.

To fold large towels, we recommend you start by folding one edge of the towel towards the other edge. Then, while folding the bottom and top sides towards the centre, fold the right and left sides in just before the centre. Finally, fold the towel on itself along the gap.
