To fold a bath towel neatly over a towel bar, fold it once width-wise, then fold it lengthwise if needed, so that a folded edge hangs on one side and loose ends hang on the other.
Here's a breakdown for achieving a tidy look:
-
Step 1: Width-wise Fold: Lay the bath towel flat. Fold it in half width-wise (short side to short side). This creates a long, narrower shape.
-
Step 2: Lengthwise Fold (If Necessary): Bath towels can be quite large. Depending on the length of your towel bar and the desired aesthetic, you might need to fold the towel again lengthwise (long side to long side). This will typically involve folding it in half again. Consider how much you want the towel to hang down.
-
Step 3: Drape over the Bar: Drape the folded towel over the towel bar. The key is to arrange the towel so that one side hanging down is a folded edge (giving a clean appearance), while the other side has the loose ends. This is the most common and visually appealing way to display a towel.
This method ensures a balanced look and prevents the towel from dragging on the floor, depending on the bar's height. You might adjust the lengthwise fold depending on the size of your towels and the towel bar.
