Open storage is the latest trend in interior design. With stylish displays, coupled with smart storage solutions, modern homes are all about showing off with panache! This cool trend has definitely caught on to modern bathrooms, and there are plenty of lovely towel arrangements on display there. While some owners prefer the neatly folded and rolled look, others go for a more open and casual display style. Often lending a vacation home or luxury hotel vibe, fancy towel displays bring a lot of panache without appearing as if they’re trying too hard.

Elegant display

Many modern bathrooms come with built-in display units. Having plenty of space between folded towels helps design a double floating vanity to create a simple yet effective space-conscious design. Cute little trays, wicker baskets, and alternating open and closed shelves ensure there’s no monotony or a refreshing feel. Tucked-in towels aren’t always the best choice. If you’ve chosen a neutral color scheme for your bathroom, then the best way to brighten it up is by adding a cute accent lampshade over a few deftly folded towels. Matching accessories and decor that obviously help drive the look of the home.

White towels neatly rolled up are obviously a favorite among homeowners when it comes to ushering in an aura of lighthearted luxury retreat style. But always remember that a hint of wood accents or other textured contrasting elements helps add some much-needed warmth. A beautiful woven basket is always better than a boring plastic tub and gives the bathroom a distinct personality.

Cute ladder and stylish rails!

A sleek ladder rack for holding towels in the bathroom is a simple, yet fancy addition to any modern bathroom. Ladder towel racks are the perfect display, the epitome of creative modern minimalism. Just couple it with a simple yet elegant basket and you instantly have an extra storage option as well. The slender ladder form also makes it an ideal fit for small bathrooms with limited space. Requiring little leg room, it brings sophistication without taking up too much space. Also equally attractive and ergonomic are compact wall-mounted racks, known as train tracks.

An open storage will always be visually appealing to the bathroom and also help to give it a more spacious and airy appeal. This allows you to create a display where the colors can change depending on the towels you use and how you place them. Smaller bathrooms benefit greatly from this creation of extra visual space.

Innovative design and space

The first lesson you learn is that vertical space in a modern urban loft is just as important (if not more) than the legroom provided. Take advantage of the bathroom walls to create a beautiful towel rack and display. The fancier designs don’t actually require a lot of space. The beauty and sophistication of a towel rack is often in its arrangement and design, not in the magnitude of the unit. Keep things proportional and employ floating shelves, utilizing a corner above the tub to stack towels in a space-saving manner.
