common spot to keep paper towels for quick cleanups. But bulky rolls on the counter or crammed in cabinets create clutter. Use these tips to neatly tuck away your towel supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_Drawers\"><\/span>In Drawers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Kitchen drawers often go underutilized. Take advantage of this wasted space by storing paper towels inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Keeps paper towels concealed but easily accessible<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allows you to grab one towel at a time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leaves countertops clutter-free<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Roll towels vertically and stand them upright in a drawer. Place a removable tray or bin inside to neatly corral the rolls. Labeling the bin makes it clear this is the <a href=\"https:\/\/towelsedition.com\/paper-towel-vs-toilet-paper\/\">paper towel<\/a> drawer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a compact drawer, lay towels horizontally stacked. Just make sure to roll towels back up to prevent wrinkling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inside_Cabinets\"><\/span>Inside Cabinets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to keep paper towels handy in the kitchen is inside a cabinet. This clears off the countertop while still keeping them within reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ways to store paper towels in cabinets:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Stand rolls vertically in a corner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hang rolls using tension rods or spring-loaded shower caddies inside cabinet doors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place rolls in lined up bins or baskets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Install slide-out trays or roll holders to dispense towels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to choose lower cabinets closer to sinks and prep areas for the most convenient access. Add labels to designate the paper towel cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"On_Shelves\"><\/span>On Shelves<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For open shelving, neatly aligning <a href=\"https:\/\/towelsedition.com\/what-are-paper-towels-definition\/\">paper towel rolls<\/a> works well. Keep extras underneath commonly used items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tips for organizing paper towels on shelves:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Group similar items together &#8211; paper towels rolls beside napkins and <a href=\"https:\/\/towelsedition.com\/what-is-a-paper-towel\/\">cleaning rags<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Arrange by roll size with larger on bottom and smaller rolls on top<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Store upright with loose end facing outward for easy grabbing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contain smaller rolls in labeled bins or baskets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add shelf dividers for a neater appearance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Aim for shelves nearer to where you use paper towels most, like by the stove or sink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mounted_and_Wall-Mounted_Holders\"><\/span>Mounted and Wall-Mounted Holders<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Floor-standing and wall-mounted paper towel holders free up shelf and cabinet space. Look for holders with a weighted base or choose wall-mounted racks with high capacity to minimize refilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Place holders near prep areas or sinks for a handy paper towel station. Just beware of potential fire hazards near stoves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Key Takeaway:<\/strong> Store paper towels in existing kitchen cabinets, drawers, or shelves to keep them accessible yet out of sight.
