Color In the Kitchen: Store Tea Towels in a Basket

We like this simple storage idea from a recent house tour: store your tea towels out in the kitchen, rolled up in a wire basket. We love pretty, colorful tea towels, but since we can't have them all out at once, they are tucked away in a drawer. Putting them out on display keeps their color in the kitchen all the time. Read on for another photo of this bright kitchen and teatowels.

Pretty, right?

Plus, this frees up a drawer or a pantry shelf that would otherwise be holding towels.

Where do you store your kitchen towels?

Too far away from the sink for me, and too big a footprint for too few items.

I'd like to know where to get MORE of those baskets, I have quite a few of the exact same design (various shapes & sizes), I bought mine at Pier One probably 8-10 years ago.

love the basket idea for the kithen things look organized if you don't clutter things at one corner unless you have a big kitchen with lots of storing space i.e. cabinets / drawers for keeping kitchen items.
