Most people I’ve come across focus on keeping their clothes neat in drawers and failed to forget folding their dish towel drawers. 

In just a few easy steps, you can turn your dishtowel drawer from drab to fab! After-all, that drawer needs love too. Let me help you!

First, let’s talk about the concept & implementing a color system to give you that wow factor! 

The concept: The dish towels being upright allows you to see everything in a single look. Color code from light to dark for a drawer of organizational perfection. 

The Color System: This WOW factor color mode method is called the Roy G Biv. Try to remember the name of an imaginary person called Roy G. Biv.

The letters in this name correspond to the order of the colors of the rainbow. 

The letters break down like this:

  • R stands for Red

  • O stands for Orange

  • Y stands for Yellow

  • G stands for Green

  • B stands for Blue

  • I stands for Indigo

  • V stands for Violet

This will be the Color scheme and the order you will follow when you place your towels in the drawer. Just FYI: If you don’t have a particular color, go to the next color, all other colors not listed if their darker like grays, browns and blacks they go behind violet. Any white towels it would go before Red! 

Now that all that is covered, let’s get you started my friend. Follow these steps!

  1. Fold the towel the long way, so it looks like a long rectangle. 

  2. Next, fold it the short way (so that the rectangle is half as long now). 

  3. Then, fold the towel into thirds.

  4. Do a stand test to make sure the towel can stand on its own. 

  5. Fold all the remaining towels the same way.

  6. Stand all your neatly folded towels up in your drawer.

  7. You’ll be delighted how easy it is to just grab & go!

  8. Just Repeat each time you run low & keep it stocked!

 Try it and see how it works for you, just another tip to get you all organized!
