First of all, neatly folded towels are visually calming, so you won\u2019t get overwhelmed every time you open your linen closet, notes Thompson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCategorized and well-folded towels make them easy to grab depending on the occasion, whether you\u2019re replacing the hand towel in the guest bathroom, need a washcloth for an at-home spa night, or want to grab a beach towel for the pool or picnic,\u201d she says. \u201cHaving them neatly folded and organized saves the most precious commodity of all\u2014your time!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
