The thoughtful hostess, ever mindful of the myriad details that contribute to a guest’s comfort and well-being, understands that even the humblest of household items, when arranged with care, can convey a sense of welcome and refinement. The guest towel, though perhaps easily overlooked, presents just such an opportunity for subtle elegance.
A simple stack of towels, while undoubtedly practical, lacks a certain air of sophistication. One can envision, for instance, the unfortunate guest forced to extract a towel from the bottom of a precariously balanced pile, only to send the entire edifice tumbling to the floor. Such a mishap, however amusing in retrospect, does little to inspire a sense of tranquility and repose.
How then, one might ask, does the discerning hostess elevate the presentation of guest towels from the merely adequate to the truly impressive? The answer, dear reader, lies in the artful application of a few simple folds.
A towel, when folded lengthwise and then in half once more, assumes a pleasing rectangular shape, ideal for placement upon a shelf or tucked within a basket. For a touch of visual interest, the towel may be folded a third time, creating a compact square well-suited for display within a drawer or upon a vanity.
Should one wish to achieve a more elaborate effect, the towel may be rolled rather than folded, transforming it into a graceful cylinder reminiscent of a Roman column. Such rolls, when arranged within a basket or upon a tiered stand, lend an air of understated luxury to the guest chamber.
