Bath towels, beach towels, tea towels, hand towels. If you're not blessed with a linen press then you'll have to deal with towel storage. It almost sounds like an affliction. My remedy? Roll them. On a flat surface, fold them into a nice tidy rectangle and roll tightly from the unfolded end. Pop them into a basket or stack them on a shelf. My tea towels are close at hand in the kitchen, my Olympiad-in-waiting has his pool towels at hand on his bookcase. A nice practical solution and looks great too.
