Cotton Lotus
Add some home décor panache with these intricate towel folds for your guest bedroom or bath.
When it comes to home décor, people don't usually think of towels. Generally, towels are folded into squares or rolled up for storage. But towels can also be folded in more interesting shapes, not unlike napkins in a fine restaurant, that will give energy to your home decor. This particular one is called the Cotton Lotus, because of its resemblance to the exotic flower. It is not the easiest of the folds we presented in the past, but it does add panache to your bedroom or bathroom decor, for example on the bed of your guest room, or on a shelf or table in your bathroom. The example uses white towels and a washcloth, but other colors or color combinations, can enhance the appeal of this towel fold and help create an impressive home ambiance.
