Use This Bathroom Staple As A Chic Blanket Storage Solution

No cozy living room is complete without a collection of throw blankets. But while it's great to cuddle up under a soft blanket to watch a movie, what are we to do with the multitude of blankets that seem to quickly pile up on every surface when not in use? Sure, you could buy a giant basket or trunk for storing your cozies, but that requires giving up precious real estate within the room.

Fortunately, TikTok has come to our rescue once more with a chic, modern, and inexpensive solution for blanket storage: towel bars. TikTokker @Kris_Buckhout chronicled her quest for throw blanket storage, depicting her solution of hanging towel bars in a ladder-like configuration on her living room wall. If you'd like to try this storage method for your own blankets, all you'll need is one 24-inch towel bar for every two to three throw blankets (depending on how large your blankets are and how you plan to fold them), a level, a drill, and a screwdriver. 

Creating your own blanket storage solution with towel bars is simple and easy. All you need to do is install two or more towel bars on your wall in a vertical row using the included instructions and hardware. Be sure to leave a couple of feet between each bar to prevent excessive overlapping. While the towel bars featured in @Kris_Buckhout's TikTok video are "under $25 each," you can also find bars for a much lower price.

If you're willing to swap the sophisticated brass finish featured in the video for a modern matte black stainless steel, you can snag some KLJKPA towel bars for just $8.99 each on Amazon. That means nearly double the towel bars for the same price. No matter how many throw blankets you own, you'll never need to dig through a bottomless pile to find your favorite lounging cozy lounging companion again.
