New kitchen - where do tea towels go?!

31 replies

Just what the title says really 😂

I have a beautiful new kitchen that is almost finished and it occurred to me today that I don't want my tea towels hanging on the front of the oven door...but have no idea where else to put them!

Hit me with your genius ideas, please!

On the oven door.

At the end of one run of floor cupboards we have those circular things that you push the tea towel into (but here it's quite hidden from view).

AlwaysLatte · 07/12/2020 19:14

Ditto hating them on the oven door!

I bought these for mine - mine are on the outside but you could put them hanging inside instead maybe

MiddlesexGirl · 07/12/2020 19:15

Ah!
Inside of under sink cupboard on hooks?
But I like mine on oven door (range cooker so lower level). Makes the kitchen less clinical looking.

MothershipG · 07/12/2020 19:15

Me too!

I was thinking about putting a bar on the end of a run of units but it will be the first thing you see when you walk in the room. Rather spoiling the look.

I did have hooks on the inside of the door under the sink but no one (including me ☺️) could be bothered to use them.

I have a suction hook on the wine fridge door.

I actually don’t have tea towels, so that rather solves that problem. We have silicone oven mits and then use the downstairs loo for hand washing. Appreciate that’s rather a “middle class MNer assuming everyone has access to a downstairs loo” opinion but that works for us Wink

Large metal cuphook screwed into the butchers block - sideways into the top of the leg so it won't catch you as you pass

Uhtredswoman · 07/12/2020 19:19

Hmm - I might try inside one of the cupboards; great idea!

If that doesn't work maybe buying some new tea towels that match my beautiful kitchen will be the way to go!

Hooks on the side of an end cupboard, the boiler in our case.

nancybotwinbloom · 07/12/2020 19:38

Well I have show tea towels that match my kitchen but are not allowed to be used ever.

Like show towels.

The real tea towels are in a cupboard.

The show tea towels are folded all
Neat and lovely on the microwave.

Chasingsquirrels · 07/12/2020 19:41

On the cupboard under the sink in the kitchen & utility. Not very original but easy and to hand. Colours reasonably similar.

We have a bar handle on the dishwasher and it hangs on that.

Smallgoon · 07/12/2020 21:35

You know it's obligatory to post a picture of said new kitchen Grin

Needmoresleep · 07/12/2020 21:38

On a towel rail over the radiator.

SpeckledyHen · 07/12/2020 21:38

I keep them in a drawer , remove to dry glasses and throw straight into the washing machine after use . I never use them for anything else and don’t want them on show .

RJnomore1 · 07/12/2020 21:42

Hook which is command stripped to the inside of the corner cupboard with the carousel.

Nowt on display but near the oven.

Zinnia · 07/12/2020 21:58

On the dishwasher handle next to the sink. Drives me nuts. Making sure there is a place for them in new kitchen planning process!

MiddlesexGirl · 07/12/2020 22:33

Absolutely they must match. They are part of the decor.

nergissahin · 08/12/2020 00:33

an aesthetic towel hanger can be purchased

ZaraCarmichaelshighheels · 08/12/2020 00:47

I’ve got one of these that live in my cupboard under the sink so the tea towel is never on show.

I also have a handy downstairs cloak (still use kitchen or butlers to wash hands while cooking though). How do you dry hand washed items that don't go in the dishwasher?

It's currently still a building site - flooring going down today so hopefully shouldn't be long! 😀

This looks great - where did you get it?
