How to fold towels using the Konmari method

Marie Kondo is a Japanese homesteading expert known for her konmari technique that has taken the world by storm. The essence of her method is to restore order not only in the house, but also in your own head. Decluttering and convenient arrangement of things contributes to the harmonization of space and human life. Let's figure out how Marie Kondo suggests storing towels and bath accessories.

The essence of the method

Marie Kondo's book is written in the best traditions of minimalism. Who else, if not the Japanese, knows all the intricacies of this science. The phrase that cleaning is done once in a lifetime becomes clear after reading the book.

The essence of the konmari method is simple: getting rid of unnecessary things and finding the right place for what you need.

Sorting

The accumulation of things does not only lead to clutter in the house. Ultimately, towels and other accessories purchased at a bargain price at sales become less fresh and new after lying in the dresser for a long time. It is much more pleasant, if necessary, to go to the store and purchase an item that meets the needs of the moment.

Conclusion: get rid of all the towels that don't bring you joy. These are old, washed, lost softness, faded products. There is one important rule: when you touch a thing, you need to experience joy - this is a reason to leave it, no matter what condition it is in. Everything else goes into the trash bin.

How to fold

Konmari rule: every thing should have its own place, and you need to choose it so that it is convenient not to take it out, but to put it away. This will significantly save the housewife’s time after drying the towels.

So, the bathroom is not the best place to store anything, as it is the wettest and hottest room in the house. Getting to the chest of drawers with things is a matter of a few seconds; in fact, it’s easier to store accessories and clean the bathroom.

Sorting by type

It is much easier to put all the towels in one place. This makes them easier to find and return to the shelf after use. Collect items of one type, do not spread them all over the house. For towels, you should allocate one drawer of a dresser or closet.

Advice
The magazine purity-en.htgetrid.com draws attention to one idea from Kondo's book: it makes sense to create separate storage areas for personal belongings for each family member.

Folding method

Vertical placement is the basis for storing all things using the Konmari method. Stacking towels leads to the accumulation of excess and unnecessary ones, since we cannot appreciate the space they occupy and see all the layers. And such storage also causes inconvenience. Towels that are at the beginning of the pile are doomed to oblivion. It is very difficult to pull them out from under the pile without damaging its structure.

To organize a closet or chest of drawers, roll all the towels. This will make it convenient to place them vertically. Now, to take an item from the shelf, you don’t need to hold the rest. All items are clearly visible and will be used more often.

By color

Another trick that will make your closet space visually nicer and cleaner is to arrange things according to the color scheme.From dark towels on the right to light ones on the left - this is how Marie Kondo recommends arranging household items and clothes.

Kondo’s book “The Magic of Tidying Up. The Japanese art of putting things in order at home and in life” has deservedly become a bestseller, which has already helped many people not only organize space in the house, but also get rid of the burden of the past and step towards prospects. This is precisely the goal set by the author of the technique: free your home from unnecessary and negative things in order to make it a place of reboot and inspiration for a better understanding of yourself and new achievements.
