We have almost no kitchen storage. The apartment isn't big and the kitchen leaves much to be desired. There isn't a good place to store dish towels or dishrags. They end up getting knocked over into something or on the floor or whatever. Drives me nuts.
I saw a post online about someone making a homemade version of a paper towel by getting terry cloth at a fabric store and sewing it into a certain size and then putting snaps on the corners so they would roll up like paper towels.
There is a spot where I can hang two paper towel holders. I got a pack of bar mops (white dishtowels,super cheap but very durable and effective) and a pack of dishcloths at Sam's today. I am putting snaps on them and it is working very well. I am THRILLED! Esp as thank you almost threw away five dishcloths a few days ago because he knocked them over and they fell into the trash can! husband had moved them and the spot he chose was next to the trash but above it by about a foot.
I know some of you are in smaller kitchens and others don't like the cost to the pocketbook or the environment fo paper towels. So maybe these will help spark an idea for you. I thought about using velcro, but it would get yucky fast, in my opinion. And stick to the fabric and twist the towels up into knot.
