ORGANIZE Your Linen Closet!

Your linen closet can tell a lot about you and your family.

The right shelving is the key element in organizing your linen closet and keeping it organized.  Floor to ceiling shelving makes great use of your closet space.  If you do not have built-in shelving in your linen closet, below are some great shelving suggestions:

Once you have adequate shelving in place, remove everything from your linen closet and sort through the items dividing them by what you use and what you don’t use. The only items that should be in your linen closet are the sheets, towels and blankets that you actually use.

Organize your sheets and pillow cases either by size or by bedroom.  For easy access, towels and wash cloths should be organized by size, as well as by color.

Your visiting guests should be able to open your linen closet and find exactly what they need, without any embarrassment on your part.

Keep bathroom toiletries on a separate shelf, although a better option is to place these items in each bathroom for easier access.  Always keep extra toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, and other toiletries available for your house guests to make them feel welcome and comfortable.

If you do not have adequate space in your linen closet for blankets and comforters, one option is to place them in under-the-bed storage.  This will also give you additional space in your linen closet for everyday items.
