5 Tips to Organize Your Linen Closet

With the seasons changing it’s time to think about switching up your linens to something warmer and that means opening up your linen closet. A linen closet may be one of the last places you may think to organize solely because it is one of those out of the way places where the door is almost always closed.

Besides linens, we tend to store a lot of other items such as toiletries and other stuff that may get used in that part of the house.

It is therefore easy for it to become a very disorganized mess taking a lot of time to find what you need. Or you may end up purchasing items you didn’t require because you couldn’t find them.

Here are 5 tips to keep your linen closet neat and organized.

Baskets & containers

Use baskets or containers to keep corral smaller items and label them for easy identification and locating. Separate all of your toiletries, dental items and first aid supplies. Keep them in separate containers and label them so when you need that bandage you are not searching through other items to find it.

Bundling

Bundle sheet sets together keeping sheets for different bedrooms separated.

When doing laundry fold the top and bottom sheet and one pillow case.

Stack them or bundle them together and place them inside the second pillow case.

Now you can easily see what you have and you won’t have everything topple over on you when you are removing them from the closet for use.

 

Label shelves

Label the shelves that the linens are placed on.Once labelled everyone will know where the sheet sets are for their own beds and if you have help doing laundry or putting laundry away there are no questions as to where something needs to go.

 

Seasonal switch

Keep your seasonal linens (heavier bed spreads and comforters) up high. The larger and warmer bedspreads or maybe even flannel vs. linen sheets tend to get rotated only once every six months or so.

Therefore, if you have the space, keep these on the top shelf as you only need access to them a couple times a year.

Face cloth frustration

Facecloths are always the most trouble. We all have a lot of these and they tend to fall over when they are put away.

Try putting them in a wicker or cloth basket to contain them or roll them up rather than fold them to prevent toppling. Besides, they will look neater when you open the linen closet door.
