Is your linen closet a tangle of faded sheets and crumpled hand towels? Solutions to all your organizing woes
Linens and towels are bulky and must earn their space. If you haven’t used a set of sheets for a year, get rid of them. If you’re purposely saving some ratty ones for camp or trips, don’t keep them with the daily linens. Store them in the garage with the travel bags and camping gear.
The most common and logical choice is the hallway leading to the bedrooms, in close vicinity to the main bathroom, so sheets and towels are accessible to all the rooms where they’re needed. Many homes come equipped with a specific linen closet in that location.
A runner-up option is to store linen sets in the rooms where they’re used. If you choose this option, you could store your towels in a storage unit in the bathroom.
The least-logical option for linen storage is the laundry room. Neither sheets nor towels are used in the laundry room — so use that extra space for sorting hampers or other upgrades to your laundry system!
