Organize Your Linen Closet With Our Tidying Tricks
Closets and cupboards often become catch-all places for items that we don’t quite know what to do with spot – and linen closets are no exception. From too many towels to poorly folded sheets and random bathroom accessories, linen closets pull way more than their fair weight in the organization world. That’s why we’re here to share our favorite tidying tricks for your tricky linen closet, which will help you clear the clutter and keep your space fresh and clean.
First, take inventory of what you absolutely need to have in the closet. If you have old towels, expired products, half-empty bottles of shampoo or other space-clogging items, recycle them or relocate them elsewhere. Next, group “like” items together in wire baskets, bins or This is a great way to keep smaller items (such as washclothes or soap bars) contained in a stylish way. Make sure you neatly fold or roll your bath towels and sheets, keeping edges hidden for the most attractive look. Stack them together, or place 3 or 4 per shelf. Finally, consider leaving empty space. While it may seem counterintuitive for these small but mighty closets, leaving space actually encourages you to keep the area neat and tidy and makes the space look larger. Too many items filling every square inch leads to frustration, and often looks messy and disorganized. Finish off your closet with decorative touches – labels for your bins, colorful wallpaper along the back wall or a faux plant. Ta-da! Your linen closet is as fresh and clean as the towels it holds inside!
