Organizing Your Linen Closet (A Cultivated Nest)

Re-organizing this house before we put it on the market made me realize that I really, really like having a place for everything and everything in it’s place! I was surprised at how much my husband loves it too! One of the great things about moving is that you get to start over with your home. I plan on spending some time making sure that all the spaces in our new home are maximized for storage (since it’s a smaller home).

One of those spaces is the linen closet! Most people don’t have a large linen closet so it’s really easy to just stuff things in there. But there’s something really lovely about an organized linen closet isn’t there! To help inspire you I’ve gathered some great linen closet organization ideas.

What a great idea! Use a office file sorter to hold washcloths! See this linen closet makeover at The Real Thing With The Coake Family

Love the idea of using towel racks on the inside of the linen closet door via BHG. You could hang your tablecloths or tea towels on them. I roll my big bath towels like those pictured above instead of folding them.

Place shelf dividers between stacks to keep them separate and again, labels help. See the full makeover at Simplicity In The South

Here’s an interesting idea from Martha Stewart. Wrap each sheet set in a square of fabric to keep the sets together and easy to find (some people also like to put all the sheets into a pillowcase of the set.
