Linen Closet Organization

It’s time to take the skeletons out of the closet and organize your linens! Smaller closets can be tricky because you have limited room to fit all of your essentials. That’s why it’s important to have systems in place! Below we outline five ways to maximize your storage and minimize your stress.

Pillow & Duvet Storage

Store pillows, extra comforters, and duvet inserts on upper shelves. These lightweight items are easy to lift down when needed, and because they’re used less frequently, keeping them out of the prime storage zone frees up valuable space for everyday essentials.

Bins

At Horderly, we love using bins to help corral categories to keep “likes with likes”. This is especially useful for storing items on shelves because each bin creates a “drawer effect,” allowing you to pull out the full category and grab what you need while keeping the rest of the bin neat and organized. File fold your towels into bins to keep sets together, or store larger bulk categories like backstock toilet paper.

TIP: Don’t forget to add your bin clip labels to make clean up easy! They come in clear, white, and black to fit any style.

Sheet Organization

Keep your sheet sets tucked neatly together using sheet organizers. They fold your sets compactly into narrow rectangles, making it easier to store more sets in a small area, maximizing your shelf space and minimizing your effort.

TIP: Don’t forget to label so you know which sheet set belongs to which bed. Check out our favorite bluetooth label maker for all your labeling needs.

Over The Door Storage

Our tried-and-true Elfa back-of-door storage system is great for maximizing available real estate in a small closet. This renter-friendly organizer attaches with hooks to the back of your door and can be customized to fit your needs. Using a variety of baskets, these organizers are great for storing backstock items like cleaning sprays, laundry accessories, toiletries, steamers, and more! The smartstore inserts make wonderful additions to further separate categories within baskets.
