Simple ways to keep your linen closet in tip top shape

Keeping your linen closet as organized as possible can seem like a tedious and unnecessary task, but there are numerous pros to storing your linens effectively! Not only will you be able to reach for items without making a mess, but these tips will also prevent anything from getting damaged or looking "worn." 

STRATEGICALLY STORE SHEETS, TOILETRIES, TOWELS AND PILLOWCASES

If your linen closet is currently a chaotic disaster, you're not alone! Placing things in a strategic way will save you a whole lot of stress. The bottom of a linen closet is the best place to store extra duvets, off-season sheets, mattress covers and pillow covers. Keep the centre of the closet for items that you reach for often, such as fitted and flat sheets, additional toiletries, towels and pillowcases. When storing items that aren't used much (small suitcases, extra pillows, etc.), try and fit them into the top of the closet. 

ROTATE YOUR LINENS

We're all guilty of placing a bunch of items on top of our linens to cram as much in as possible. However, this can cause your linens to become worn. Rather than shoving sheets and towels into any slot of space, stick to our shelving suggestions and rotate your linens. While it's easy to forget, try to rotate your linens when you can to keep them fresh. This will help prevent unnecessary pilling on items that you aren't even using regularly. 

UTILIZE STORAGE BINS

While it's common to store miscellaneous toiletries under the bathroom sink, you might have extra items that you prefer to keep in your linen closet. From first-aid kits to extra stock of toothpaste, having designated storage bins for these items is key. Best of all, you don't have to spend a whole lot of money to make this small change! Your local dollar store should have a variety of bins and baskets in any size that you need.
