A linen closet is really a great place for getting your organizing feet wet. It can be a simple to complete job that can give you the satisfaction of a job well done quickly. That's of course if everything that is in the linen closet is linen. But if your linen closet needs to also operate as a towel, cleaning goods or anything else storage as well - step one is to evaluate if there is actually space for everything you wish to put in there and if there is a more suitable area for some of the items.
After you have determined what function the linen closet will have, choose what kind of linen closet organizer will work the best. Most closets of this nature function best using a series of wire closet shelves, but a few hooks and small baskets will help keep smaller bits and pieces from getting mislaid or appearing cluttered. But a mix of shelves and a small hanging rod is often functional too.
Keep the most used items at eye level for easy accessibility for instance bed linens or towels that are used on a daily basis or every week. Other common things to put away in a linen closet are out-of-season coats or comforters. It is best to put these in suitable storage containers or bags to help keep them clean.
If you're also keeping cleaning up goods and appliances in the linen closet (iron, ironing board, or even a vacuum cleaner), where you keep them is dependent upon whether you have young kids. If you do have kids about, put the cleansing goods up high and out of reach or better yet, fix a security lock on the door.
A great touch to add to your linen closet would be to hang lavender sachets or some other scented item to keep the bed sheets smelling nice and clean.
