Begin by determining what you need to store in your linen closet. Do you need shelf space for towels and bed linens or a place to store shampoo, toothpaste, and other bathroom necessities? Do you want to keep a hamper in your linen closet? After you have determined all your needs, let's start organizing.
Ventilated shelving is ideal in linen closets because it prevents things from getting studied and always allows air to circulate. Shelves in your linen closet should be sixteen to twenty inches deep so your towels and linens fit completely on the shelf. Space the shelves according to your needs. Allow thirteen inches between shelves for sheets and towels and twenty inches for storing blankets and pillows. Keep the things used most often at an easy-to-reach spot.
Wire drawer systems are great in linen closets because you can store things in the wire baskets that you do not want to store on the shelves. You may choose to store your curlers and hair dryer in a basket and even the kid's bathtub toys in another basket. You can use one large basket in your system as your clothes hamper. When the basket gets dull and it is time to do the laundry, you can pull the basket out of the frame and take it right to the laundry area. Racks on the back of a swing door are great for extra storage. Tissue, toilet paper, medicines, and other bathroom accessories can be kept out of the way on this door rack. Medicines should always be kept high and out of the reach of children.
We hope these tips will be helpful in organizing your linen closet and if you need some assistance, consult your local closet design firm.
