Linens with a holiday or seasonal theme, such as flannel sheets, should not be stored in a linen area during the offseason.

They can be stored on a shelf or even tucked between the mattress and box spring.

Store bed linens in the bedroom where they are used.

Keep any items that are hazardous to children out of these low areas. They can be placed in bins and categorized, according to use, then labeled. Keep extra soaps, shampoos, toothpaste and other items in a basket on the floor next to the paper.

Keep toilet paper on the floor under the lowest shelf.Try hanging tablecloths on towel racks mounted on the back of the linen closet door to save space.It does not make sense to use a valuable storage area for something that is not used often. Little-used linens should also be stored away from the linen area that is used daily. This prevents dust from showing on the crease line. Store seldom-used linens by folding them wrong side out.Put the newly washed towels and sheets on the bottom, and always work from the top. When putting away fresh linens, be sure to rotate them so that one set does not get more worn than another.That way there is no wasted time folding, and extra sheets are not taking up space in the closet. Keep two sets of sheets for each bed - one for the bed, another for backup.Put a lavender sachet in with the linens to keep them smelling fresh while stored. It keeps the closet neater and saves time when making beds because there's no need to go through a mess of odd sheets. Slip sheet sets inside their coordinating pillowcases.When towel edges face out, it's tough to grab just one. Stacking towels with folded sides out, like they are displayed in stores, will make it easy to remove the towels one at a time.Hand towels and face cloths can be rolled and stored in wicker baskets or layered on a shelf in the bathroom. If linen storage space is limited, decorate the bathroom with towels.
