Organisational perfection: five linen cupboard tips
Organising the linen cupboard can be frustrating at the best of times, and a nightmare at the worst. So we’ve got five simple things you can do to make your linen cupboard stay neat and presentable.
- Roll your towels – This one is so easy to do, and it makes it so easy to grab a single towel when you need one. Even easier if you keep these often-used items front and centre.
- Bundle your sheet sets – Another simple but effective hack. Place a spare set of sheets in a neat pile, and then tie them up with ribbon. You could also achieve the same effect by placing the whole set inside a pillowcase. No more hunting around for missing pieces – they’ll all be easy to see and completely grab-able.
- Coordinate shelves – If you use your linen cupboard for more than just spare sheets and towels, you might want to think about keeping like items together. Have one shelf for spare cleaning supplies, another for spare sheets, etc. Remember to keep your most-used items where you can see and retrieve them easily. And anything heavy should live down the bottom.
- Baskets for small items – It seems there are always bits and pieces floating around linen cupboards, and they never have a proper home. So why not pick up some small baskets or boxes and use them for those things you know you need, but not right now.
- Label your shelves – Use some adhesive labels – or even just masking tape – to give everything a place to live. That way you won’t get confused about how you had it perfectly sorted before your guests arrived – you’ll be able to easily see where everything belongs.
