Linen closets can be a space for disaster. To get started, take inventory of what you have that needs to be stored in your linen closet. Get rid of the things you no longer want to keep and things that shouldn’t be in the linen closet. Dividers and baskets and other containers can be used to store items, but be sure that after taking inventory you know exactly what you have left and what you need to store it. For example, how many dividers, how many baskets and what sizes. Also determine how they will fit together to store everything. Once you’ve done your homework, then purchase your containers. Doing so before hand can have you ending up with the wrong containers, or not enough of them to store your items.
Store seasonal items up top and things used every day within easy reach. Label shelves, baskets and other containers so everyone knows where everything goes. This will help you avoid possible disaster. Limit your number of linens to what you need in order to keep down the clutter.
