The linen closet is probably the most neglected storage space in the house. We only get to open it a few times a year, but it doesn’t mean that we should no longer make sure that it is orderly. Here are simple tips on organizing your closet meant for linens:

• Check your closet at least once a year to see whether there are items that are already worn out or no longer needed so that you can discard it, thereby creating more room for other important things
• If you are keeping large blankets for winter on this closet, pull it out, vacuum seal it and store in the attic to create more closet space
• Make sure that only usable towels are in the closet utility towels or those that can already be used as rugs should be taken out and stored in the garage or shed instead
• Ensure that every item in the closet is still being used in your home, if not, it is better to get rid of it by giving it away, so that it wouldn’t take up precious room.
