SMALL LINEN CLOSET ORGANIZATION IDEAS
HOW TO SIMPLIFY AND ORGANIZE A LINEN CLOSET
Organizing the linen closet in my small bathroom took some time but it was oh-so worth it! A makeover is in order if you are looking for more space in your own closet.
I have a decent-sized bathroom but a small linen closet. This means that I have to make the most of the room available. I don’t like clutter and I love to create a cute space for my stuff. If a space is organized, great. If it is cute and organized, simply amazing!
SIMPLE WAYS TO ORGANIZE YOUR LINEN CLOSET
When it comes to getting your linen closet organized, there are a few things you can do to start. To be honest, I usually start by removing everything.
Yes, everything.
This helps me to see what I have, what I need, and how much useful space I have. Occasionally, when I am organizing a space in my house, I get done taking everything out and then feel overwhelmed with the mess, but it forces me to forge ahead. This is also a great time to get rid of unnecessary items. For me, any closet I clean out has a bunch of junk that can be given away or tossed.
Unfortunately, clutter always accumulates in any space.
Once you see what you are working with, take the time to wipe down your shelves. This is the time to paint them or cover them with shelf liner.
Let’s take a look at some AMAZING organized linen closets! Some are small and some aren’t, but all of them use the space available to the max.

ORGANIZING TIPS FOR YOUR LINEN CLOSET
- Figure out what you need to store in the closet. Consider each person in your home and what they need to have in the bathroom. It may seem like too many items, but once you add some containers, you will find more space to store things.
- Buy storage containers that keep everything in its place. Several types of containers will work, including wire or wicket baskets, attachable wire shelves, and laundry hampers.
- If you have the money, buy color coordinated goods for the bathroom simply because it looks nice. Personally, anything that works to solve a problem AND that I like to look at is THE BEST! I am a firm believer in adding cuteness in simple and inexpensive ways.
- Fold all linens in the same way. Personally, I like to fold my towels in thirds, and it works with my not-so-deep shelves. If my shelves were deeper, I would probably fold in half to make the most of my space.

I love using glass jars for linen closet organization. Since they are see-through, they make it easy to see what you need quickly. Glass jars are great for organizing make-up, hair ties, Qtips, and tons of other small items. Of course, mason jars would work great for an inexpensive option!

For me, baskets are my favorite way to organize just about anything. Not only are they useful but many baskets are decorative as well. Shop for size as well as shape. Write down what you need for your linen closet and head to the store to get what you need.
CREATIVE WAYS TO ORGANIZE YOUR LINEN CLOSET
A fun way to create containers and save some money is to cover cardboard boxes with contact paper or wrapping paper. If you save your Amazon boxes, you can usually find the right size for the items you want to store. Check grocery stores for boxes as well.
Old plastic, glass, or metal containers can be painted with chalk paint. This saves a lot of money, and you can color coordinate your containers.
One idea is to use a paint color for each person in the house. That way each person has their own space. This will potentially leave you with less organizing to do down the road, as long as each person takes care of their goods.

Wire baskets are a perfect organizing container. You can see through them which makes it simple to spot what you need. Fabric can be used to line a wire basket if you would rather add some color to your linen closet.
