8 perfect bathroom linen closet organization ideas for the best ways to sort sheets, keep cleaning supplies and toiletries handy, make laundry easier, and have guest amenities in easy reach.

Because whenever I’m feeling a little stressed, I say a little prayer, put on some makeup, and clean or organize something. It works every time to give me a positive energy boost.

This week, I was feeling a little “blah”, and the bathroom linen closet needed an organization refresh anyway. In 2 hours, I had a freshly tidy closet inour kids’ bathroomand a big heaping dose of endorphins. Win/win!

Linen Storage Ideas When You Don't Have A Closet

We did get lucky with the linen closet’s deep shelves already installed by previous owners (you can see how toDIY this same linen closet shelvingto replace wire shelves here), but it had sheets spilling out and towels haphazardly thrown in.

If your bathroom linen closet needs some love too, here are some tips to maximize it with tons of storage and function.

Color coding hampersis a great idea to encourage your family members to sort their light and dark laundry without them even thinking about it. Leave some extra space under the lower shelves to make closet space for hampers on wheels and larger items like duvet inserts.

We have tile and hardwood floors, so I love that I can easily roll this hamper out of the linen closet when I need to. The top has a drawstring as an easy way to tote the entire collapsible bin to the laundry room.

We like to keep at least one extra duvet and quilt per bed size on hand for guests or rotating for laundry, so we store them in thislarge handled basket.

Especially with having young kids who sometimes gets sick in the middle of the night, we always need easy access to clean quilts at a moment’s notice.

How To Organize Your Linen Closet Efficiently

Keepclear stackable storage binsat eye level to make it easy to grab smaller items and extra toiletries like body wash when you run out or want a quick scoop of epsom salt for a bath.

When you use clear containers on linen closet shelves, it’s easier to see when you need to stock up. Wire baskets can work well in a small space for this purpose too. Stackable is a great way to utilize vertical space when you don’t have the luxury of a walk-in closet.

I’ve made the mistake of just assuming everyone would know where to put things in our bathroom linen closet by glancing at what is already IN the bins. Nope. Doesn’t work. Make it an organizing-for-dummies situation to help you family maintain what you’ve already tidied.

I love these pretty Home Editlabel stickers with pretty script(I wish my handwriting was that amazing). For other things that don’t work with the pre-written labels, thislabel makerdoes the trick.

Something about white towels just makes your bathroom feel like a spa. Plus, having all white makes laundry day easy and reduces visual clutter.

Linen Closet Organizing: Create More Storage

Fold extra towels into thirds to make for neat stacking, and use shelf dividers if you have a wide shelf. These are some of my favoriteplush towelsandsoft sheets.

I prefer putting cleaning supplies in astorage caddyso that I can tote around all of the sprays and cleaning solutions I need to our three bathrooms on cleaning day without juggling bottles and dropping them all over the place. A lazy susan works well too.

Place it right back on the shelf when you’re done. And in case a kiddo has a spill, he or she will know where to find the clean up stuff.

Keeplarge binsin easy reach to store extra rolls of toilet paper, washcloths and hand towels, and tools like hairdryers, curling irons, diffusers, humidifiers, and related items.

I make sure to keep toilet paper in plain sight for guests especially. (Because who wants to ask that question when you realize you’ve run out of TP mid-business at someone’s house?)

If you have more than one size bed in your house, keep the different sizes of sheets separated when storing them for the best linen closet organization. Fold the flat sheet and pillowcases inside of the fitted sheet to keep sets together.

I absolutely can’t stand when our sets of sheets sizes get jumbled up, and then I have to go digging through a giant pile to search for king and queen sizes.Lidded storage basketskeep them sorted and make them stay that way to prevent a messy linen closet.

The Cardboard Hack That'll Revolutionize Your Linen Closet Storage

Do you really need three sets of sheets for your guest bed that’s rarely used? What about those flannel sheets that you decided were too hot for you? Are you ever going to use all 20 of your pillowcases? Odds are that if you haven’t used something in the past year, you aren’t going to miss it. Donate any linens you’re willing to part with, and let’s move on to whipping your closet into shape…

While you’ve got everything out of your closet, it’s the perfect time to freshen it up with a coat of paint if needed. Why bother? I’m more motivated to keep spaces neatly organized when they look nice and I’m guessing some of you are the same. The walls of our linen closet were a drab tan color, so I painted the side walls white and covered the back wall with :

The paper is nice and thick so you can’t see any of the dark wall color underneath it and since there’s no pattern matching with a stripe like this, I was able to get the whole closet done with a single roll.

Shelf dividers can also be useful for keeping linens in neat stacks. The shelf dividers that I’ve used in the past include that slide onto wood shelves and that I used in my recent post on closet organization ideas:

Folding your towels and linens uniformly not only makes your linen closet look neatly organized, but also saves you space. I fold our towels in half lengthwise, then fold them in half widthwise, and then fold them in thirds to fit our 12″ deep shelves.

Stackable clear drawers make the most of your vertical space by storing first aid supplies, thermometers, and other small items that you keep in your linen closet. I have two of that are the perfect fit for four of (4.92″ W size) holding bandaids, cough drops, and other first aid supplies:
