Storage for towels sheets etc

[insomniaclife]

I have just taken out a cupboard at the top of my stairs, built over part of the stairwell floor to ceiling. I kept my towels and sheets in it but always a jumbled mess.

I have a spare room and want to set up a better system using deep shelving and some kind of box system - now I'm wondering if this was madness.

I could put a piece of furniture eg an armoire or chest of drawers etc in the spare room instead of

How and where do you store your spare or seasonal shoes/towels/sheets? Is there a master plan that provides easy access and viability, and the motivation to put things away nicely?

Some people swear by keeping sheet sets organised by folding them and putting them inside one of the pillow cases. I did it for a little bit but it didn’t stick.

Getting rid of some linens helped me but I have never found a system I love so following this with interest.

I was going to post a similar thread asking where everyone stores their linen too. We have renovated what was a derelict house, so we never lived in it beforehand. I too am wondering where to store excess towels/sheets? 🤔

My mum has a large, inbuilt hall cupboard and each shelf it labelled- single beds, king beds etc.

I use the ikea zip up storage bags. They do two sizes. The smaller ones hold duvet sets including the mattress protector. The bigger ones can also hold the duvets and pillows. Useful because I have two spare bedrooms which I rarely use so I don’t like the beds left made up.

Towels I keep in the airing cupboard and I keep them neatly folded so I don’t just have a big untidy mess like I used to have.

Edited to add that I just stack the IKEA bags on the floor of a cupboard rather than having a piece of furniture specially.
