  1. Bed linen
  2. bath towels
  3. suitcases if you live in a house without a loft/cellar?

The bed linen and towels are bulky and I don’t think we have an excessive amount. They need to be easily accessible, as we change them regularly.

Bed linen - in a storage box under the bed.
Towels - in a cupboard in the bathroom.
Suitcases in the loft, but if you haven't got a loft - the shed? Spare room? Under the bed? Top of the wardrobe?

Bedlinen in a large zipped storage bag in the bottom of a wardrobe.
Bath towels on a tall shelving unit with a cupboard below for the toiletries.
Suitcases live on top of a wardrobe.

How often do you use the suitcases? I'd be tempted to get rid of them.

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 11/05/2024 23:07

Under our bed.

Towels in airing cupboard. Bedding in storage boxes under the beds

Towels and bedding in airing cupboard. Suitcases on top of a wardrobe. Yes, it looks ugly.

Towels and bed linen in wardrobe in spare bedroom. Suitcases on top of wardrobe

poshfrock · 11/05/2024 23:12

Towels and bedding in airing cupboard. Suitcases - one in cupboard under stairs, rest in garage and a couple of holdalls in cupboard above wardrobe.

Theoldwoman · 11/05/2024 23:14

Bed linen and towels are kept in the hallway linen closet. But I am a minimalist, so just what we need.

Suitcases are kept on shelves in the garage.

Riverlee · 11/05/2024 23:22

We have a linen cupboard for towels and bed linen.

Suitcases are in the wardrobe .

Thighdentitycrisis · 11/05/2024 23:27

Linen and towels in the landing airing cupboard. Suitcase in spare room filled with either winter or summer clothing.

LauderSyme · 11/05/2024 23:32

Bedlinen and towels in a cupboard in a bedroom because they come out of the airing cupboard smelling funny.

I am lucky to have an attic now but when I didn't, suitcases went under my double bed. I bought a bed frame which has space under it for that reason.

DancingFerret · 11/05/2024 23:34

Airing cupboard for towels, linen, and winter or summer duvet, depending on the time of year. Suitcases live in the attic.

justasking111 · 11/05/2024 23:35

Bed linen in an antique chest of drawers in the guest bathroom which doubles as a dressing table.

Towels I bought a great bathroom chest which sits at the end of the bath holds the towels and hides the loo roll pack. I should have thought of it years ago 🙈

Librarybooker · 11/05/2024 23:37

Bed linen and towels in the airing cupboard top shelf plus a few bedding spares in the ottoman stool in DCs bedroom. Suitcases - 3 55cm cabin cases in what I call the ‘nook’ in the spare room. It’s a sort of alcove created by creative extending of our house by the Victorians. There are 3 bigger suitcases, one is in DCs nook and the others are in a storage area also afforded by the joining of rooms. It’s hard to explain but our understairs is like a tardis 😂

A couple of spare towels (at least one of each size) are left folded up in each bathroom, the rest (and there are lots!) are in an oak cupboard on the first floor landing.

Bed linen is kept in a full height cupboard in the spare bedroom. Spare duvets, pillows etc are in the KS ottoman bed in the spare room.

We have an airing cupboard but oddly enough keep very little in it, really need to get some slatted shelving fitted and make use of the space.

Don't have suitcases.

We have a loft (no cellar) but made it a rule that nothing is to be stored in it (shame really as it is vast) as that way it cannot become a dumping ground.
One of the bedrooms is a dedicated store room with cupboards, shelving and lots of boxes (including the usual Christmas decorations)🎄

Bed linen in drawers under my bed
Towels in airing cupboard
Cases in a cupboard. I am lucky to have a large cupboard in my flat.

Mossstitch · 12/05/2024 00:00

Towels in bathroom, I have quite a large cupboard with a bowl sink on top.
Bedding is in one of the four huge drawers under my ikea bed.
Large cupboard in loft extension houses the suitcases.

SnowFrogJelly · 12/05/2024 00:04

Bed linen and towels in drawers and airing cupboard, suitcases in my huge cupboard under the stairs

soundsys · 12/05/2024 00:06

Yep similar to others, bedding in boxes under beds and towels in the bathroom cupboard. Suitcases are in an odd cupboard where our washing machine is but previously have lived in top of wardrobes.

Choccyp1g · 12/05/2024 00:10

Bedlinen and towels IN the suitcases, under the bed.

MolkosTeenageAngst · 12/05/2024 00:14

Bed linen and towels in my wardrobe. Suitcases under the bed.

GodOfTheOldTestament · 12/05/2024 00:15

Bed linen, I only have one set per bed. I wash, dry and put on the bed the same day. The towels in the airing cupboard. The suitcases go in large, heavy-duty plastic bags and on a shelf in the garage.

justasking111 · 12/05/2024 00:15

Put this in my bathroom
