Add a little lift to changing your bed linens or restocking fresh towels in your bathroom this year by committing to living with an organized linen closet. Typically these spaces can be packed full of unused holiday-themed hand towels, expired medical and beauty potions, and sheets that we no longer appreciate. The first step in organizing a linen closet is to schedule time to complete the entire project from start to finish. The main reason that people are unsuccessful in achieving an organized space is because they underestimate how exhausting the process can be. Sorting and purging requires time, energy and a great deal of decision-making stamina, so prepare for the task by allowing a minimum of 4 hours for the job. Now, prepare a workspace on the floor of an adjacent bedroom. Give yourself plenty of room to sort and organize in the area that you choose. Remove the contents of the linen closet on to a clean sheet or blanket in the workspace. Next, assess what lies before you. Sort linens by size, set, color and pattern. Arrange towels by size and color. As you create your piles, check items for tears, stains, and worn or frayed edges. Commit to tossing or donating items that are showing their age, or are no longer used on a regular basis. Remember that you can only use one set of sheets on a bed at a time, so at most you may need 2 sets per bed. If you are squeezed for space, hang the extra sheet set for each bedroom on a suit hanger in the closet of that room. Once you have eliminated items that will not go back into the closet, assess your closet space and begin assigning "homes" to items that will be returned to the closet. Keep in mind the size of the space, how you can refine your storage system, and what was stored inconveniently in the past. Choose containers appropriate for the storage space and task. "Add a Shelf" products can be used to increase space for small items such as wash cloths. Pocket bags that hang on the back of a door can be used for toiletries and paper products. Clear plastic bins with lids are great for storing medicines, and bathing or hair products. Label each area so that everyone in your household can participate in maintaining your new system. Commit to a quick closet cleaning monthly so that you can keep your linens neat and organized. Continually update and toss out old to make way for new.
