Anyone not have a linen closet?

[Redpoppy]

Under bed storage. We put ours on risers I get a few more inches of space b

God dammit you pre-empted my "Well you only have one towel" joke.

[rootbeerfloat]

I'm dying that you now have nowhere to store ALL YOUR TOWELS.

I would look into some sort of shelving for your bathroom(s).

[linz]

No hall or bathroom closets. I have a bookshelf in our office that had towels, toiletries and extra crap. It doesn't look too bad and no one goes in that room. It's right next to the bathroom.

[mlt]

We did and then we moved and now we don't. It's a huge pain.

I store towels in a cabinet in the corner of the master bedroom. NOT ideal.

We had been putting them under the bed, but we needed to use them so that wasn't working for the towels. So sheets are under the bed. For the towels we bought a thing that goes above the toilet and I just fold them nicely on top of that.

We don't so we bought this shelf www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CVGB8R0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00 to go in our bedroom right outside the bathroom. We store towels, sheets an extra toiletries (in baskets) on it.

My first thought too!

We don't have a linen closet. Our extra linens are stored in bins on a shelf above the washer and dryer. I have a linen closet envy :-(

[anna7602]

I do not own many towels or many sheets. We store things at the tops of closets or in bedroom dresser drawers.

We don't have a linen closet. Extra towels go in a big basket in the bathroom, extra blankets under the bed, extra sheets in a hamper in the bedroom, and toiletries under the sink.

[awkwardpenguin]

We don't have a linen or hall closet. Linens are in bins in the baby room closet.

[boiler717]

We had four towels in the bathroom (all the rest for guests, etc were in an plastic bin in the basement. I kept a spare set of sheets in the dresser.

[zeewifeandmama]

Ugh I'm in the same boat! Been on the hunt for a trunk.

[redheadbaker]

We have one coat closet, no linen closet, and the tiniest bathroom EVER built. We have towels everywhere -- piled on the covered heater in the bathroom, on the top shelf in the bedroom closet, in under-bed storage boxes ... I hate it.

[AlpineSlide]

what about in the laundry room?

[preppy]

We don't have a linen closet in our loft. We have our towels and sheets in this cabinet from target. We have it at the top of our stairs on the landing outside the bathroom.

we have 2 closets: a small one in our room and a very big one in L's room.

we added shelves/organization to L's closet. it is 1/2 her stuff and 1/2 winter coats and extra linens (sheets for guests, seasonal bedding, and 1 guest towel). L's towels are hanging on an over the door hook in her closet. our towels (2 each) are on a shelf at the top of our closet.

can you add any shelves in the closets?

Is this a TX thing? I've never heard of it.

Just curious!

[Muddled]

We actually have a linen closet! But we also have a small bookshelf in the bathroom.

Kind of, lol. Basically place for tornados/severe weather. We've always had a basement and lived in DC, so never worried about it too much.

Gotcha. I thought maybe but wasn't sure.

Thanks for answering.


A trunk would be cute and functional! That or a bench with storage.

[tacokick]

We have dressers. One for sheets and one for towels.

It's sort of just a pass through to the back yard. No space for any shelves or anything.

I think the trunk thing will work if I can find one. Easily something we could take with us too.

I bought an inexpensive upholstered one at Target. Homegoods usually has them too.

I have an armoire in my office filled with linens and overflow bath products. Our house has minimal storage and np one goes into my office. It fits in with the rest of the decor so no one would know it's full of linens and not office items unless they opened it lol.

[pinkdutchtulips]

In my itsy bitsy 800 sf apt NO ! linen closet 3 drawers of my HUGE 10 drawer dresser are my linen 'closet'

[cjeanette]

Our house doesn't have one either and it bugs me. 3400 sq ft and you can't pop in a little hall closet? We bought a rack from overstock for our bathroom towels. The kids I shove in an unorganized fashion under their sink. Beach towels in the laundry room. Extra bedding in spare room closet.

All this work could have been avoided with one little closet!

[anna7602]

Not only do I not have a linen closet, it appears that I barely have enough towels to send DD off to camp for a week without being in danger of having to use a baby towel to dry myself while she's gone.

Eta: sorry for the hellacious run-on sentence. It has been a long day!

I don't think I"ve ever had a linen closet.

So this is what I've always done. 

Currently I only have 1 closet in my apartment and towels and sheets are in drawers.

The lady who lived here before took out the linen closet. Bitch lived alone so she had 3 bedrooms of space.
We split L's closet in half. The bottom half is her stuff. Everything's short so it works for now. The top half is shelves for towels and sheets.
What happens when she is too tall for half closet? Unknown.

[heygrey]

in this house I have an antique trunk, but in a previous apartment I had an upholstered ottoman. Both are great options and easy to transport.

target and tj max would be my first stops for an ottoman.
