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.
We split a closet in my room for DD because there's no closet at all in her bedroom. Once she got tall enough/had clothes that were too long for that (around age 6), we bought her a stand-alone IKEA closet. The sheets to her bed live on a shelf at the top of this IKEA closet.
I don't have a hall closet or a linen closet either. The only "storage" we have was the sink vanity cabinets and medicine cabinets. We installed a wall mounted cabinet above the toilet in each bathroom. DD's towels are under her sink in that vanity, along with a box of excess bath toys. The cabinet above her toilet has guest towels and extra toiletries.
In the master bath I put towels and medicine in the cabinet above the toilet. Our under sink vanity storage has products we use daily.
I have an armoire in the guest bedroom that used to house scrapbooking supplies and extra sweatshirts/winter clothes. I pared down my scrapbook stuff and moved the winter clothes to under-bed storage bins. I now use the cabinet portion of my armoire for storing sheets.

We went from 3 bathrooms & 2 large linen closets down to one bathroom & 0 linen/hallway closets. Apparently people in Houston in the 1950s air dried. I ended up getting rid of 2/3 of our towels. We didn't even notice the missing towels. They weren't really being used. I also bought a small cabinet for our bathroom.
